This is my first post on here. I just received my FIC and 2 permits. I will be going to rent a few guns soon enough to try them out. I am interested particularly in the Springfield XDm and was wondering if anyone can provide feedback. Thanks and I hope to be a regular on here!

Welcome!

 

My buddy has an XDm 9mm, and he loves it. It's a great value (comes with holster, mag pouches and 2 mags), and he likes the way it shoots. It's got a grip safety and a loaded chamber indicator, which is great. Based on a Glock, but with some updated/additional features.

I like the Springfield XD in .45. Wasn't a big fan of the XD9. I'd head over to Shore Shot and try out the stuff on their rental board, if you're close. If not, then head out to one of our range meetups.

I got one a few weeks ago. Love it! Feels great, comfortable, good weight. The trigger is very smooth and feels very light. I've only had it out once but I did well, just going a bit left for some reason. Probably me, I'm out of practice. However, there has been problems with the factor sighting. I read about it on another forum. If you have the issue, call SA, they ship you a box, you send it in and they fix it. The CS has gotten great reviews as far as this issue is concerned. Also, 19 round mags so you have to have them permanently blocked. I got mine from Arms and Ammo via price request. Great transaction, competitive price. I may go shooting this Sunday, not sure. If you are interested or can drop by the range at that time you can shoot it. If so drop me a PM.

I bought a G19 a couple of months ago and will be headed to Shore Shot on Saturday AM to try out their G20 and G21 for the next purchase.

I've got an XDM 40, and a CZ 75 in 9. They are very different in look and feel, but are wonderful in their own ways. They're both keepers.

The best thing to do is hold and try various guns. Go down to Shore Shot and rent a few. You may be surprised in what you choose. I think I shot an XDm Compact. It was OK, but I like my Walther PPS the best out of the plastic pistols I have shot. The PPS doesn't have the round capacity as the XDm because it's single stack mag, but I love shooting it in 9mm. It's just an awesome shooting gun to me.

What's your general location John?? Sometimes rental guns aren't treated so well that you can get an accurate representation of what a gun is really like. If you're up my way you're welcome to meet me at the range to try out what I've got.

Thank you all for the info. I live in Hazlet and hope to get to a range soon. Much appreciated

ahh - You're closer to the central guys that frequent Shore Shot.

Shore Shot would be the place to go to check out and fire a few of the gun in the caliber you are looking at and don't forget to mention you are part of the NJ Gun Forum and you get a nice discount on the rental and other things there.
