Hello.
New to the forum, and looking for a new carry gun as well.
I'm looking at the XDm 3.8 compact in 9mm.
I already own a 9mm so it would be nice not to have to buy 2 different calibers of hand gun ammo. Thou I am not dead set on the 9mm just yet.
I currently own a Beretta 90-Two 9mm (Not a 92, not the same gun) that I have don some work to and have put about 1,000 rounds threw so far. I love the gun but its a bit big for carry in the summer time. And rather heavy as well. So I think it will end up as more of a target gun then any thing.
I don't have a CPL yet ether. I wanted to buy a gun just for carry before I went and took the class.
I have looked at several guns and the XDm compact seams to be the gun that will best fit my needs. I really like the fact that I can have a compact gun but a full sized grip when I want. And the fact it will take full sized mags with a grip sleeve. Yet still be a compact when I need a smaller gun.
It will allow me to have 1 gun that I can tailor to my needs.
Is there any thing I should know about the gun before I buy one?
Any known problems?
Or any thing I should add to it or change when I get it?
Can it stand up to 1,000s of rounds of use without problems? (My cousin has a Beretta 92fs that he has put almost 30,000 rounds threw with no problems. Hes the one that recommended the XDm to me.)
I don't know much about the XDm other then what I have read on the net and in mags that I have bout.
This will also be my first time buying a composite gun.
I'm looking at getting the 2 tone version and will probably buy a few extra mags and a holster or 2 as well.
Thanks!
