semi-auto question

[tn_smith_fan]

Hey,I'm a revolver guy that is relatively new to the handgun deal, and I'm in the market for a shooter grade semi-auto. I'd like something small in grip because I have small hands and so far I keep going towards a 1911 style gun. Today, I was in my local gun shop and I handled a XDM-9 which felt really good in my hand. But the RIA 1911 that I held felt just as good. And the RIA was $170 cheaper than the XDM. They had a XD that was nice but was still $80 higher than the RIA. But those XD guns come with a extra magazine and a holster and all that "kit" stuff. If I want a fun-shootin' range gun that I can pack to the woods and leave in the truck, am I going to do better than the RIA 1911?Thanks.

The RIA is probably the best deal going in 1911s right now. The XDm's are nice as well. You really can't go wrong with either.

As far as a shooter's gun, I'd go with a 1911. I love XDM's but there's nothing like a good 1911

What he said,+1 on the 1911:)

Ditto. Have a full size RIA and I love it. Costs a little more to feed it, but it is worth it. Fun to shoot too. :dirty:
