STIGUY Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Was wondering (as they have become available again) if there is any realistically reasonable reason why I should not go ahead with my plan purchase the XDM .40. This will ne used for IDPA / USPSA Production Division. Not into glocks and the M&P Pro's trigger seems to not be my " cup of tea". Should I consider something else?

Iggy42 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Granted I am not familiar with IDPA rules, but for USPSA Production there is no minor/major split so nothing wrong with saving yourself a few bucks for ammo and get a 9mm. Only reasons I would stick for .40 for competition is if IDPA has a major/minor split since 9mm is just easier all around (cost of ammo, recoil, etc etc etc).

kellymc Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't believe the trigger type is legal for uspsa production. Could only be used in limited. It would make a fine IDPA gun using minor loads. I don't know if a A 5 inch version of the XDM40 was ever made. I would get a 5 inch xd before I got a 4 inch XDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STIGUY Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Per the USPSA website, the XDM 4.5" is legal? I like the look snd feel of the XDM over the XD model. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its legal. I think IDPA does push you into ESP, not SSP, though, due to the trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
