dillon Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Springfield Armory now shows the XDm 5.25 in 45 ACP. Might be ideal for L10, or He-Man in 3 Gun. TGO-thoughts, experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Z Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Sure Enough, it's on the web site. I would have thought the .40 would have been first and lot's of guys are waiting for it. I'm sure it will be along shortly based on the 45 intro. I really like my 9mm 5.25, it's a great 3 gun pistol. I'm going to use it for IDPA later this month.

dejadoo Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Had to go and take a look myself. Is there a competition demand for the 5.25 in .45? I would have thought the .40 would be next. Edited September 8, 2011 by dejadoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentG Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I was going to wait for one since I already shoot a CC tactical that he sells ready to go. However I got my little brain thinking it would be advantageous to use the 9mm for multigun since I can get 28+1 mags for open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 "If" they release the .45 before a .40, my guess it would be because they sell more .45's than .40's, and they want to sell many guns as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that with a compact and a regular service size pistol, but for a competition gun? CDP in IDPA is the only place I can see this fitting in - or am I missing something?

Got the email from Springfield announcing the .45 5.25 this morning. I think it's odd to release a competition model in .45 before .40. In USPSA, nobody is shooting .45 except in single-stack. Anyone shooting Limited/L-10 is using .40 for Major or .38 Super or 9mm for Minor. A competition .45 doesn't really "fit" into the USPSA divisions anywhere.

Dwain C. Baer Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Perhaps the new Springfield .45 ACP is geared towards the law enforcement market...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah makes sense, maybe there is a department request or foriegn military request for one in .45acp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+16 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Maybe it's in line waiting for the selection for new military service pistol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The pricing will be in the $750.00 range for black and $800.00 for Bi-Tone(stainless steel). I've got back orders in for both. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont contend for the win so I shoot what I like and I think Im not alone in that club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Vigilante Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Same length as the 9mm 5.25-may be a little thicker but not that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are close to the same size. The 9mm slide is .118" shorter in over all length and .03" shorter from the bottom of the rails to the top of the slide. I have several of both in stock and had to check for my self. Also the .45 cal 5.25" slide (at 15.2oz) is about 1 oz heaver than a 4.5" .45 cal and 3 oz heaver than the 9mm 5.25". All of the XDM 9mm slides weigh the same (3.8", 4.5", 5.25") all weigh 12.1 oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
