Personally, in this whole 'shoot what the pros shoot' mindset discussion, I prefer to 'shoot how the pros shoot'. I think KC Eusebio (for example) would kill it with my XDm 4.5", because he's good fundamentally. You could drop a CZ SP01 Shadow in my hands next match and I could not shoot a better score, not because the gun isn't fantastic, but because I am not. So, details like fit in hand, stock trigger pull, and aesthetic appeal do matter to the average joe.
Stay safe, stay warm, and shoot what makes you happy. FWIW, I will be offloading my G19 and PPQ. XDm for me (and a new compound bow with proceeds!).
