I really wanted one myself for a while. I love the way the feel, especially with the wraparound grips. But then I shot a friends Springfield v10 ultra compact. The Springfield is a heavier gun and it's ported and it still had a pretty mean recoil, enough so that I didn't think it was a fun gun to shoot and that is my first priority in a gun. As much as I hate to say it, if I were to get a compact I'd probably go with a Keltec p11 and I really don't like 9mms.
