[QUOTE="aestus, post: 1827007, member: 2989"] \ I didn't say more in spec, but built tighter. Tighter guns are inherently more accurate. However, tighter guns can also mean it may be more susceptible to dirt, dust, ect. Examples include AR's vs AK's, Glocks vs 1911's, and heck early GI 1911's vs custom target 1911's. Tighter guns need more break-in period and looser guns will function under a wider range of conditions, ammo, and variables. And I didn't necessarily say that XDm's even have that problem, but just a thought that this may be the case due to XDm's being a tighter gun out of the polymer guns. Why I even mention that is because the reports I get from buddies who frequent tactical training courses do tell me that overall XDs and XDm "seem" to have more stoppages than Glocks or M&P's, but stoppages with these guns are very few and far between that it's not really worth using as a data point against the XD or XDm. Especially when you compare polymer guns to 1911's. Don't think I've met anyone who frequents defensive shooting courses or teach a course ever mention a 1911 making it through all the way without a malfunction. [/QUOTE]
