the XDM 5.25 is the competition model, they are more expensive than their service and compact sizes.

armscor, RIA, Citadel, all are made by the same people with different stamps on the slide. all are considered to be bottom barrel 1911s. when this thread came about the RO was brand new and was being toted by every single magazine and arms reviewer around while the XDM in 45ACP had already run it's course. the RO was the 1911 koolaid until about 4 months after this thread died when the Ruger SR1911 was released and has been the most sought after 1911 since.
