I also have the Compact 9mm... absolutely love this firearm, so much so that I'm likely going to pick up the full size for home/truck. I use the large palm swell and it just molds into my hand. Great acquisition on draw for me. Shoots dead nuts accurate (even when I don't) and has a natural tendency to want to return to target, no twist. It's a little bulkier than other compacts in its class, but I'll take an occasional print and 13/17 rounds over a less than occasional print and 7/8 rounds any day. I also paid $339 for mine at GaG and would have paid more now having had it for a while.

As far as the 45acp, the only issue I have heard of is the guide rod spring popping over the end of the guide rod cap during field stripping. That being said, others have just placed a call to Ruger and had a new one sent out, problem solved.

I'd say go for it.
