I've been looking around at pistols recently for a conceal carry weapon as well as some security work I do in FL.
I've been looking for a pistol in .40 S&W because I can't afford the P229 that I used to use. After trying out the M&P40, P226, Glock 23, and some other Glocks, FNs, H&Ks, and Sigs in a variety of different calibers (I've got a friend who has a passion for firearms and deep pockets) I tried out the Springfield XDM 4.5" in .40 S&W. It was a good size for me compared to some of the compact pistols I used and its in my price range. It felt the best of all of the pistols I tried out this morning so my sights are set on getting one in a few months after I take a trip out of town.
I've looked for some reviews and they seem very positive and the only person I know who carries one is an insane SFC who I would prefer to avoid asking for weapons tips. Before I make what could easily be an expensive mistake on the XDM though I wanted to see if anyone here has any positive or negative experiences on this pistol. If you've got a negative experience on this definitely let me know, I haven't seen any so far and that makes me a little worried that someone forgot to mention something.
Would greatly appreciate any assistance on this or if you've got an idea of another pistol worth trying out let me know. (Sorry if this question was asked before, did a quick search and found nothing on here.)
