Xdm 3.8 compact 9mm mod#
I’m a huge fan of AlienGear Holsters and their new, sleek, and durable options their Cloak Tuck 3.0 IWB and Cloak Mod OWB holsters are great choices. I’ve seen too many guys walking around with nice guns in ugly and old holsters. If you’re planning on carrying this CCW, you gotta invest in a good holster. And if you’re in the market for a tactical light, consider Amazon’s great deal on the LaserTac rechargeable subcompact pistol flashlight. Like with the XD, I recommend attaching Crimson Trace’s LG-448 Laserguard onto your XDM this laser sight may be expensive, but it’s worth every penny. yfLaOcTczmĪs part of Springfield’s goal of creating a handgun with full-size performance but in a compact design, they gave the XDM a 19-round stainless steel mag (some of the variant XDMs have smaller capacities). Our review of the full-sized, soft-shooting & suppressor-ready XDM 4.5-inch threaded barrel pistol.
Ultimately, this new system enables faster and easier target acquisition and increased accuracy. Instead of the standard dovetail front and 3-Dot rear setup, the new and improved XDM features a fiber optic front sight and an extended low profile combat rear sight. Springfield XDM SightsĪs much as I love the ergonomic enhancements on the XDM, the upgraded sight system cannot be overlooked. While most of the internal components are the same, this minute difference stems from the enhanced ergonomics, better sight system, and all-terrain grip pattern. In terms of the XDM’s performance, it’s only slightly better than its predecessor. #DefendYourLegacyĪ post shared by Springfield Armory on at 3:05pm PDT The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Similarly, Springfield enabled the XDM to be disassembled without pulling the trigger, making it easier and safer to own. However, they did alter the threaded barrels to have tighter tolerances for superior accuracy.įurthermore, not only did they add more slide serrations but they also made them deeper and longer to make the XDM more user-friendly.
Xdm 3.8 compact 9mm upgrade#
I’m not saying that Springfield didn’t upgrade the XDM’s barrel all I’m saying is that to call it “match grade” makes me skeptical. For example, imagine a corporation marketing themselves as dynamically negotiating interdependent opportunities or enthusiastically communicating multi-functional initiatives – it’s all just a bunch of nonsense hogwash. The problem with that is: the term “match grade” has become an ambiguous buzzword with very little meaning. The other clear difference between the XD and the updated XDM is the inclusion of a match grade barrel and trigger on the latter. The original XD was so popular due to their class-leading ergonomics, and with their release of the XDM, that reputation intensified. However, because of the XDM’s larger build, they had to tweak its design and add size-reducing contours to keep it as concealable as possible. Additionally, the classic American gun maker also added improved slide serrations which significantly boost control and handling. One of the major differences between these two semi-autos is the multiple interchangeable backstraps on the XDM.
In keeping true to their original XD template, Springfield Armory kept the basic design while also making several critically acclaimed performance enhancing upgrades. Springfield XDM Springfield XDM SpecsĬonsidering that this is the first of several sequels to my review of the XD, I would like to focus only on the differences between these two handguns. In fact, they were just presented with the same distinction this year for their tactical sporting rifle, the SAINT. Although this was not their first time winning the award, it was certainly a huge boost for them as a whole. This award recognizes people, firearms, and assorted weapons products for their outstanding designs, innovative qualities, and exceptional performance. Two years after its debut, the full-size XDM was awarded the prestigious Golden Bullseye Award from American Rifleman for Handgun of the Year (2009). The release of the XDM began a new era for Springfield where they were finally taken seriously within the handgun community. Therefore, in today’s Gunivore exclusive, we’re going to be breaking down Springfield’s XDM handgun. As a result, I thought it wise to get my hands on the updated XD style pistols and to put my money where my mouth is. I recently reviewed Springfield Armory’s XD semi-automatic firearm, and as part of my piece, I claimed that Springfield’s new variants were supposed to be big upgrades.
