Here is my review of all the Springfield XDM Elite models: Springfield XDM Elite 9mm Comparison: Which Springfield XDM Elite Pistol Should You Get? - https://youtu.be/brikEZp2OpU

So, tough choice, is it not? With Springfield, you get everything you need right out of the box, the magwell, good sights, plenty of safety features, good trigger and an impressive mag capacity for such a compact size. If you are looking for a high capacity pistol that you can easily carry, these Springfield 9mm XDM Elite are an excellent option.

From Glock pistol, you get exactly what you expect from a Glock. Easy operation, basic design, reliable performance. This particular one is a full size Glock and considering the magazine capacity, this Glock handgun is a great option for self and home defense. Possibly the best Glock for self defense. Possibly the best 9mm Glock in general. Some say it is the best 9mm handgun period... Well, I'll let you be the judge.

So, let me know in the comments below, which one would you pick in this Springfield vs Glock comparison? Thanks for watching! God bless!
