Which 9MM?

[308skinner]

I looking at getting a 9MM. I have shot the XDM it feels ok but he had the bigger grip on it. I was also looking at a Taurus 92AF. Im not a big fan of Glock at all. What is everyones thought on the XDM?

If you don't like the XDM maybe try a regualr XD.

I also agree with this. I shot an M&P45 and loved it. I wish I could have one of everything.

They look and feel a lot different to me. I'm sure they both shoot well. I prefer the grip of the regular xd.

Does the XD come with all the goodies that the XDM comes with?

 

[robbran144]

They all come with the same plastic junk in them

Holster, mag holster, loader.

Have you considered teh M&P? Like a friend told me..."you owe it to yourself to take a look at them."

Im talking bout the 2 mags. I would just throw the holsters in the trash anyway.

 

[308skinner]

9mm justs makes them mad, go with a .45!

 

[308skinner]

Just looking to learn to shoot a pistol. Aslo to plink around with. Then i may get a 45ACP for a carry gun.

Take a look also at the CZ 85 Combat.

I'm down to a choice between the Beretta 92FS and the CZ for my next 9mm.

 

[308jake]

What about FN P9? Reliable, affordable and shoots great.

 

[308skinner]

Never really messed around with a CZ or a FN. Ill check them out as well.

I have a M&P and a XD. I like the XD better. But it's just a opinion on what feels better so you really need to go and fondle them both for yourself.

Well, you know you don't like the Glock, so here's a starter list for you to try. They are all very fine functioning firearms, all plenty accurate, durable, and reliable. The differences will be subjective and financial. You seem to be looking for a full sized firearm, so I'll list some of those, in no particular order.

Springfield Armory XDm
Springfield Armory XD
Ruger SR9
Smith & Wesson M&P9
Beretta 92FS
Beretta PX4 Storm
Taurus PT92
Taurus PT99
Browning Hi-Power
CZ75
Smith & Wesson 5906/5904 (used)
1911 in 9mm (several manufacturers)
Stoeger Cougar, or a used Beretta version of the same gun if you can find one used
Sig P226

If you are going to carry a .45, might as well start with one. There's no reason to if you like the 9mm. It's a very effective defensive round with proper ammunition, and costs almost half as much to shoot as the .45.
