You take user feedback and develop an updated platform that incorporates some amazing performance upgrades. And if you ask me, they succeeded. I recognize, however, that not everyone is a gun nerd. My goal today is to introduce the Springfield XD-M pistol line and give you some details about the different models. Should you decide you want to buy one for yourself, this XD-M guide can help you find the right model for your needs.
Standard XD-M pistols are heavy hitters chambered in both. Both chamberings use a 4. Both the barrel and the slide are finished with a Melonite treatment that helps protect the metal from corrosion and other damage. The XD-M pistol is customizable to best fit your hand. Each gun comes with three interchangeable backstraps. These backstrap inserts are in different sizes that allow you to match the overall grip size to your hand.
This feature should provide a much better hand-to-gun fit for improved recoil control and proper finger placement on the trigger. The XD-M is also available with a threaded barrel in both chamberings.
The recoil of the 10mm cartridge is overhyped — these things shoot like a pussycat. However, a full-power load like the Federal HST delivers plenty of punch to stop an attacker in his tracks. If you enjoy a bit of run-and-gun, Springfield also offers a pair of XD-M Competition models for your consideration. These guns — one in. Both guns have a large relief cut in the top of the slide to counter the weight of the additional gun length.
The result is a well-balanced pistol suitable for making both short- and long-range hits quickly. If I picked an XD-M for hunting , this would be the model.
The 9mm pistols are further improved in both performance and ergonomics to provide an elite experience in shooting. As the name suggests, the pull and break on this trigger are precise and consistent.
XD-M Elite pistols have improved slide serrations that enhance your ability to grab hold and work them. Additionally, Springfield Armory includes an ambidextrous slide stop to improve the appeal to left-handed shooters and make the pistols completely ambidextrous. Another enhancement to the Elite line is the inclusion of a flared, extended and removable magazine well. The wide-mouthed well acts as a funnel to channel magazines home during fast reloads.
