Hello. I like comments from Wee Hooker and Wishbone. I am a big fan of 9 compacts...9C models. Ability to use full size 17 shot mags is a plus. HOWEVER, note that you must modify any 9C to take off the ambi-safety in order to install/use Crimson Trace grip lasers!! Others may comment, but I found out after getting the 9C with ambi-safety that the Crimson Trace grip laser would not install because the safety was in the way. Regards, Ed
