Word at the local shop is that they will make a single stack 9mm because that is the caliber they sell the most of….. I sure hope so!

Great review. I love my XDM 9mm and agree about the athe stature, not an ideal CC gun.

I heard Springfield has the new CD-S single stack 45 coming out. I am hoping they also come out with a single stack 9, seems like it might be a perfect carry weapon. Any insight?

Great gun, I carry the 9mm XDM, 3.8 daily and has not failed me once.
I don’t have some fancy list or a promise that I will do if it does ever fail me, I will just go buy a new one because I like the gun,

Plastic, modern gun with a grip safety? Big fail. Maybe SFA should have designed the gun themselves, not just tooled up the HS2000.

Having to send a gun to SDA with a round in the chamber because the grip safety locked up? Bigger fail.

As I stated in the review, it had nothing to do with either. It was my grip on the gun.

When it come to the slide locking to the rear after firing the last round that has everything to do with the mag and nothing to do with the weapon. The mag is what locks the slide to the rear. So the whole first part about not trusting the weapon or a shit list is kinda crazy because the weapon did not fail you but if you have put a bunch of rounds threw those mags and not taken them apart to clean them or check them over to see if the upper part is bent or the spring could be stretched out or compressed to much from leaving the mag loaded all the time. Or it could be as simple as the mag not being seated properly. Just some things to think about before you say bad things about a gun that actually has no problem.

The XDM 3.8 is my first gun!!! I have shot all of 750 round through it to date. It totally takes a beating. Not one misfire or jam!!! It is very easy to disassemble and clean for a beginner. It’s also fun to shoot when it’s so easy to keep a good grouping. The grip and trigger safety’s don’t bother me one bit as a newbe. I haven’t tried the other sizes of removable hand grips supplied with it, because the larger one works great. This is a great pistol!!!

Guess that is one advantage of being a lefty, no need to worry about hitting the slide release. As for the grip safety, get the right high grip and you should be fine. Does it need one? IMO probably not since I’ve carried as PPS which is also a striker fire pistol and I feel fine w/o one, but its a feature that they added and has worked for me for almost 2yrs. I guess some people look at safety features first when they buy a gun, I just bought a xdm cause I wanted something besides the cult classic polymer gun, the glock. Thanks for the review
