Springfield XDM 45 for winter and subcompact 40 for summer. If'n they woulda had a subcompact 45 that's what I'd be carrying in summer.

You mean like this one?

Not when I bought mine. It's a MOD 1 I guess you would call it.

Funny, there just isn't much love for the XD's. In my opinion they have the capacity I always wanted in a 1911, and the grip angle of my beloved 1911, and the grip safety of the 1911, and they don't weigh a ton like the 1911, so what's not to like?

Because you can't set 'em down on a coffee table if'n you're vacuuming the floor. :yikes2:

Same experience here but with the S&W M&P series. I really, really wanted it to work for me. They look great and hey, they are S&W's. But no matter which grip I tried all the lumps and bumps were simply in the wrong places. Tried the service and subcompact size, they just didn't work for me. So I staid with glock. A couple years later a gun store guy talked me into holding an HK P30. It felt like it was made just for me, it was perfect! Still think M&P's are among the top tier but I figure a person needs to be honest with themselves when it comes to a carry weapon.

I am honest about my carry weapon, and it will never be a Glock.
I compete with an M&P in matches. If I thought a Glock would serve me better by being more reliable and better handling, that would be the firearm I’d compete with. Very few match competitors use glocks. There has to be a reason.
I carry what I compete with because the controls are totally familiar and requires nothing for adjustment.

I'm a geezer. Don't like plastic guns. Don't like striker fired guns. But...over the years I've owned a bunch of each. The only one I have now is the P365. It's a niche gun for me. I rarely carry it any other way than in my pocket. For belt carry I'll use my CZ-75 or P229. Sometimes, especially in the Summer, that's too large a gun. So, I always have the P365 in my pocket. The only better pocket pistol for me over the years has been the Kahr PM/CM series but with my old arthritic hands I no longer like the very long trigger pull. I shoot the P365 very well, even with the short mag. I enjoy shooting it so I shoot it often. I don't find it snappy. It took me awhile to admit I liked it. The manual safety finally convinced me. It IS good we have choices. I liked the idea of the G43 but never liked the feel, the trigger or the capacity. The slightly larger versions of the P365 or G43 have no appeal to me as I prefer my CZ-75 PCR for belt carry.
