I bought a Springfield ultra compact many, many...many moons ago that runs great, and has never given me problems.

There used to be some timing issues, with the compact models, resulting in stoppages due to the fact that the shorter slides are more sensitive to load changes (round weight/type/powder load) and recoil spring weight selection. This problem has been thoroughly highlighted though, and largely addressed by both owners and manufacturers.

The only time I carry it, however, is when I'm riding, as I prefer a full size arm due to the fact that I find it easier to be accurate with at longer ranges. Granted, I may never NEED that extra range, but it's nice to have if I ever do.

Test fire a few and see how they fit your hand.

Luck.
