    I'm a compact guy all the way. It all comes down to personal preference though, try a compact out and a full size and see how they feel in your hand. I've got big hand so most people would think a full size would be better for me however, I carry at all times and I like the compacts as they are easier to conceal.

    Full size, just like I like my food.

    I prefer a full size, it feels better in my hand personally. However it is all personal preference like everyone else has said. Also your application. But whatever size you get, practice makes perfect.

    Glock is the brand. I carry a g19. I am looking to get a pistol to target shoot with. Just wondering what everyone's opinion was as far as witch is better full size or compact
    I carry the g19 as well, but my wife would prefer me to carry something
    smaller that I can conceal. I have shot the ruger lcp & it felt okay. You
    know the more compact vs full size you will feel more recoil. At least that
    has been my experience.

    Anyway if you looking strictly for a target pistol I would consider a
    22 like a ruger markIII/buckmark or if you can pick up an AA conversion
    kit. Personally I just got a ruger markIII & I am going to get the AA
    conversion kit for my g19 when I can find one.
