I am also planning to put a red dot on it, or would it be better to do a 2x/3x scope?

I wouldn't hunt with a 9mm or a .40 to be honest.

What kind of mount is that on your Mosin? Im sure there'll be people saying how bad the mount sucks compared to rock solid's mount but its the ATI mount but I used plenty of loctite on it and its holding extemely well. The scope is my $70 6-24x50 ncstar mark III rangefinder illuminated. Its cheap but pretty decent for the price, I just didn't see the point of putting something more expensive than the gun on it. I spent 3 hours cleaning it and let it sit in some CLP then spent another 30 minutes with hoppes no. 9 and got the bore nice and shiny and its very accurate now even with the cheap scope.

if your planning on hunting with your xdm..id go 40. for just plinking 9mm is def cheaper on ammo. I use my xdm 40 for feral hogs and have had good luck with it.

Yup, what Spacemonkey said. I've used my .40 on hogs and it works fine, I use that cheap WWB 165 grain fmj stuff from Wal Mart. It's cheap enough at like 28.00 for a box of 100.
