I personally prefer Springfield guns to Glocks, but the XDM line is a bit pricey. Ssshhh! Don't tell any of my friends on the forum, but I've actually carried my wife's Glock 19 a couple of times in the past week. But my EDC is the XDM 3.8 .45 Compact, and it carries very well. I just now went and weighed both guns, each one with a loaded magazine, one in the chamber, and a spare magazine. The G19 came in at 2 lb, 6-3/4 oz, carrying 31 total rounds of Speer 124 grain Gold Dots. The loaded weight of the XDM 3.8 .45 came in at 3 lb, 1/4 oz, carrying 23 total rounds of 230 grain Federal HST. I'll keep carrying the XDM 3.8 .45 as my EDC. . . until my XDS .45 gets back from the recall. . . .because I prefer shooting .45 ACP and tend to be more accurate with it; but, the Glock 19 is certainly an excelleent and viable choice for concealed carry, and an awful lot of members of this forum carry them.But for know I'm leaning towards the XDm .45 as I have plenty of ammo for that caliber and haven't seen much 9mm at my local Walmart. I want the Glock 19 for the lighter package as you have shown. And to diversify my calibers in case I have trouble finding .45 ACP. I've seen CDNN have the Glock 19 for a very reasonable price, a little above and below $500 depending on if I want a Gen 3 or 4. What did you pick up your XDm for if you don't mind me asking?
With glock one thing to consider is the used market is huge due to LEO trade ins, you might want to look at GT Distributors they get a lot of trade in glocks.
