I just wanted to see everyone's thoughts on this. I have a xdm45 but have always loved 1911s for the looks, reliability, and the history behind them. Thoughts?????
Both are excellent guns, use what feels best for you. Obviously 1911 will be slimmer with a better trigger, while the XDM will win on capacity. I'm not sure if this is a HD gun, competition, carry, etc, but I can say it is very possible to CC a full size 1911. Good luck doing the same with an XDM.
You will have to carry the 1911 with the hammer cocked and safety on, that turned me off to carrying a 1911.
I can CC a full size XD45 13 rd mag no problem. Body type is a factor though. Arnold Schwarzenegger could probably CC a minigun.
Different strokes for different folks... that ^ is exactly why I choose the 1911.
Crazy world, brah.
The XDM has a bit more length in both the grip and barrel than the XD though. Plus...I've seen you CC that XD45. And by "I've seen you," I mean the gun Then again, I do know what to look for.
How can the XDM45 have more grip length than an XD45? They use the same mags.
And yeah, you have a trained eye so you don't count. It's nice to know someone's checking me out from behind though!
Hahaha, my trained eye would say a non-trained eye could spot it too. But sometimes you don't know.

I've OC'd that 45 so many times I don't really care if someone spots that "suspicious bump". Most people passing by me who would care wouldn't notice it long enough "spot" anything anyway. My CC doesn't have to stand up to close examination, just enough to bare a passing resemblance of being "unarmed".
