The Box was supposedly drawn around the Glock 19, so anything in that size range will do.

The box is actually considerably larger than that.
A full-sized Commander will fit, if you use flush-fit mags and G.I. sights; most people would not consider that a compact gun.
I bought a S&W model 539 to use in CCP, based on the original box dimensions, and the "four inch barrel" was actually 4.12", which was slightly too long.
The revised box resulted in the barrel length being OK, but the height was then a little too much. The rare, fixed-sight version might be just right.
In 1911 terms, you want a Commander-length barrel and compact-length frame, which leaves enough room for bigger sights, a magwell funnel and magazine basepads.
