Scott, we do shoot our P-250 sub compacts in bug matches, and they're a lot of fun there. Yup, the XDM will be a "gamer" gun for sure, but I didn't write the rulebook. Had I, the barrell length allowed would have been shorter than 4.1", but that would have cut out most 1911's and the Glock 19.

Jay, I guess I'm just the opposite of you on the "feel" part...whatever floats your boat!
