I am a fan of the .45 in general. why because i shoot it better. with all the ammunition developments you can't go wrong with either. granted, the bigger the whole you make the better. the only thing 9mm offers is that the ammunition is cheaper.
I will double check today, but a friend of mine just got an XDM .45 and the reasons he gave me were that he wanted a more compact gun (for his smaller hand, similar to mine) and good stopping power. But from all the comments here looks like a 9MM is good enough as well.

Looking at the SA XDM via their online info and tech sheets the gun offers plenty of safety features where you can easily figure out everything by touch in the dark, I really like that. Its American made, which is also important to me right now, and the price seems to be OK.

In that same frame size, any other guns that I should be looking at?

TIA.
