M&P 45 Midsize vs. 45 compact

Has anyone shot BOTH the M&P45c and the M&P45 mid-size? They both have a 4" barrel, but the midsize has the full size grip. I am curious if any difference was noted. Thanks.

I own both. My hands are on the large side and I prefer the midsize MP45. The compact is fine with the magazine extension, without it my pinky hangs off the grip. With the extension in place there isn't much difference in grip length between the two.

That's good to know because my hands are "on the large side" as well. You say there "isn't much difference" when using the extended magazine; but is there any?
