I really want a XDM Compact 3.8 45 ACP I held one at the gun store.Thing I fell in love.Not crazy about the back safety it could be alittle wider like the 1911 but I still fell in love. So who out there has one and how much do you like it

I have one and like it a lot. It is very well behaved at the range. The grip safety was not an issue for me as I have been shooting 1911s for a longer time.
While certainly much bigger and heavier than a cm9 it, surprisingly, carries quite well for me in a dual clip hybrid holster at around 4 o'clock. I can go for at least 12 or more hours a day with that set up.
Would attribute the "easier to carry" to the overall height of the grip. The grip is shorter than a cw45 and the slide is thinner when compared to a glock. I carry an extra magazine with all my firearms and the extra mag in this example probably helps to offset some of the weight on my back.
It is in my carry rotation along with an xds45 and the cm9 for those situations when I need to go to something smaller or extra small.
Did you have any specific questions about it?
