I wanted to hate the P320, given it defeated the G19 for the MHS competition but I handled one and had to find out what the hype is about. I have carried Glocks personally since 1989 and professionally since 1990. I have ALWAYS had a G19 on hand no matter what our issued sidearm was. I did once possess a P228 and liked its handling characteristics but not DA/SA.

Fast forward to the present and I own a P320 .45 Carry...and love it. The feel of the P228 with the action of the Glocks I have thousands of hours on. I get it.

That all being said does anyone have any experience with the difference in feel and handling between small and medium grip modules. The medium feels great but am looking to get a compact module and smalls are the only ones available...or it that self answering?

You say the medium feels great, so you may be disappointed in the small.  The small grip width is basically the same as the thumb indent area on the medium.  Picture a straight edge down equivalent to the indent.  Definitely much thinner feel to the small.

The small module also has more of an inward curve for the web of your hand. The medium was ok for me, but I love the small. But I have little girly hands, so...

This is for a P250, but you get the idea. Notice how the backstrap has more of an inward rake.

I liked the small well enough I am tempted to hog the daylights out of my leftover medium grip to get it to "small" size but with a more aggressive beavertail and trigger guard.

The 45 modules are pretty easy to find and often on sale.

The smaller modules,(for the lack of a better comparison), are the same diameter as the Glock frame. I had a 320 9mm and bought a compact-small grip module and the difference was night and day compared to the medium. It is a little thinner but for me it was worth it.

I liked the medium but it is too big for me.  Every 320 I see in the fun shop, I see if there is a small grip to try.  Haven't found one yet.

Same here, 
 The small grip reminds me of my Glock.

I would like to find a small 45 Carry, not compact, but I don't believe they exist.

Look for a subcompact, they come with a small grip module. If you are looking for one of the larger variants check the used sections because everything larger than the sun comes with a medium module.
