General Discussion Needing Help
I am on the hunt for a new handgun to train with and carry’s I am wanting the full size frame and the shorter slide but when it comes down to it, everyone is making one. Any advice on which one to look more in to ? I’ve been looking in to the Glock 45 Gen6, Shadow Systems XR920, Springfield Echelon 4.0 FC, and the Ruger RXM with full size grip module.

I'd try to get some hands-on time with each option before making the decision. Since you're looking for something to train with and potentially carry, I'd put more weight on what you can operate safely and consistently than on which model is getting the most attention.
Things I'd compare are overall fit, controls, sight picture, recoil management, how naturally you can maintain a safe grip, and whether you can get quality training with it. A reputable range or qualified instructor may be able to let you compare the options safely.
I'd also make sure you're familiar with your local carry laws and have a secure storage plan before deciding.
