Several months ago, I put ~40 rounds out of a friend's H&K USP .40 full-size, and loved it. Now I'm ready to make a purchase, but I see (almost) everyone in this forum has the Compact. How's the recoil/etc compare on the Compact vs Full-size? Does everyone get the Compact for CCW?

Get both!

I own both.  They're both good guns.  The full size does recoil less; enough that you can tell a difference.  Some people carry the full size, but it's too bulky for me to carry IWB.

The compact has a smaller grip, and I might even shoot it better because of the grip...though I seem to shoot the fullsize as well, I don't have quite the same level of confidence with it.  I suppose I haven't shot it in a while though.

i like the full size ones better myself....CCW a FS is not a big problem, just get a good holster/belt combo
