I'm not sure how comparable it is to other guns, but the XDm is really easy to disassemble and clean.
The M is nice as well. I like the fact that it can be disassembled without pulling the trigger, if only for peace of mind. I think the grip is a little less comfortable, and it may be hard to justify to extra cost for a first gun, but it is nevertheless worth trying out.
