I am completely stuck between these two pistols. At first i fell in love with the Range Officer because of the fact that I've always wanted a 1911, but then I saw the XDM 4.5 in 45 ACP. If i could have them both i would but I am on a budget. My question is what would be the overall better gun for just all around use? I will be punching paper, carrying, and the occasional deer hunt(only with the 1911). I just want an accurate, dependable gun and i'd like to hear the ups and downs of both to try to help me decide.
