I took the time today after work to go and check out the Springfield Armory XDM. I do like the ergonomics but did not like the trigger pull. Trigger pull, hole on top to show a round in the chamber, choice of safety or not, and adjustable backstraps helped me choose a Smith and Wesson M&P 9C for my wife. She had issues with anticipating recoil with the Glock and would jam it up. Another reason why I chose a Smith before getting her a Ruger LCP.
