I've looked at the XDM but initially thought I wanted an all steel frame so drifted to 1911s. The marketing language on the XDM claims 10,000 rounds of 10mm fired without a FTF. They only maintenance was oiling and a recoil spring change. I'm reconsidering................

I have average hand size - the gun with 3 backstraps to change from small to large. How does the grip feel in relation to a Glock? How is the trigger?
