If you have small hands then the XDM version is worth the extra cost x10. If you have average size hands or larger then maybe not.
I don't know how many ways I can think of to say that I don't have a problem with the XD's.
...it sure seems like most of the people who claim the XD is just as good are people who bought them before the XDm came out
Better check out your gunsmith before letting him have a go at it-there are some real hacks out there, and with the degree of difficulty being what it is with XD sights...It will go to a gunsmith for the install.
I don't understand the appeal of "match barrel" on a service gun. I want a looser chamber for reliability.
I think most of us recognize the "match barrel" label is more about hype than reality.
Yeah, my XDSC40 is pre-Melonite also, but my later XDSC9 has the newer finish.I picked up one of the original XD9sc. It still has the original rust prone finish.
When I took my CHP class years ago, the first few shots were from a sandbag-I'd never shot a 40 before, and never a semi-auto with as short a barrel as my XDSC. First shot was a little low, but dead center AFA windage.I can't notice much difference in accuracy, but I've never shot from a bag to test it
Hey Marshall...pay no never mind to Jeff56.Downgrade? You do realize we're talking about the differences between the regular XD and the XDm right?
