Just started shooting and bought a used bi-tone XDM 9mm 4.5. I am thinking of adding some sort of red dot sight, or something similar.

Any suggestions as to what might be a good choice and will also fit?

Just doing range targets (steel and paper) and action shooting.

Can't give you advice on optics but welcome to the forum!

An alternative approach, that works well, and is closer to the bore.
You can get a mount that replaces the rear sight, or have the slide machined, as illustrated.


DocterUSA, Burris Fastfire2, or Leupold Deltapoint

AZXD I would like to try a setup like yours. I friend of mine that I shoot Steel Challenge with had a simular setup on his Glock. It failed one weekend, so I'm a little nervous doing a slide mount. It does look like a lot of folks are using that setup, so it must work.

it and others you can have teh slide milled to lower down the optic if you so choose
