One thing I would recommend is to pick up some buffers to cushion the op rod. The mini is known for being rough on scopes. I put one on my Ranch rifle back in the lat '80s and it only took a few mags worth to grenade it.
Kahr CM9 in my front pocket with 2 spare 7 rd. mags most of the time. Occasionally my XDS .45 4.0 when it gets cooler. Both with Federal HST's. And a S&W 637 for when I need something lighter.
