Can't believe I'm saying this...

I have the 4.5 Springfield. I love it but I've been a XD and XDM fan from the start.
I don't like Glocks grip angle and I don't want to buy a new handgun that I have to buy an aftermarket barrel for to shoot cast.
It is under spring as mentioned before but the Wolff kit was cheap enough.
The trigger pull on mine is typical XDM. I don't have a pull gauge But I wish it was better and someday I may get the powder river trigger kit.

My G20 is a brick in my hand.
The grip angle is awkward and the overall thickness is huge and glocks are truly just unattractive unless you're a fan of machine parts.....yes that's what a lot of people say about Glocks in general but it's really apparent with the G20 and 21.
I'm wanting a P80 frame that fits the 20 slide. The improved grip angle and texturing makes these frames better than mother Glock ever has been imho. Honestly I don't mind the heavier trigger pull of the plastic fantastic either.
All that being said since the G20 platform is lighter than steel, versatile, and durable it is my backcountry gun when I need capacity over wallop.
In bear country an Alphawolf 6 inch barrel and a Paradise Valley Leather chest rig make the 20 work for me when I leave the 41mag at home.
I generally shoot my steel guns at the range these days and take the plastic ones afield since I have come to understand over the years that when on foot every ounce counts.

I can update my old thread now. The wife bought me the Sig P220 Elite 10mm for my birthday. The weight and capacity issues faded away, for the sheer quality, accuracy, and amazing trigger. I'm going to modify a 10 round P220 .45 mag to use as backup too.

About all I can say is that I've had the long XDm 10 for a while now, but have not shot it much yet...maybe a few hundred rounds so far.  I find it comfortable in the hand and comfortable to shoot, and it has fed the 3 or 4 varieties of loads I've put in it with no trouble--except for some I found I had left seated too long (and too long to feed in anything I own, not just the XDm).  I can't really add much, other than that I find it far easier and faster to take down than my Glocks--which I don't actually find easy to get apart due to my challenges with that dual-side spring loaded release thing.  Now, mind you, I dislike my G20 with a passion, and while I like my G29 far more, am still not a huge fan of the gun.  So, it's probably more useful to you to hear from someone who shares your like of the Glock, than from me, who wouldn't have much heartburn throwing both of mine in the trash...literally.

From an aesthetics perspective, I would prefer the 5.25 have a 1 or 2-round shorter grip, and one that looks and feels more like an M&P. Plus, I felt the need to grind off most of the snow-tire tread on the backstrap of gun.  Deep, sharp grip treads to me aren't comfortable or useful. I work 12 hours a day at a keyboard--my hands don't stand up to aggressive grips well at all and I don't find they actually help me keep a grip on the gun anyway.

I was very excited to discover the XDm was available in 10 and ordered one as soon as I could--never having held or fired any SA product before.  I'm happy I did...but that's just me.  If Smith came out with the M&P in 10 tomorrow, I'd be ordering one by Tuesday.  I like 10.

I like the 4.5 better than the 5.25. It seems to balance better to me. That is why I got the 4.5 OSP version.

I want to see a M&P 10mm, they can call it the MP1006. I want a Sig P320 in 10mm. Gray Guns will be releasing one, but I want Sig to do it too. Part of me would like to shoot a HK USP in 10mm as well!
