I kind of like the long grip on those. I think they feel really nice.
it was funny, the day I bought my service, the guy at sportsmans said he had some xdm's in the back. I hadnt heard about them yet and when i asked he told me the M was for "manual safety" so i didnt even look at one. hehe. kind of wish I did but I am really happy with my gun so im not to worried.
