Hello!  I am getting the PX4 in 9mm, but I am trying to decide between the sub-compact or compact.  I am interested in the rotating barrel on the compact version, but the sub-compact would be more fitting for my size.  Let me know what you think :)

I have a full size in .40 and the rotating barrel does help quite a bit with recoil.  If you are sensitive to recoil the larger size and the rotating barrel of the compact 9mm are going to suit you.  Having said that I have two sub compacts in 9mm (one is the wife's) and find them to be a pleasure to shoot and quite accurate.  I've shot the sub compact enough that it has become my primary CCW. because of its reliability and size.

Thanks for your reply. What does your wife think about the recoil and loudness of her 9mm subcompact? Does she use it for her EDC? Also, does she have a suggestion for a holster?

She said she was comfortable with both recoil and noise.  Her first gun was a PPK/S in .380 and she much prefers the PX4.  Unfortunately she doesn't carry it as often as I'd like and it is usual just in a cheap pocket holster in her purse.
