Hi Folks.......I am new to this forum and this is actually my first post.
Last year I bought an XD 9 SC and prior to receipt, did all the research planning to have to replace the fixed sights ( I have always had adjustable ). What a surprise when the first 5 from 3yds / 5 from 7yds / and 5 from 15 yds were all inside the 9....I saved the money on the sights. When I heard about the M, I couldn't wait to get one.
Last month for our 25th anniv. the wife let me get an XDM-40. After the first 200 rounds I was convinced that it shot about 2" left, elevation right on, at 15yds. Took it home and after cleaning, I replaced the rear grip insert from medium with the #3 larger insert. My hands aren't that large (I wear a Med. golf glove) but it made my fingers flat against the front of the grip vs. that area being gripped in the knuckle. That put me back on target without moving the rear sight.
Being our Silver Anniv. I talked here into the bi-tone slide and a Viridian Green Laser sight attachment. After sighting in, the last trip to the range produced 23/25 head shots with the laser from 15yds.
If I have one negative comment on the M-40 is that after a 175-200 rounds trip to the range, the tip of my trigger finger is a little sensitive caused by trigger safety system. This doen't occur with the XD 9, so I assume it is due to recoil.

Good Shootin'
