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 .45 Auto pistol with a threaded barrel offers a solid option for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or tactical firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, benefiting from a match-grade barrel and well-designed sights that aid in precise target acquisition. Ergonomically, the grip provides a comfortable fit for various hand sizes, with interchangeable backstraps enhancing adaptability. Reliability is a strong point, as it consistently performs under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the complexity of disassembly for thorough cleaning. Availability of aftermarket parts may also be limited compared to more ubiquitous platforms, potentially frustrating customization enthusiasts. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which suits both deliberate and rapid-fire scenarios. Felt recoil is moderate for the caliber, manageable for most users with proper grip, though newer shooters might find it slightly challenging during extended sessions.
