Another rule of thumb of mine is that I never buy smaller than I absolutely have to, in anything. Miniaturization breeds problems like Hillary breeds VD...

But if I were going to buy small, again, I'd go with Glock, Colt, Kahr (my pm 9 is flawless and tiny, 500 rounds so far with no failures)

The problem I have with the SA is odd. It's as though the ramp is the wrong angle. The slide comes forward and pushes the cartrdge to the ramp and the cartridge noses downward. Weird. It was fine when the recoil spring was strong but now it can't do it. The extractor is never touched.

I agree with you on trying to make things too small. Too many people think a short barreled pistol is the way to go. The barrel isn't the part that has to be hid. It's the butt and having a short barreled ten shot isn't the way to go. The way to go is to have a short framed 1911 and then carry a Wilson eight shot mag as a backup. If you need the extra ammo at the time, having a mag stick out the bottom isn't going to matter.
