You can take the M&P 9mm Compact and with a Xgrip adapter use 17rd mags in it and the grip feels great...for me it's got a superb natural point of aim.I carry mine with a 12rd mag, 1 in the chamber and a 17rd mag reload....
Or the full sized M&P series, again I've got a 9mm one & love it, for a full sized pistol I can conceal it 16+ hours is a quality holster and not have any problems & that's with one 17rd off side mag reload...for a total of 35rds of 9mm
Or go with a 3rd generation G19, they are not a real compact (the G17 is the full sized one) & actually bigger than the M&P 9c......
I really want a M&P 45 compact....but just can't afford it now....
You can find either a good Glock 19 or if you look around a NIB M&P for $500 or less....I've seen the G19 NIB for $517 and the M&P 9c NIB for $488, and a full sized M&P 9mm for $480 so it boils down to what your gun shops are charging....if you look at places like Sportsman Wharehouse ya can find em cheaper or on sale at Cabela's & such, just have to shop around...
Best thing to do is find a gunshop that rents guns & has a range, go and rent one of each & a box of ammo, see what fits your hands better & what you shoot better...
We have a range about 50 min away, $16 for a hour on a lane & then the price of the rental pistol and you must buy their ammo....but in the long run it's cheap to find out what you really like and shoot well.....

i was actually looking into this same gun. At sportmans warehouse it was like 600 with the extra mag holder quick loader, holster, 2 clips, and medium and large grips. i have talked to the guys at sportsmans and they said it was a good gun. most of the guys that work the gun counter there are avid gun owners and knowledgable on them as well.
