My house was broken into a couple of weeks ago while the family and I were gone and my XDm 4.5" 9mm was stolen. Makes quite the strong argument for a bedside pistol safe, which I'm currently shopping for.
I'm now trying to decide whether to replace it with another XDm 9mm (still have 4 spare 19rd mags, case, etc. They only took the gun and mag that was in it) or go a different route.
I'd originally bought the 4.5 XDm because I was interviewing for a couple of different law enforcement positions and wanted something to practice with that could also double as a duty gun if needed. I ended up taking a non-law enforcement position, so that's no longer a concern and I'm leaning more towards concealed carry.
I was extremely pleased with the XDm, but it was a significant investment that I'm not sure I can afford to repeat right now. I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for", but I'm honestly not sure how to proceed at this point and was hoping that I might find some insight here.
Thanks,
