Not a bad choice. Those things defy the laws of physics in my experience. I can get off quicker, accurate follow up shot with any XD than with the equivalent Glock, despite the higher bore axis. e
Don't ask me how, but it's as consistent as the tides.
I don’t know nothing bout no bore axis, but my XDm .45 shoots sweet and it’s the most badass looking gun there is in my opinion.
