Greetings,
Rented a PX4 Compact over the weekend and was very favorably impressed. After the shoot, perused the retail section of the range and fondled amongst other things, a 92 Compact (no rail). Like a G19 vs G17, even though I didn't shoot it, I could really lock onto the grip of the compact frame. Any thoughts on the Compact? Shootability, accuracy, etc.? I'm in NJ, so CCW isn't really a factor.
IMHO, the 92 Compact is a really nice shooter. The short slide 92's track really flat to me. I'm very happy with the accuracy, too. I don't consider myself a good bullseye shooter, but 2.5" groups at 25 are fairly routine, as is staying on the black of a B-8 at 50. Mine prints a little high, so it requires a 6 o'clock hold at those distances, and I wish Bill Wilson would make a .255" rear sight. I did have a problem with my support hand slipping during rapid fire strings with the OEM plastic stocks, but the WC Thin Grips solved that.
I also really like HK LEM guns, including the USPc and P2000, and think they're superb carry options, but the 92C just shoots a little better for me.

That's true. Was posting with too little time earlier. I have big hands. Like the USP 45 full size is just right - made by large northern Europeans for large northern Europeans. Or something like that. My 96D police trade in has the Hogue finger-groove wraparound grip with the grooves ground off, and that works pretty well for me. I couldn't quite get a good, natural-feeling grasp on the 92 Compact, whereas the USPc really fit and locked in to my grip well, just felt totally right for something that size. It was several months ago, so I don't really remember much more detail than that.
I keep waffling about picking up a clean 92D Centurion, but have so far resisted the wantsies.
