Good man. By the time you've saved up the cash you'll find a nice used one from somebody who needed cash to pay off credit card debt!boro drift wrote:Well, my conscious got the best of me and I put all my bonus check on my credit card debt. I will just have to wait and budget to get my XDm.
Worth it to pay straight cash.boro drift wrote:AAhhrrgg! Doing the right thing is KILLING me. I want the XDm soooo bad! It's gonna be hard not to walk into the shop tomorrow and buy it. What should I do, Mr1der? Charlieo?
I'd never buy a S&W product. They've traditionally made **** (Sigma, anyone?), and their collaboration with Clinton during the Dark Ages is unforgivable.cmfireman wrote:I was going to start a new thread, but since we're talking about the XDm here, I have a few questions for the more knowledgeable.
I've been shopping the past few days and I'm between the XDm and the S&W M&P. I looked at a Glock 22, but didn't like the way it felt compared to the others.
This gun won't be my EDC (I'm looking into a smaller gun for that, maybe .38 or .32).
I can't decide on 9mm vs. .40 S&W. 9mm shells are a bit cheaper (about $4 per 50), you have a bit more capacity, and I'm not very concerned about knock down power vs. penetration if I have to use the weapon to defend myself.
XDm: Comes with nice case, holster, 2 clips, speed loader, and rebate for 2 more clips. Interchangeable backstraps16+1 in .40, 19+1 in 9mmDouble trigger and grip safetyVery comfortable$580
M&P:Comes with 2 clipsInterchangeable backstraps15+1 in .40, 17+1 in 9mmHinged trigger with a different feel (seems like it has a longer stroke)Clean design (IMO the XDm looks like a brick, not that it really matters)Like an extension of my hand (LOVE the way it feels)Made in U.S.A.$500
Which would you buy? Any other suggestions for around $650?
I love my PM-9. I'm a bit small to use it as pocket carry, but you probably could.Mr1der wrote:
I want one, but I can't justify buying it when I need a nice compact PD caliber pistol for carry.
