I have a SR9C and it is my every day carry gun. they are very decent but not the best. in the $400 spectrum they are unbeatable. they do require a little bit of a break-in which is not necessarily a bad thing but for a new shooter can create some issues. I recommend you try one before you buy one. I would also recommend a full sized for a first time gun buyer unless you are 100% certain that you will begin carrying concealed. compact handguns are more difficult to master even for people with lots of handgun experience, it is not impossible to learn on a compact but it will be more difficult.
