As some of you may know, my dad was looking for a pistol. Well, today my family and I went to a gun show and not even 1 minute from when we stepped in the doors we saw it. A beautiful XDm in 9mm for $580, needless to say we got her.
Pros: The new XDm has a much more streamlined appearance and the curves of the gun flow, so it is more comfortable to carry. (for those of you who have handled XDs) The pistol fits like a tailor made glove with the new grips, interchangeable back straps, and the tried and true 1911 style grip angle. The XDm9 holds 19+1 rounds which means that you can carry 58 rounds on your person. But then again if you ever have to reload the XDm you've probably F***ed up BAD. But hey, when you're carrying an entire BOX of ammo on your hip your ready to deal with just about anything.
Cons: The new ambidextrous mag release is nice
Unsure: The XDm prevents the user from racking the slide unless the grip saftey is disengaged.
Range Report: N/A (Sorry, I'll let you know the next time I go shooting.)
