I've been using XD-45 and XDm 45 for long time. My XD is service and wears a full size CT. My XDm is 3.8 compact. Both have Powder River trigger jobs.I carry both any time any where. I will take them over Glock, but, do like the accessories Glock has in aftermarket. I recently got into Duracoat and find Tactical ultra flat black acceptional color. Almost the factory black of XDm. I am on chemo therapy, so I'll be hear like many of the guys and gals to look,learn, and to get away from the routine of therapy. It's forums like this that give us a break. Stay sharp and keep'em loaded,gfleet
