Got the XDM 9MM 4.5 yesterday and went to the range today - WOW - I have been shooting and carrying a M&P .40 for quite a while and loved it but this sidearm is in a different league. I also like the 9 instead of the .40. I thought of going back to the .45 but I am getting too old for the heat so I went "down" to the 9. I shot strong and weak hand and was able to control the follow up shot(s). I shot five different types and weights of ammo and the gun behaved perfectly. Tried a few shots using a bench rest to see where it shoots and it is a very accurate weapon.

Congrats and welcome aboard. Do keep us up to date on how you compare the XDm and the M&P.

Welcome! and yes the XDM 4.5 9mm is an awesome shooter! I absolutely LOVE MINE! It's my main shooter.
I'm trying to hold out for the XDs (slim) 9mm for summer carry... and SA can't release one soon enough for me.

I had much the same experience. I "inherited an XD(M) 4.5 for Christmas from my wife who just didn't like the feel of it as well as she did the XD Service, so I took it to the range with a few boxes of PMC Bronze and a box of Walmart WhiteBox 9mm. loaded a couple of mags up, picked up the firearm and sighted in on the 15yd target. Fired the weapon, hit the exact spot I was aiming at, looked at the rangemaster next to me, said "I'm done." and laughed at his expression.

I did shoot it a bunch more, but it is a very finely balanced firearm. I'm liking it a whole bunch. Fed everything it's been loaded up with, from WWB to powerball.

Welcome! I have that exact gun. No question about it, it's a tack driver.

Welcome from SC and congratulations on your purchase. Yeah I love my 9mm and it is incredibility accurate esp when you compare it to the snappiness of 40. I shoot all 3 of my M's well but I really like the 9mm and esp. the 45. Something about the 45ACP round that I just love.
