We also tried to buy the M&P 9 for her, but they sold out on their police website last night.

I'm trying to talk her into buying this bad boy and it's only $20 more than the M&P 9.

Thoughts? The handle seems kind of long on the Springfield though.

See my post a few spots above........I didn't really touch too much on how it shoots in that post though. I put 150 rounds through it after I got it and tried to make it jam but it went bang every time. I emptied a 10 round magazine in 3 seconds smooth as a gravy sandwich. It has a kinda high bore axis that takes some getting used to, but not an major obstacle. Trigger isn't the smoothest I've felt, but pretty good. Takedown is easy, but you have to pull the trigger to do so. I don't really like that, but it is what it is. The grip safety is barely noticeable and a cool safety feature.

Mine came with a Kydex holster and dual mag holster and loader gizmo (I think all XD's do) If you go for the XDM, the differences are worth the extra cost IMO (trigger, barrel, 19 rd mags) if you like that aggressive look. I personally don't like it's looks, but even if I did, my state only allows me to have 10 rd mags, and the only XDM you can get under those guidelines is 45 cal. Good luck.
