Thinking about...
 

...buying an XDM. Somebody talk me out of it!

I shot one a couple of weeks ago, didn't like it. sights were way, way, way off and it felt like I was shooting a GI Joe's gun.

Had an XD .45 for awhile but it didn't last long. For plastic guns I'll stick to M&P's.
For Metal 1911's and CZ's

I had one when they first came out way back when. It was a .40....Hated it, didn't like in my hand.....

just my opinion though but I would not get another one after that one. I would get a second glock first....

They are good pistols but, too blocky and awkward for me. I vote M&P Pro or CZ.

Safety trigger just like the Block.. 'Nuff said...

I third the CZ's

But the Xd's are great guns.

I shot the same one Zane did, I hated it, thought it was a POS. I don't think I could have shot myself in the foot with it if I tried.

Thanks! You've talked me out of it. Another 1911 it is.

LOL...I see your budget has some serious leeway!

There you go. RIA has some interesting variations.
