Waayyy back in 1995, when I was looking for a "sexy" back bay shallow water boat, I came upon the conclusion that the old Architect Frank Lloyd Wright had it correct.
Form follows function. So I bought a Majek RFL. Never regretted it.
So, I applied the same thought to my purchase of a semi-automatic pistol, and went with the Berretta 92FS Compact. Not a true compact, but never looked back.
