hartzpad Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'm an M&P 9 Pro shooter, handled a tricked out XDM yesterday and I really liked it. Anyone know if there are plans for a "tactical" or 5" XDM model in the near future or is the 4.5" barrel all there will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 They made a couple 5" for the American Handgunner article, but I have no clue it the will release them to the public. Personally, I would not want a 5" version unless they did some slide lightening, as it would lose the good balance it has now at 4.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 If they do a longer M it would probably be longer than 5". Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammowaster Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 How long could it be where it still fit in the box for production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el pres Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) OOHHH, How about a 6" with slide cuts for production, do you think it would fly ?? If the factory made one I guess it would have to ?? If the balance was right it could eaisly take over the division .. Hello, anybody listening ??

RIIID Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 They might be able to squeeze a 5.5" barreled gun into the box. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gryff Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 OOHHH, How about a 6" with slide cuts for production, do you think it would fly ?? It wouldn't be legal since its dimensions would be too large for the division. It would also never fit in the IDPA box, so it wouldn't fly there either. They might be able to squeeze a 5.5" barreled gun into the box. I doubt it. Maybe 5.25". I'd love to see a 5" XDm, but I can't imagine HS or SA tooling up a production line just to add 1/2" to the barrel length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do or did a 5" XD, I have one which I use for IPSC Production. Is there much difference between XD and XDM slides and barrels? I would love an XDM or the HS equivalent but Australian law requires a 120mm minimum barrel length so it has to be the 5" Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I don't know about a 5" but the 3.8" should be in the pipeline now. FWIW Richard PS: I'm waiting for a sub compact to come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chizzle Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If they make a 5"+ XDm with a coffin cut slide (like a Glock 34 / 35), I would buy one and send it straight to Canyon Creek! I can't wait to see them! Chuck They might be able to squeeze a 5.5" barreled gun into the box.Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stony Lane Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 These guys, from HS Team Croatia, say a 5.5" XDM is in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeInKS Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 These guys, from HS Team Croatia, say a 5.5" XDM is in the works. Anyone have any new information about a 'tactical' XDm? Would absolutely love one being a fan of a long site radius (hence my owning of a Glock 17L and 24) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
