All I need is the right weapon for it.
I have trouble with most compacts due to the size of my meat mashers. I am NOT one you want an over 40 physical from 
I'm making the gun store rounds right now and pestering the bubbas behind the counters with the whole "can I hold this one, OK...how about THAT one" bit. But hey...my coin, my (and my families) protection. I'll gam over ALL of them if I have to

The HK P2000 is comfortable to most folks, and is available in compact and subcompact, it may be worth considering. There are a number of "Pre Owned" SIG pistols coming on the market now from LEO trade ins, they are not bad at all if they fit your hand. For your purposes, I recommend looking at a P229,
P239, and a P245. Kahr makes some very nice, very compact single stack carry pistols in their polymer framed guns. Their steel frames feel good and shoot well, but get heavy in a hurry for their limited mag capacity. Also, CZ is bringing in a CZ75 compact in .40 that may be worth looking at. In my experience, the CZ pistols are quite comfortable, very reliable, very accurate, and relatively inexpensive at the expense of being heavy (Full steel frame)
These are the first brands that come to my mind as things to look at.
Once again, YMMV, as none of my weapons have seen shots fired in anger, but I do spend nearly every weekend discussing the realtive merits of one pistol versus the other and I get to handle a ton of them regularly.
HTH
Good times,
