I don't really have anything compact, but that's been largely moot
because I've never simultaneously both possessed my own firearms and
lived in a state that'll allow me to carry'em.  When I carry at home,
the P14 is my carry gun.  It's what I'm used to, and the weight doesn't
bother me.

What do you shoot those 300-grainers in, anyway - a Ruger, a S&W, or a
Taurus?  Mine is a Ruger Super Blackhawk, and my favorite load for it
is actually 200gr JHP over 27.0gr of Hodgdon H110, which is good for
1850fps at the muzzle.  I'm a big believer in flat trajectories.  :)
(Not least because I'm a big believer in shot placement, and flat
trajectories aid shot placement.)

Yup, it's a P14 with the revised magazines, ambi safety, full-length
guide rod, and polished action and feed ramp.  I've looked at the P10
but never actually shot one...  I'd really like to try one sometime.
