I didn't think I would ever....

Trade my PM9?!! I couldn't resist a like new XDs 45 w/ 5 mags!
Yup..My CM9 has been flawless and the PM was too nice to become a safe queen.

Got it to the range today and put 100 rounds through her.
Gold Dot, Golden Saber, Critical Duty,UMC & WWB cheapie JHP's.
It even ran my 185gr. LSWC handloads without a bobble..
Wanted to pick up some more Gold Dot's and they didn't have'em in stock.
Low and behold...they had 1 box of Federal HST 230+p glowing like a crown jewel!
They ran like a Timex and recoil wasn't as bad as I would've expected either!
Yup...I gots me a new carry beast :w00t:

Guns are like crack, except you die from crack and stop spending money.

Springfield makes a great series of guns. You did good.

Nice thing about that xds is its the same thickness as the cm9, just a little heavier. I had one but a traded it after the recall because I already had a cw45. Don't miss it but was was always flawless. Never bobbled even once.

I like your choices! I carry the same three calibers in guns from the same three manufactures. My Kahr is a PM9 and my Springfield is an XDM ,45ACP 3.8. The one closest to my heart is my P3AT!

The XD-S is a sweet shooter. I would have probably gotten one, but I like that the CM9 is a little bit smaller and you don't have to pay extra for the bi-tone (I'm on a stainless kick right now). I have an XD-45 and I love that thing, but it's expensive to shoot these days. Enjoy!

My son has and XD-M 9 (4.5 inch barrel 19+1) and an XD-S 9 (3.3 inch 7+1). He loves them and both have been flawless.

340pd...you can die from spending money too....at least that's what wifey told me!

BillK..I'm fond of the P3AT..sold one years ago..missed it and tried a LCP.
I did not like the LCP at all and found another P3AT.

It is a bit heavier, but still pocketable...at least for me.
I've had several XD's..a 45c that wouldn't run the LSWC's...never took the time to play with the OAL before I sold it though.

My dad gave me a couple boxes of reloads with LSWC's and my XD-45 hated them. It eats all sorts of RN and HP's though. I just ended up giving them back to my dad.

And, I've heard that you can die from that too. I'm currently testing the theory out with buying two Kahrs at once. :faint2:

I've shot reloads that my brother gave me through my XDM 45c with no issues but they were hard cast round nose.

Interestingly my P3AT has zero issues running a 100 (or is it 105) grain truncated cone [That would be the same as LSWC, right?] reloads that my brother put together for me many years ago. They were my winter carry rounds for a bunch of years until Critical Defense came out. Think I still have a few hundred rounds left; I'll have to shoot some next time out with my P3AT.

A semi wad cutter and a truncated cone are different...never tried a SWC in my P3AT, but WWB TC's are my carry round.
This link has some info...

I can attest to that. The wife has the ability to spend until its killing me....

No man is truly married until he understands every word his wife is NOT saying.

^^Words of wisdom!

I wouldn't mind an XDS but I like my PM45 too much to think about it.
