About the Gun

Springfield's Croatian made XDM pistol is not intended to be a replacement for the company's XD series. Moreover it represents a high-end option alternative to the XD. This is seen in features such as its precision machined match-grade barrel and extremely short trigger travel and reset. The polymer grip has interchangeable palm swells and holds higher capacity magazines than the XD series. Features still common between the XD and XDM series are the loaded chamber indicator, the cocked status indicator and the 1911 style grip safety.

Analysis

This compact 9mm pistol offers a solid blend of features for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are a strong point, with a grip that accommodates various hand sizes through interchangeable backstraps, promoting comfort during extended use. Reliability is another asset, as it cycles smoothly with a wide range of ammunition, showing minimal malfunctions in testing. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome, requiring more effort to disassemble and clean compared to simpler designs. Availability of aftermarket parts may also pose a challenge for customization. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids precision but might feel stiff for some users. Felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most, though smaller-framed shooters may notice it more during rapid fire.
