I did more than vote for the XDm, I bought the XDm 3.8.

It fits my hand better, points better, comes in 2-tone (slide is Melonited but not blackened), has a totally ambidextrous magazine releases, and doesn't require the trigger to be pulled for removal of the slide.

Downside to the XDm is that magazines from prior versions don't work in it. You need to get XDm magazines and not XD ones.
