In all honesty, though, H/P's are fine plinkers and fun for that purpose, but you ought to think long and hard before trusting your life to one.
More to the point, the C9 does not fall into the "subcompact" category the OP was asking about. Some of the other suggestions may not, either, but the C9 is a big, heavy gun by anyone's definition (though maybe not in comparison to the JHP series Hi-Points).
