I would buy the 3.8 in 9x19mm. JMHO.I am looking to purchase a xdm springfield 3.8 or 4.5 but am unsure of both what calibur to buy and barrel length. my main goal is for target shooting ana home defense. do plan on my wife shooting it with me. any suggestions?
Shoot them and buy the model you A:shoot the best with B:Is the most comfortable for you. Either caliber will protect you just fine.
thanks for all the input. im sure that personal prefrence is most of it. gonna take advice and go handle the guns.
