Everything I currently own is a compact, I'd like to get something full size to really start learning the proper mechanics of shooting.
I've sold off all my Glocks, I wanted to move away from .40 and focus on 45acp and 9mm mostly.
I have several Xd's, but the largest frame that I have is the 4". I shot in a defensive class last weekend for the first time and really enjoyed it. Enough that I'd like to start learning more, and start shooting in IDPA type events.
My issue with the 4" XD was the take down lever was right where my left thumb lays. Every time I fired, the lever rubbed my thumb until it was very uncomfortable to shoot with the proper grip.
So here is my question, do I buy a Glock 34, or should I try a XDM 5.25 competition model?
Moving to the Glock 34 eliminates the take down lever problem completely. The XDM has a modified take down lever, more beveled which might be more comfortable to handle.
Any thoughts for a future IDPA noob?
