Damn you Springfield, why do you do this to me? I had just made up my mind to get the XD sub-compact 9mm bi-tone as an addition to my carry gun collection, then you do this to me. 
I now want the XDM sub-compact bi-tone but I worry Springfield will add a .45 to this line then I will be pissed I didn't wait. |

I went to the local gun shop today and finger fucked on of these bad boys. They do look sweet and feel great in the hand. I never checked the weight but it felt a little front heavy, we loaded up the short mag (13 rounds, I think) and the balance was great. My typical carry gun has been a Kahr CW.40 for over a year and if (I mean when) I purchase the XDM sub-compact it may take me a little while to adjust to the added weight. Although the extra rounds would be great piece of mind. I wanted to check out the XDM in .40 but there was not one available. My wife has bought me a gun for Christmas every year for the last 4 years but because I now make considerably less money at work than years past, that will not happen this year. If it did, one of these would be under the tree for sure.

I have a XD 40 full size in OD Green and an XDM 9 full size all black, but I also want a sub-compact bi-tone. I have never sold a gun to finance another purchase and dont want to start now. I will just save for it and hpoefully by then Springfield will have a compact XDM .45 bi-tone.

Where is the Shorter and Weaker version??? You know, I've often wondered why the "cool" guys say that, given that the .40 S&W in general has more velocity and energy than your average .45 ACP. I guess the "cool" guys refer to the .45 as the "Slowest & Weakest"?

If they do make a Shorter and Weaker version I will serious consider trading my XD-40's up to XDm-40's if I can have both a full size for competition and a sub-compact for carry. |

I guess the "cool" guys refer to the .45 as the "Slowest & Weakest"? That nickname refers solely to the fact that the .40 is a "shorter and (sometimes) weaker" 10mm. |

Holy crap, I don't know how I missed this! I've been too focused on building my SBR that I haven't looked at handguns in a while. This looks to be the perfect gun! I love my XD9 service but picked up an M&P9c for ccw since it's right between a G26 and G19 in size. This is similar size to my M&P9c but has +1 round and comes with a mag extension.
Off to find a local shop with one of these this week... then to the cheapest online dealer to buy
