My first ever handgun that i bought was a XDM9(along with my kimber 1911 45). I love that gun (xd) smooth as glass dead on accurate put 200 rounds thru it without cleaning and shows little to no sign of wear. i love the way it feels in my hands simple to strip and clean light where it needs to be. Gotta support American companies. my one and only complain is that it seems much louder then my 45 i dont know if anyone else thinks the same but its a higher pitch metallic sound to it. i dunno maybe im crazy but i do love my xd. Plus 19+1 just incase you have bad aim...
