Ibought my first polymer-framed pistol (a Glock 17) in 1989.
Fast forward 10 years and Im looking to replace/upgrade from my full-sized 1911 in .45 ACP.
Ive had that Glock 21 for twenty years.
Why the Change?
Two things have become apparent to me when recommending a pistol to the average person.
I have very large hands, so its not a big issue for me.
Being comfortable with your guns grip is important.
Down to the Details
Do I think a grip safety is important/necessary on an automatic pistol?
Do I think its a nice to have, especially if its being used by a new shooter?
How about the mag release?
Being a lefty, I appreciate when a company makes their product ambidextrous.
There are more advantages to the XD-M .45.
This is an excellent safety feature I wish other brands of pistols had.
And finally, this XD-M is set up right from the factory for suppressor use.
The Springfield breezed through it with flying colors.
The three rounds from the draw in two seconds was no problem, and the pistol was easily controllable.
Conclusion
A good, reliable full-sized pistol is something I think every adult should own.
Sounds like a winner to me.
