I voted glock because I like the versatility and availability of accessories.

I own a M&P. But would go glock before XDM.

Nothing wrong with the XDm though.

Get your hands on them....the big glock frame is just that.....big. I prefer the sf frame.

Hands down xdm's. I have owned glocks and I won't buy anymore. I never cared for them and they just don't fit me.

I like the xdm personally, though to be honest I have only shot a few glocks. I like the interchangeable backs traps for ergonomics. It has a grip safety the glocks don't have, it also has a chamber indicator if you have one in the pipe you can visually see and can feel if it is dark out. The glocks have a crisp trigger when it breaks compared to my xdm, though I like the feel of the trigger reset on the xdm makes for quick follow up shots.

Love my xdm but did not like the feel of a glock in my hand.

I feel exactly the opposite. Glocks are big in the grips. I have big hands. Glocks fit me better. The springers are too top heavy feeling for me. You can't debate the reliability of either of them though. You just have to see which one you're more comfortable with.

On my XDM 45 magazine carrier, has the rail on each side of it and the speed loader will attach to it. That was at the range you have the speed loader with you.
Nothing like a Remington model 700xcr.

My XDM 45 is very accurate. I have taken shots at 30yds. with ease in the kill zone.
