Just yesterday I used my 40c in an IDPA match. Probably shot 100 rounds. I find the 40c easy to control and not real snappy like a TI/SC revolver. The full size is easier to shoot but I felt like shooting the gun I have been carrying the most lately.
I have a full size M&P 45 also and it shoots easier than my 1911s as far as recoil goes. For race gunning the 1911 is faster, but I will not choose a 1911 over an M&P to carry anymore.
I don’t have a 45c so I can’t say but if it shoots like the 40c you will like it.
