I truly wonder if the Glock is really so good why do people push it so hard? It reminds me of kids telling their friends to eat something strange because it is good despite them liking it or not (regardless of how it smells or looks). I have made a rule that I will never tell someone to get a particular gun, everybody is different and different guns are better for different people. Some folks like the Glock, some like a 1911 from a particular manufacturer, some Like XD type guns, others like Sigs, and others like something else. My advice is to try everything your interested in and decide for yourself. I will tease people about owning a particular gun, but in the end if it works for them then thats what they need. I would be more than willing to depend on any firearm I own to go bang when I need it because of the fact that I maintain them properly. Some folks will claim that a particular gun will go bang every time you need it to, but neglect the gun resulting in a lump of materials that might go bang. Even Glocks will fail due to neglect, I have seen it. So find something that works for you and then buy it, shoot it, maintain it, carry it. After that, for the love your your life and your loved ones please keep on shooting and maintaining it.

First off, I own an XDm-45 and a few Kimbers. The grip safety is a non issue in most cases, in fact the only time I actually note its existence is when I holster one of my XDm pistols. For for the record I don't own a P220 but I have shot a few and in all honesty all three are good choices. My personal daily carry is a Kimber 99% of the time. So let me tell you about my my daily carry and my XDms.

My daily carry is a Kimber Pro Covert II. Its a comfortable, accurate, and reliable fighting gun regardless of how much lint has built up in/on it. The weapon has tritium night sights, CT laser grips, and has never given me any issues. The only downside is that some people think 7 round magazines are too small, I personally don't have an issue with that. My other Kimber is a Custom TLE II, aside from the lack of laser grips and the extra weight it has the same comfort level for carry and no malfunctions either.

MY XDm-45 is actually my second XDm, I own one of the first 5k XDm pistols made (that one is a .40 S&W). My XDm-40 had a sweet trigger from the factory, never had any malfunctions, and works well. M XDm-45 had a terrible trigger from the factory, but that is fixed now. The only malfunctions the gun has ever had were induced by me while I experimented on it. 13 rounds of .45ACP is nice, but in my opinion not really something I would buy a gun because of.

The P220s that I shot are property of a friend, if I remember correctly they have 8 round magazines and are German made. His guns have never malfunctioned that I know of and they are just as accurate as my XDm-45 and my Kimbers.

To determine which of the three models is most accurate you would need to shoot them from a ransom rest, and even then I'm not 100% sure you could tell. My advice is rent/borrow one of each and shoot them. Then decide which you really want.
