We don't get nearly enough choices of semi-autos here in CA, so we have to deal with what gets offered. However, the DOJ did add a few to the list this year so I thought I would check a some out. Reviews on the XDM Elite always seem positive, especially with the upgraded trigger. I do have an older XD-45 and have no complaints.
The LGS rep is a total Glock person, but I just can't go that way right now. He likes to modify and upgrade, me not so much. Not crazy about the looks or feel but understand the takedown is very simple and they are very reliable. Also handled a Sig 320 but honestly liked the feel of the XD better plus I like the longer barrel- this would not be a carry gun, just a shooter.
Haven't shot any of the above but I usually never do before buying. Just go with how the sights look to me, the feel in the hand, the looks, and reliable reviews. I don't get easily disappointed but do enjoy some of my pistols more than others. Thinking the XDM will be a good choice.
