Depends on what you'd like to do with it, I suppose.
I prefer full-size myself, but if I were looking for compact, I'd go all the way to the 26.
I went with the 34 and have been happy with that for many, many years. Feels right in my hand, and I enjoy punching holes in paper with it.
Also CC it.

Forgot to add that whatever you get... PRACTICE!
As often as possible.

I think a 34 is my next one, I'm just waiting for my GSSF coupon. Maybe even a MOS version so I can game with it.
I was a major Glock guy from the early 90s through the late 00s when I switched camps to the M&P after a string of reliability problems with my 36. I'm back now, though - the 43 I decided to try last year works better for me with just a sight change than my modified Shields, and my new 41 is blowing me away.
I do want a 19, too but it's down the list. And I need to restrain myself from picking up a 39, the GAP has always interested me as a SD round. I do think I'm going to pass on a .40 this time around, though - my old 23 was great, but 9mm loadings are much improved now.
never found a glock I liked - owned a G20 10mm for awhile that was pretty cool - but overall, can't get used to their geometry and weird triggers. XD Mod2.0 here 
I love wheel guns. You don't leave brass at the scene.
Perfect answer. What do you want it for?
That being said, for a host of reasons I like the Springfield XD better anyway. I recently bought a S&W M&P Shield 40 and a friend got the XD. I like his gun better than mine all the way around.
Glock makes nice stuff but I'm not a fan of the look or feel. S&W Shield.
Or preferably, my old S&W Model 39. Best feel ever for my hand.
But a wheelgun works great.

I like them too. And I think Ruger makes outstanding revolvers. Not a huge fan of their semis, but their revolvers are top notch. And Dav, as a long-time investigator, I can tell you that you're absolutely correct about that! (You sick sonofa...)

Revolvers don't leave brass, but they do leave a lot more residue on the hands.
Bit of a training issue though if someone has never learnt (see what I did there?) to shoot one properly. They can be hell on the fingertips. Kids these days...
Although the Pythons out of the box had that nice, crisp trigger. I got close on my S&W, but it took some smithing.
My 629 Classic's previous owner was either a gunsmith or had a gunsmith who never heard of liability. The trigger is *very* light and breaks SA like a glass toothpick. Second best trigger on anything I own (Savage Model 11 has it edged out).
So, from the responses, I'm thinking the 19 would make a good CC unit.
For those who have first hand knowledge how would a 19 compare to a Sig 220?
I know they are diff calibers but as far as weight, slim profile, reliability, etc.
Just looking for a 9mm alternative to my 220.
