Default I have a Big Problem
I have a a problem first I wanted to buy a Colt 1911 .45 but I already have a .45. An XDM .45 which I love. I went to my gun shop yesterday and I was looking around and I need a gun where I can shoot more because as we all know 45 Caliber Ammo is not cheap. So I have a little dilemma. I looked at the Glock 19 Gen 4 sweet gun and I also like the M&P9 and the M&P 9 pro. Now since I have an XDM and I like Springfield maybe I should get an XD9. All these guns to choose from. Should even get a 9mm some people say get a .40 its not much more for the ammo.

For cheap ammo 9mm is the only way to go.

No I will wait to get a 1911. I believe a 1911 should be a .45

Why? That's just silly talk!

On second thought, buy the Glock so there's one less out there for us to see in the shops.

Instead of a new gun, buy a reloading setup with some .45 dies.
Ammo cost issue sorted.

I personally would stay away from the XD or XDM until they solve the problem of the breaking striker retaining roll pin. It this is just a range toy OK, but this is not a handgun I would bet my life on. If the pin breaks the gun will not fire. Houston Police have removed these guns from service.

I haven't had any problems. It shoots great.
