I just got back from the range. I'm more than happy with it. I shot about 150 trouble free rounds. I shot a mix of my reloads, Buffalo Bore 220 grain hardcast, Underwood 165 grain Gold Dots and Doubletap 125 grain Barnes rounds. The recoil to me feels slightly greater than my Glock 20 and noticibly greater than my P220, but the P220 is much heavier, so that's to be expected. That being said, even with full power ammo it's very manageable. The attached target is 60 rounds from 21 feet shooting as fast as I could without getting kicked out of the range. The accuracy for me is where it shines, as I could never shoot my Glock as accurate as I shot the XDM. That's not to take anything away from the Glock, as it's a great, reliable gun, and just as accurate in the right hands, but the larger grip just wasn't a fit for me. This one is definately a keeper.
