This is a deviation from my typical choice of 1911 style .45 acp's. I don't plan on using this for my EDC at this time, but one never knows. I do like the higher capacity of the XDM and have heard a lot of good reports on the XDMs and XDSs. The main reason I purchased it was to have something a little less expensive in the vehicle during the week just in case my vehicle is ever broken in to while I am away at work. Really looking forward to shooting it!.
