I carry a xdm40 now and love it. Iam just wondering how long the wait will be. The 5+1 doesnt bother me, if I cant stop the attack in 6 rds I wont be able to stop it in 8 or 9. Plus the weight saving is nice for a summer gun. Why not carry a 45 if you can, isnt the point of carring to stop an attack if it happens? So why not have something with some heavy knock down power? Like my instuctor said you are responsable for every round that comes out of that gun,so worrying about where one or two rounds is going to go is more then enough for me to worry about,let alone 12 or more rds.
