    Hi,

    I'm new to the forum. Actually, new to firearms. I have shot a few times in my life but nothing consistent. However, I woke up about 3 weeks ago and had an intense desire to get into shooting. I don't currently own a gun but am actively looking for a handgun to start, then will progress to rifles. I have been going to gun shops around town just to handle as many pistols as possible. I have recently shot XD 9mm and .40sw, Sig P226 .40sw, M&P .40sw, and a couple 1911's. I feel like I want to try some IPSC or IDPA courses at the local clubs (after I put about 500 rounds through, getting used to whichever gun I get) and want to start with 9mm (economics and availability). Then, when I get totally wrapped up in it (which will happen, I know), I will go up in caliber with the next one.
    That being said, I have narrowed it down to the XDm 9mm and the M&P 9mm Pro. I have not been able to shoot either of these yet, because the ranges normally don't have the upgraded versions for rent. However, as I stated earlier, I have fired the base models and enjoyed both. I like the feel of the XDm and M&P Pro better, since I have big hands the different back strips should help get the perfect fit.
    So, sorry for the long intro but I thought it would open it up to any feedback for those that look at this post.
    Cheers!
