The SA XDm .45 is a large pistol albeit it is very accurate.

Way to go! I bought a .40 XD (no M) sub compact this past year and could not be more pleased with it. My previous experience with a striker fired, polymer pistol (rhymes with "block") was less than satisfying. After a great deal of research and trial, I decided to give the platform another shot and the XD has become my primary carry gun. This past Tuesday I used it to qualify for my HR-218 card, and shot my best round ever for that course.

I am a very happy camper, indeed!

We took them to the range on saturday. They did very well shoots better than I do but its my first pistol and there a little different than shooting long guns. I was grouping but down and to the left from the center of the target. Im pretty sure the sights are adjustable on the xdm please correct me if im wrong.
