Shane45,
Carry comp guns are pretty cool and they hold up to hard use. I have one in a doulbe stack and another waiting to be built in a single stack. Yes they spit things out of the top, they have more muzzle flash, they are louder and are little more complicated to build and balance for reliability. It takes a bit of training and I suggest if you do this, shoot it at night to see, it isn't as bad as it seems, and you cant the muzzle slightly away from you when shooting from retention. You may never notice what you see in training when doing it for real with an adrenaline dump. but you still need to train with the particular piece of equipment.
With all that said, I also have several other guns in more traditional configurations of hard use guns. I think carry comps are cool, if you want one, build one. They aren't perfect, they aren't for everyone. but you can't have too many guns..especially 1911s.
