Howdy Sjach, welcome to the INGO forums!

Anyway if you've window shopped around and decided to buy the Springfield XDM well I think that's great! Springfields XDM's are an excellent choice!

Is this your first firearm? if so are you familiar with firearms & how to handle them safely? if not I'd probably recomind taking the NRA's basic firearms safety course (or maybe have relative or friend who can instruct you) to get you started on how to properly handle your new Springfield XDM.

If it makes you feel better, when it comes to combat tupperware, the XD is either #1 or #2 on my list. I have a hard time deciding between it and the Smith M&P.

We've owned both, but I still can't decide which I like better.

XD and XDm are fantastic guns. Who's list are you looking at?

I have one and would buy again.

I lurves my XD. I can't imagine why it wouldn't at least be in the top 10 on any list.

My XD9 was my favorite pistol for a long time....then I bought a G19! but either way, i don't see how it could be a bad decision/purchase.

The regular XD is a little shorter for concealed carry. If that is not part of the requirements, then go with the XDm. I have had the XD in .40 and 9mm. I chose it b/c I carry it regularly. (more safety features than Glock)

But, that being said, I am going to spend the $150 (sigh) and drop in the trigger upgrade stuff to make the 'trigger' an actual trigger, instead of a spray bottle. B/c that is what it feels like.

JUST DO IT!!

Czech out CZ anytime you're considering a 9MM.

XDm 9 is a great choice. I bought one myself for Christmas and am very pleased. Are you going to CC?? If so, you might look at the XD SC. The XDm will be tough to confortably conceal during the warm weather months. I just purchased a Kel Tec p11 for warm weather CC. The P11 wont break the bank. I would have purchased the XD SC but money is gettin tight.

The XDs would definitely be on my top 10 list for a defensive handgun.

Love my XD. Have had it for 3 months now and wouldn't trade it for anything. All about personal choice and what feels good in your hands.
