Hi gang.
Well, I did it. Bought that XDM-9 and I have to say that I'm really impressed. Shot about 200 rounds through it at the range the other day with no problems. It is easy to shoot well. The trigger is good, but I'm not super thrilled with it... maybe just because I'm so used to the single action triggers on my Kimbers. I read somewhere that it would lighten up eventually after a few thousand rounds? Still it's a sweet gun and a good value too. Very happy with the purchase.
Anyway, at the range I was shooting Point of Aim and this gun was dead on. That's weird because I read in a lot of places that these were set up for a 6 o'clock sight position, and that's what I expected. Which is it? I know this topic was discussed before on this forum, but maybe it deserves another thread.
The XDM manual says that these guns were set for Point of Aim at 25 yards. Does this mean that at distances less than 25 yards, 6 o'clock sight position can be used? Perhaps earlier XD's or XDM's were set up for 6 o'clock sight position, but this has changed with the 9mm version or with the XDM's in general (just a guess). Am I reading too much into this?:roll: Someone with the knowledge please set the record straight.
Thanks in advance for everyone's input!

BTW, I'm not calling anyone out or saying that anyone is wrong - just some good old fashioned curiosity!
And the manual, in convenient pdf format (check out page 34):
