I am pretty new to handguns, but think now is a good time to get into it. I have fired a few friends pistols, (Glock 9mm, and Ruger 9mm). Didn't care for the feel of the Glock, the Ruger wasn't bad but have read bad reviews about them.
The two that I am most considering from reading are the SA XDM and the S&W M&P in a .40 Cal. My local firearm dealer has a range that they rent guns at but don't rent the XDM. They do however rent an XD. My question to you is, if I like the feel of the XD over that of the M&P, would that also be the same for the XDM?
If you are wondering why I don't just go for the XD, I like the idea of interchangable backstraps, and I don't like looking back and wishing I had gotten the better gun when I had the chance. I don't plan on owning a large collection of guns.
Thanks for your input.
