Good to hear you had a positive experience. Welcome
I really like this pistol!
I just bought this SA XDm 45 last week and had it to the range over the weekend. I had a chance to compare it with my S&W M&P 45 Mid size and so far, I like it at least as well. The M&P was just a wee bit more accurate at 50 ft (believe it or not) but the XDm was more comfortable to shoot. It swallowed everything from 230 FMJ to Golden Sabres, to 230 LRN and even 200 LSWC. Tough to call one a winner over the other as my M&P also eats anything as well.
I plan to use the M&P for my car gun and the XDm will serve night stand duty with the Streamlight TLR-3 tac light. I really like this combo as it provides the basic lighting I want (no laser or strobe) while it's extra light and doesn't protrude past the pistols muzzle. (stays cleaner that way).
I'd recommend this XDm any day.

Congrats and welcome to the XDm .45 ACP club!
Man, congratulations. That's a good looking pistol, wish I had one. Wait . . . I do.

Looks like we have the same taste in weapon/light combo. I got my XD45 before the XDM45 came out but I still refuse to sell it because even though it is not an XDM it is still a fine weapon.
My Iphone likes to invert photos for some reason. Sory I don't know how to fix it.

Very nice combo you have there. Is that Ranger T230 JHP only available for LEO, or can I buy it?Looks like we have the same taste in weapon/light combo. I got my XD45 before the XDM45 came out but I still refuse to sell it because even though it is not an XDM it is still a fine weapon.
