XD vs. XDM

[MilitaryArms]

Can anyone explain to me the "match grade barrel" thing? I understand the terminology, but was curious if this *really* makes a difference in a 4" combat handgun. Or is this just a buzzword to sell another gun to current XD owners?

It makes no difference in practical accuracy (ie. you're not shooting from a Ransom Rest). My XD and XDm perform exactly the same in my hands.

I wish the XDm came with a match trigger. The M's is just as bad as the standard model.
