I've read good things in the past about the SR9, but not much about the new compact version. How does it stack up in both size and quality to similar compact pistols? Is it more like a PPS, or more like a PM9?
Ruger SR9c

I think this video tells you what you need to know and Hickok45 is a Glock guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT1q1C_PnIY I really want one - it is as reliable as a gun gets and is a very good deal for the $$$
I have had mine for a few months and really like it. It is accurate and reliable. It is a little bigger than some compacts(3.5" barrel), but it conceals well and feels good in my hand. It is a nice little pistol, and with the extended mag it feels very much like the SR9.

The Sr9c can be better compared to the Glock 26 or 36 in size. The SR9c seems to have a slight concealing advantage due to a thinner slide and grip. Sr9c is heaver though. Quality is very good to excellent. I really like mine and use it as my daily carry.
i shot my friends and its sweet!! on par with glock as far as accuracy and a bit smaller for ccw. runs all ammo well and for me has the all important manual safety. ergonomcs are good for me as a bit of a suprise. i have rather large hands and the 10 rd clip with pinky ext is perfect. i only used the 17rd clip for the range just so i didnt have to stop shooting. the extension that comes with the 17rd clip gives you the exact grip as the big brother without the barrel length.

I carry one every day and am very pleased with it. Over 1000 rounds through it. Reliable, shoots great, conceals very well. It's marginally bigger than a G26. Almost identical to an M&P9C, but a tad slimmer.

Love it!
I will agree that it is slightly bigger than the Glock 26 that I had but it feels 10 times better in my hand and I shoot it much better than the Glock. Still transitioning to the manual safety but it is becoming more natural. With the grip spacer its like having 2 guns in one a compact and a full size. Much crisper trigger than my old glock.

Yeah, the grip is slimmer and feels way better to me than the G26 as well. I couldn't get used to the curve of the stubby glock grip, but I can comfortably grip the SR9c without the finger extension.
I've got extensive time with my wife's gun.
Of note:
The polymer doesn't feel any "cheaper" than any other plastic. I'm not even sure what that means or how to judge it though.
The thumb safety on my wife's gun is very positive and I have no issues hitting it instictually. Even if as a general rule I don't like thumb safeties on anything that isn't pure single action.
It's thinner in the hand and carrying than the specs will tell you. It feels alot thinner than the Glocks, M&P's, and other double stacks. For me, it feels like a pretty big difference. Very easy to carry.
My opinion is that it's as good a firearm as any. It's accurate and reliable, manufactured by a classic and reputable American company. An excellent value.
For me, it's a little smaller than I like for a gun. If they would have just made it a little bigger, G19(ish) it would have been an excellent option for my money. As is, the wife loves hers and I would recommend it.
