Nice choice. the first handgun I ever owned that was really in my name. It's funny I won mine from Impact Guns, was always really interested in them. Never would of bought one. I never liked the 40s&w cartridge but out of this gun it's become my favorite. That lower left seems to be a common problem. I think it has something to do with the grip texturing or something of that nature. I shot low left when I started with it so did my step dad, my best friend, my grandfather, my little brother....I can go one around 12 people have fired my XDm. once you get used to the gun you won't shoot low and left though you seem to be doing better than I did. I still shoot a little low and left at 25 yards if I get over confident. 300 rounds and still not one failure. The only thing i changed was having a captive recoil spring put together and that just makes re-assembly a little easier.
Lots of luck with your new pistol
