cuzinvinny Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Guess I'll just have to wait to see which is available first, the XDM or the M&P 9L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingchef Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I sold all 3 Xd's I had aquired for M&P's. That back strap safety was a pain. Neat looking pistol and I am willing to test one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves2Shoot Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) I got one today. It will hold 20 +1 rounds of .40 with a base pad. I like the grip and the slide. They messed up the trigger system just so you don't have to pull the trigger to take off the slide. I think that was REALLY STUPID. It can be fixed though, just a bigger pain to deal with.

Loves2Shoot Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Will the XDM accept older 40 S&W XD mags.Jim Nope, the new mags are thicker steel and seem better made though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 A few XDM's have shipped to Springfield Star Dealers and are for sale to the shooting public. Guns should arrive at wholesale by the end of May. The other XDM thread: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...4814&hl=XDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Some distributors already have them. I've ordered in a supply. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChewToy Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Is this the reason for all of the XD sales that have been going on the last month or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoMiE Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Shoot one today, have to say I like the grip better than the standard XD. Little slimmer, little lighter, but I am comparing 4" to the 5" tactical. The XDm definately had a nice balance to it. I could see the XDm as a contender in Limited/L10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe D Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Too bad they did not take this opportunity to move the slide stop forward. It rests right under my thumb. Slide never locked back for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+16 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The fact that springfield is in the running for the new Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) would be a factor in their recent introduction of a couple of new xd models xd-m as well as the 45 hi-cap model fit the model that the military is looking at, their is a push by some for a 40 s&w as well as a 45 acp, this is also the reason the external safety was removed from some models. But shooting sports and collectors will also benifit. Read all about it on www.globalsecurity.org/military Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip62 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Any chance they'll make this in a 9mm or a 5" or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIIID Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 They have easily made more than 500 so now Springfield needs to submit the paper work. I've done a few trigger jobs on these and this model will have the lightest and shortest trigger pull than the other XD's. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modified Henning base pad works and is 140mm legal, but Arrendondo is making a pad and maybe a follower. We will be doing an XDm specific aluminum pad eventually also for those who want options.

eerw Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 man...between Rich and Scott doing all this cool stuff..I might have to try one of these.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbullgpd Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 any links to basepads? I have clients who want to put them on. Also anyone heard of extra mags. I sold two of them but they only came with the two mags. Can't find extra mags for them yet. At least I can't. any help would be appreciated. The buyers want to use them for limited division so they would like two more a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 We'll have the pads as soon as they are finished up. SA says they will be shipping mags in 2-3 weeks, retail $30 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedust Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 ive now recieved 4 of the M's over the last 2 weeks and sold thru them all (keeping one for me of coarse). the buyers are experienced shooters and very happy from their initial range visits. to answer some questions i saw...it will be coming in additional calibers and there is no plan for longer of shorter lengths at this time.
