I will say, a compact 9mm 1911 is an incredibly easy shooting handgun...if it’s a steel frame, it’s like shooting a .380.

CZ Rami is a nice shooting compact, so is the G43, the Shield isn’t all that bad either, specially if it’s the new 2.0 with the better trigger and the new textured grip area.

Definitely agree; the Performance Center Shields, with their porting, are incredibly smooth; you don’t realize how much porting can make a difference until you run it on a small pistol.
The HK USP Compact, P2000/P2000sk, VP9SK, and P30SK are also smooth as silk. The USP-C is an incredibly light recoiling in .40; makes G23’s or XDM compacts look like a lot heaveoer-caliber pistol.
And the G43X would be my pick of the Shield/Hellcat/P365 group.

Never shot the Sig 365, not a big Sig fan here, but lots of people swear by it, I only owned one H&K, that was several years ago, but it was a full size USP in .40cal, liked it, but as usual, brother ended up with it.

I got several of them listed here. All the S&W PC shields (9,40,45), G43, Hellcat, CZ 2075 Rami BD, H&K VP9SK, Sig P365, SA XDs,XDe & XDMod.2 all in 45 (w/ 3.3 bbl). I don't have the G43X, but did just buy the Sig P365XL and FN 509 Compact, that might fall into the same category. Heck, even my S&W 2.0 compacts (3.6" bbl), in 9 and 40 probably fit the bill along with my Sig P320 Sub Compacts in 9, 40 and 357 Sig. And I shouldn't forget my Baby Glocks (G26,27,G29). I'm probably forgetting a few, it's tough getting old
