So I've finally got the green light by the decision maker to get a gun. I really only want to buy one gun and think I've found the one. I've searched but didn't see much on them so I'll ask.
Anyone have experience with the Springfield Xdm line? Local gun store is running a sale for $75 off of them. From the research i've done they seem to be very relieable and easy to shoot (and shoot well). They also come with a bunch of extras and I really won't have to buy much other than ammo. I'm planning on getting the 3.8 non-compact (not going to carry it) in 9mm. Really I'm only getting this for target shooting, some home defense, and to just have a gun in case the shit hits the fan. The 20 round capacity is very appealing to me.
I'm really new to gun owning so hopefully you guys can shed some light for me.

Sounds good to me.
Reserve $$$ for ammo and magazines. Guns don't run without "gas"... duh!
Not going into politics here (no way) but I have advised all of my friends to buy ammo at whatever decent price they can find. It would probably be "easier" to pass ammo restriction laws than gun restriction laws. No further discussion please. Just stating my personal opinion. Let's leave it at that.
Back on target... Springfield makes excellent firearms and 9mm is a great, easy to find and affordable round. What's not to like?
In my house she is referred to as "she who must be obeyed"... that's a notch above the "decision maker".

My bro in-law has one in 9mm- runs well. I like the backstrap safety. If your store/another local store has a range and rental program, go shoot a few- Glock, Sig, 1911, etc to get a feel for what is out there.
I recently got on the Glock bandwagon from HK, and Kimber before that. For 9mm target shooting only I'd jump on a G34 and be done with it. Parts and upgrades are relatively cheap and plentiful.
About to take my mother to demo and hopefully purchase her first....probably Ruger. Wife is the next recruit.

I love my Glock 34! I had a spare NIB 34 that I sold to one of my best friend's mid-20s sons. He loved my 34 and I cut him a great deal on it. I didn't need two 34s. He loves it too and now that he's married I'm thinking about getting him a set of Hennie Straight 8 night sights for a wedding present. That's what is on my 34 and I know his wife would approve!
Not exactly a good carry gun (no more than a 5" 1911) but just a great all around gun, with Glock reliablity and affordable 9mm ammo to boot.

Pretty neat how the gasses twist over on the left
Not sure if it's the gas twisting the water or the bullet spinning, creating the lines in the bubble.

I have the regular XD (4inch) in 9mm. Its a great gun, and out of the 7 or 8 pistols I shot before purchasing it felt the best in my hands and shot the best. Go to a range and try a bunch out! I have not had any problems with my XD. You may also wanna check out

it's the gas. the projectile only makes a small path, no different than if you shot into the water from the shore.
the shape is the same as the flame plume you'd see from some firearms.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Jinxed myself posting about the Sub 2k- one followed me home from the range today. Sights aren't the best, but they work. Had a 17rd mag with it also.

I used to have an SKS as a truck gun. When the Keltec SU16 came out, I thought to swap to that. I'd rather have a rifle caliber gun for that.
Of course, now I have no truck, so I stow a Serbu in the back of the Golf.

Which Serbu do you have? Super Shorty?

No, it's a 14" entry type. THey used to have several and now just that super shorty thing, which is useless unless you use minishells.

So thanks for the imput guys. You basically confirmed what I already knew.
I went after work Friday and picked up my new friend.
XDM 3.8 9mm
Didn't get to shoot it this weekend but will for sure next. I'll let you know how it goes.
