XDM COMPACT 9MM REVIEW FULL SIZE
The flush magazine is the true “Compact” size and holds 13 rounds, but there is also a full size 19 round that comes with a sleeve to extend the grip. Never to be left with a question about thinking about everything, Springfield gives you two different size magazines with the gun though. But the frame is a new design for Springfield and it is made specifically for concealed carry. The Compact has the same 3.8 inch barrel, and the slide is the same. This is what is being called the XD(M) Compact, and it is very similar to the XD(M) 3.8 that came out last year and that was built on their standard size frame with a shorter barrel and slide. New this year from Springfield Armory is their latest entrant into their line of XD(M) polymer framed striker fired pistols. The XD Gear has been a staple of the line since its inception and the new holster that comes with the XD(M) is as good as any aftermarket paddle holster you could buy. The gun shot out of the box to point of aim and into a ragged hole. Most gunfights occur at less distance than that and with such a short sight radius any longer range testing would be pointless. We only tested accuracy on this two tone XD(M) Compact at 25 feet. Reset is one of those things that after someone tells you what it is you say to yourself “oh yea, that is important!” and the Springfield XD(M) we tested had a consistent reset at. 3 inches, I don’t doubt that this is true.
Springfield claims that the XD(M) pistols have the shortest trigger pull of any striker fired pistol, and at a consistently measured. Check it again, even if you feel like you already checked. Make sure any gun is empty before you clean it. One thing that the XD(M) line did was eliminate the need to pull the trigger to remove the slide. You lock the slide back, flip that lever, and the slide comes off the front. Simple disassembly and re-assembly is a big selling point for the XD line.
