I bought a Compact Sig P320 in 45 with Night sights in December - great pistol, 9+1 capacity, similar dimensions to my Glock 19 (slightly bigger) - 10+1 if you buy the Full size but that's a big boy.

 

If you are looking at Full size I would highly recommend Walther PPQ 45 for the 12+1 - its similarly sized to the P320 45 (Full)

 

My .02 - I love my PPQ 9mm and probably will get the 45 too in the future.

[MartyZ 692]

I was originally leaning towards the PPQ45, only because there is no VP45 on the horizon, I already have a VP9 and I love it. Without question the PPQ quality is top of the line, but I compared to other high quality striker .45, in my view, it's only outstanding feature is the trigger, which is not a deal maker for me. So I started looking at other thinks such a cost of ownership, sights, etc. And honestly the XDm 5.25" won out. It has a longer sight radius, fiber front sights and adjustable rear sights. All the online reviews i've seen are positive, and the magazines are $25 instead of $45. Plus it comes with 3 magazines and SA has a rebate offer for 4 more free magazines. So it was either all of that for the XDm or the better trigger of the PPQ. That is just my take on it. I will be ordering the XDm tomorrow, thanks everyone for your feedback.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Good choice Marty, although I think the XDm triggers are pretty good. But the PPQ triggers are very nice.

Just got one of these in as well.

[MartyZ 692]

Well, here she is. Thanks again to Steve at monmouth arms. Can't wait to get out to the range with my 2 new toys

 

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Don't forget about the Springfield Armory rebate sir, enjoy

[MartyZ 692]

That was the first thing I did when I got home, lol.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Marty, can you take a picture of the sights? My XDm came with 3 dot sights, those look different.

[MartyZ 692]

Sure, I'll do that tonight. They are basically fiber front, with 3 interchangeable colors in the box, and black rear adjustable sights.

How long did it take?

[YankeeSC 1,204]

I submitted it March 3, received a confirmation March 10, arrived March 29; so almost 4 weeks.

I see all the XDm guns now are coming with a fiber optic front sight. Mine did not. I can always swap it out.

I really love that XDM in Bi-Tone - Definitely going to handle one in store, the 45 3.8 would be what I'd be interested in, and with 4 additional magazines and 2 holsters promo wow -

That's a pretty good deal. With promo code LDD it comes out to $99.99 with free shipping

[Ray Ray 3,566]

I'm not sure you really need to swap out the trigger on the XDm lineup, but to each his own.

[MartyZ 692]

I will try it at the range before I swap anything out. But it's still a good deal.

[Ricky_Bobby 130]

This.  Trigger is very good out of the box on the XDM- Its not a PPQ but I don't see a need to change it - then again I also leave my Glock triggers stock.

[Pizza Bob 1,488]

Mine arrived Wednesday, now I have 7 mags!

 

Tom: Does that mean that you are now going to come out with us and shoot IDPA?

 

Marty:

 

Don't forget that external changes to the trigger are prohibited under IDPA rules - internal OK - just in case you were thinking of using this for IDPA.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

[YankeeSC 1,204]

Almost ready, the weather's getting better!

I'm definitely planning on using it for IDPA, but not until I get out to the range, adjust the sights, and practice with it a little. But technically I will be shooting CDP so I can have a trigger over travel stop. I definitely want to put on a springer magwell, the PRP extended grip safety, and the PRP SS guide rod. But these are all future upgrades.

How about Sunday at Guthsville? Sunny and 56 degrees.

[MartyZ 692]

Here you go ray

 

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Thanks Marty, that's the 5.25 gun. I mind as well complete the trifecta and get that model as well.

[Lucky Bullseye 3]

Im looking at getting a 45 myself when the next permits come in. Narrowed down to the PPQ 45 or the Sig P320

[MartyZ 692]

Got out to the range this morning. Straight out of the box, no cleaning, 300 rounds with reloads without a single hickup. The trigger is a bit iffy for my taste but i do have a prp drop in on the way. I think i found my new CDP gun.
