TGO Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm sure the 5.25 will be legal for production very soon. We have to produce and make available 2000 for USPSA certification, and I'm told we should have this completed within a few weeks. Don't know about Steel Challenge but I'm confident this is the model that will be in my holster for the USPSA Nationals. NRA doesn't mandate quantities, so I think technically it may be legal now. The first units are already at many shooting ranges. Get on Springfield-Armory.com to find where you can shoot one today. Ok, the ongoing saga of "Just how well should a polymer service type pistol with factory barrel shoot" continues. Only you bullseye shooters will understand this, and I'm not saying this is awesome shooting, but I just fired a 96-6x on the Bullseye rapid fire string of fire with my 5.25. I am only better than this with my Bob Marvel Custom .22 conversion unit on a 1911 frame with super crisp 2 lb trigger. Im not sure how to process this. I have been struggling for the last 5 weeks trying to shoot a good score with an NRA legal service pistol. I have this dream to some day go to Camp Perry and make the presidents 100. This is not going to happen this year but I enjoy the challenge of trying to do something that is polar opposites with what I have trained myself to do for over 30 years. Anyway, after finishing my formal practice I ran through the 40 shot Presidents 100 course of fire with my XDm 5.25 and beat my tuned .45 score! What the Deuce!!! This gun is growing on me big time. Now I'll start Steel Challenge practice. Wonder if I can match my limited class scores with this new polymer performance pistol. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_striker Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 What would it take to have an oversized mag release legal for production on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 What would it take to have an oversized mag release legal for production on this? To have the pistol approved. It uses the same frame as the XDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avezorak Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No oversize is legal for production. Canyon creek and springer both make extended releases for the XDM. I have an oversized and extended release on my Limited XDM 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 No oversize is legal for production. Yes, and it has been since the factory offered it in their catalog for the XD, as it is the same part and you can switch parts between models (ie G17 and G34.)

Avezorak Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Really? I stand corrected. Ive never seen an XDM in person or otherwise with an oversized release. Do you have a pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never seen one offered from SA from the factory... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ah, Ok, ours copies the factory dimensions and has been used in Production for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) I should have been more clear. I have an oversized AND extended release (Canyon Creek) on my XDm 40 for Limited. This particular release is not Production legal. I have an extended release on my XDm 9 that I plan on shooting in Production eventually. This particular release is Production legal. My question is, if SA offered an oversized AND extended release on the XDm 5.25, would that make it Production legal?

Artsville Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 My big question is if this is going to be released in .40S&W as well. I would love to have one of these setup for Limited to use in multigun. I agree....when does the 40sw come out..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A factory/OEM magazine release which extends only the length of the magazine release may be used. A magazine release which provides larger surface area (paddles, buttons) may only be used if it is an OEM part available on an approved model of gun. • Externally-visible parts from “custom shop” guns will only be considered “OEM parts” if the customshop gun is on the NROI list of approved Production guns.

It would be the icing on the cake if SA released the 5.25 with an oversized and extended release so we could use these releases in Production.
