I have been a glock fan for over a decade. But
I've been very intrigued by the new Springfield XDM's. To my surprise a
local shop had one in stock today at a decent price. After some sweet
talking to the boss, the new XDM9 came home with me. It will take some
getting used to, but I believe I will like it. I put about a 100 rounds
through it today and got better by the last mag or so. I just missed
the promo to get 2 free magazines and a mag holder. Anyone know if
there are some good night sights out for it yet and also what would be
a good IWB holster?

Is it a full size pistol or a compact?

I currently have a Glock 19 (Compact) and wonder should I switch...

19+1 round capacity is

Have you handled one? It fits your hand like a glove, perfect. It doesn't feel akward. Your right, don't switch you probably won't go back to the glock if you do .

Definitely don't switch if that is your carry gun.  It is more along the lines of the G17 size.  
The fobus style holster that came with it, is not very good for concealment.  I am searching for a good IWB holster so that I can try to carry it at least during cold months.

I have the XDM 40 and carry it daily with a Crossbreed Supertuck holster.  It was 65.00 but well worth every penny.

I carried a G27 for three years and it was a good gun.  I just prefer the XD's especially the XDM.

I shot a co-worker's xdm40, and it was nice.  My muscle memory is with my 19 though.  I won't argue that it is a fantastic weapon though.

Congrats!!!
