Awesome! I really want one. Was looking into the XDM 45 but when I got my wife her glock 26 yesterday I just gotta get one now!iGlock said:There is no ge4 g30 only 2.5gen n 3rdgen...i have the gen3 no sf, its my CC. Its great small .45 with 10/13 rnd mags. I love it.
The g30 is a bit bigger than the g26 but its smaller than the g21. The xdm 45 is a great gun too. Wish they made a smaller virsion then the compact.LaiePoi said:Awesome! I really want one. Was looking into the XDM 45 but when I got my wife her glock 26 yesterday I just gotta get one now!
Yea the grip safty is a little too much. But thats just me.nukinfuts29 said:The problem with the XD's is safety's. Though I guess that is everyone but Glock.
And the grip safety is the stupidest idea ever.
Yes, I watched a comparison vid by hicock45 on YouTube. Great vid. Barrel is wider on the g30 than the g26/XDM 45 compact. Wouldn't bother me tho. It prob helps with recoil management too. One thing that makes me lean more towards the g30 over the XDM compact is the fact that there is a glockmeister store about 20 mins from me so I could easily go there and get anything fixed or add ons installed (free!) whereas I may have to either send an XDM into Springfield or pay a gunsmith to help with any problems/installs. Glocks are so much more customizable and have way more after market products available for it. I'm sure I wouldn't be disappointed either way as the both a fine weapons from the research I've done.iGlock said:The g30 is a bit bigger than the g26 but its smaller than the g21.

I have the xdm 9mm and the grip safety doesn't bother me at all, tho I do see your point here.nukinfuts29 said:The problem is that the grip safety's design works on the assumption that every real life scenario afford you an adequate grip to fire the weapon. We all know that this isn't Hollywood and that combat situations aren't always pretty.
They are actually coming out with a smaller version of the XDM compact for CC purposes.

Pretty sweet, but its more like the g36.LaiePoi said:They are actually coming out with a smaller version of the XDM compact for CC purposes. Here's the link http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/springfield-armory-xds/
At the range it is all well and fine for the most part. When the xdm first hit the market my old boss (good friend) and two coworkers sold their glocks and bought one. To be fair to the boss he has a lot of Glocks, I wasn't annoyed by his treason.I have the xdm 9mm and the grip safety doesn't bother me at all, tho I do see your point here.
Interesting. So did you attribute the 3 FTF to the grip safety or the gun in general?nukinfuts29 said:At the range it is all well and fine for the most part.

Anyway there was plenty of times at the range and during classes that they would have FTF issues due to the grip safety. Some of it was shooter error like limp wristing or weak grip, but some of it wasn't.
I put about 300 rounds through my boss's xdm and counted 3 FTF's that had nothing to do with me. IMO 3 FTF out of 3,000 would be 3 too many.
The idiot coworker still has his, the retard coworker with some common sense now has a XD Custom .40S&W (I don't like safetys, but I won't knock that gun she is SMOOOOOTH) and the boss is back to Glocks.
The safety, and I'm not basing this on anything more then personal experience, but the FTF were a failure of the trigger to engage with all other safetys off. I never had any issues with the others in the XD lineup.LaiePoi said:Interesting. So did you attribute the 3 FTF to the grip safety or the gun in general?
