bulm540 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 From the xd forum: CAbelas has it for $1399. Thats a bit much. I know Cabelas is always a little high but thats gonna make it a little less appealing, for me at least... indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 WHAAAAT???? That's a ridiculous price. If that's true, Springfield is pulling a gouge job on us big-time. I was pretty pleased to see this gun announced, so I really hope it's just a misprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Cabelas is always a little high but thats gonna make it a little less appealing, for me at least... indeed. Yea, that price was me ... Sorry I don't post much here, kind of lurk in the EAA section ... But here's an update on that Cabelas gun. Hey guys I just practically stole a new XDm 5.25 from cabelas out in Glendale Az this evening. Man this thing is sweet only $1529.11 after I so happily handed over more then $130 to the state of Arizona in taxes for all their great work...Wally walk time!!! http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/xdtalk-chatter-box/178703-xdm-5-25-price-cabelas.html#post2923549 NEVERMIND ... Someone was yanking my chain. I'll try to get a picture with price tag, tomorrow. Edited June 29, 2011 by azxd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GForceLizard Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 That it comes with a fiber front and the adjustable rear makes it worth a little more than the price of a Glock 34 + $130. Street price should be $750 to $800. If it's more than $800 it's going to be a tough sell to the non fan boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avezorak Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Im not gonna be real interested at more than about 850. And I am a fanboy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvoutdoorsman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Just saw it on their web-site and I am very excited, 5.25" barrel, fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear, open slide and hopefully a decent trigger. I'm glad I didn't send in my 4.5 XDM 9mm for a trigger job and sights, now I'll use it for a trade-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvoutdoorsman Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Just talked to Pekin Gun for price and availabity, thats a no. They told me SA hasn't even shipped them yet. An open gun in the future for this poor and old shooter I would like that. Optics for my eyes, 9mm for my wallet and a large round count for my not so good memory.

I too need a holographic sight. By the time I tilt my head back far enough to get a crisp sight picture, the target is barely visable. This is a memory stage?! Oh wait, let me get my white towel and throw it in the start box right now! I keep thinking this new gun might be a platform for a budget-minded open gun.

azxd Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Sorry guys ... I feel like a real idiot !!! AZXD FAILSSorry folks' date=' but I seriously failed yesterday ... Lot's of heat while working in the yard, one to many beers, then having the wife run me over to get some ammo. Stupid people shouldn't have let me touch a gun Went back today, and it's a damn custom competition thing from the factory, but it's not the new XDm. I'm sincerely sorry, and feel like a fool for stating the price of the wrong gun [/quote'] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XDM has a heavy striker spring that wants to push it out of battery, so you still have to spring it to work with a comp and the lighter the slide the better it feels IMO. Plus you don't need a longer gun with the dot for aiming. Edited June 29, 2011 by Loves2Shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tenchu74 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 As a competition pistol it is a step in the right direction. Nice length & sights but... It still can't compete with the Glock 34 & Smith & Wesson M&P pro because the bore axis is way to high. A high bore axis = more muzzle flip = slower times. What they needed to do is a major redesign where they lower the bore axis and make it so you can get your hand higher on the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that type of thinking maybe they need to redesign the 1911 it to has a high bore axis to shoot it fast. This bore axis excuse just doesn't fly. Learn to grip the gun properly and shoot good ammo, you won't be able to see any difference. Oh and I've seen people shooting .013 splits with excellent accuracy out of an XD/m, maybe if the bore axis is lowered they could do .012 or .011's. As Flex would say pick a gun and shoot it.

PKT1106 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Definitely looking forward to the 40S&W version for USPSA Limited. Hopefully everything I have done to my XDM40 4.5 can be swapped over to the new model (PRP trigger kit, Pistolgear magwell, etc...). Then I will use the 4.5 for production and the 5.25 for limited. Oh yeah, hope they use the same magazines, which they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't tell the difference. I have many more brands of polymer pistols also and with good technique, and the video camera shows they all move just about the same as far as flip goes. If a gun fits you better, then it might feel different, but it doesn't mean it is significantly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not comparing guns, I'm using your theory on bore axis. The difference between the XD/m, m&p, and glock is insignificant, now if your looking at inches then it might hold a few drops of water.

Rich Its not my theory. I thought it was a scientific one...lol maybe the m&p just felt better. When I go back to the xdm the grip texture just doesn't feel as great as the m&p. I was probably talking in inches. Other then that and the roll pin I never had any other problem with the xdm. The $1400 price tag is quite suprising though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 "The $1400 price tag is quite suprising though" That was for another custom competition XD not the 5.25, they haven't been released yet. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
