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 10mm caliber pistol offers a compelling package for shooters seeking power and precision. Its accuracy is noteworthy, delivering consistent performance at various ranges, while the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip for extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, with the firearm functioning well under diverse conditions, making it suitable for both range use and personal defense. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, providing a predictable break that aids in shot placement. However, felt recoil is significant due to the potent cartridge, which may challenge less experienced users or those with smaller hands. On the downside, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring meticulous care to prevent wear on components. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts may pose difficulties, potentially frustrating owners needing quick repairs. Overall, it’s a capable choice for those prepared to manage its power and upkeep.
