Has many good features that justify price. My XDM was my first XD pistol. I liked it so much I just bough a XD 45acp Compact about a 2 weeks ago.

Got a call today that the XDM 9mm I ordered is in. Will pick it up tomorrow. This is a picture of the .40 S&W. My 9mm is the same color.

I have shot many different brands and weights of ammo through my XD .45 and have had not had any problems with any yet.

Sounds like an Urban Legend to me, and I'm considered a Glock hater. lol

There has been a lot of controversy about Blazer aluminum cased ammo. I have seen 357 mag ammo cut through the topstrap of properly adjusted revolvers. I have also seen it wear grooves in the breachface of glock autos. Presumably aluminun oxides are formed when firing the stuff getting behind the cases as they are extracted. Glock nor Blount Holdingds will admitt nothing.

I've got a Glock and SA Sub-compact 9mm and hands down I like the SA much better. The look, feel, trigger pull, grips, ease of take-down, like it all over the Glock. I'll probably look hard at the XDM next, in 45 ACP. It's all a matter of choice, what a country!
