This was from an old DVD that Springfield Armory gave out to people Circa 2002-2003. The clip includes some of the original scientific torture testing that Packer Engineering preformed on the XD.

The XD was just calling out to me and hasn't left my side since. I'm glad I made the right purchase.

Finally a gun that is reliable just as a glock or better.

They should put it in water first, THEN bury it in dirt, THEN run over it with a truck, and see if it will shoot. Putting it in water after dirt is just washing off the dirt.

My frist purchase was XD 9mm, second purchase XDm 40, Third Still an XDm subcompact 40, LOL, i just love every little thing about my XD series gun, oh yea for glock fanboy, i checked glock out cause i wanted a 10mm, but glock is nothing compair to XD or XDm, XDm owned glock on everything accept the weight, but a few ounce different dont matter LOL, two thumb up for the BEST HAND GUN EVER MADE!! ....***i wish they make 10mm for XDm ***

Would be interesting to know if packer engineering tested glock

@granputon01 billet steel that's what contributes to it's heavier weight over a glock, I had the xdm 9mm and xdm 45. Ultimately sold them and went back to glock and 1911 platform due to the vast availability of factory and aftermarket parts. In the event I would break a part i can walk into most of my local gun shops and get what i need to get it up and running again. Don't get me wrong the xd and xdm are great guns however i sold these for my own reasons.

@069751 Glock 1911s, they have 9mm versions that can hold over 17 rounds. Glocks aren't as accurate as a 1911 though and don't have the same potential. Weight is personal preference.

[FiveTwoSevenTHR]

I feel as though this gun is better than a Glock. Only thing Glocks have over it is the aftermarket support.

[kellymacmahan]

I have the original HS, love it

[granputon01]

Just bought a NIB XDM 45 in SS...great job providing details and info on this gun.

Now the beauty will beocme part of my pistol harem HK/Walter/Beretta/Kimber..no junk guns are allowed !

@granputon01 Hmmm.... I wasn't aware that Hewlett Packard was in the gun manufacturing business. The HK P30 is a nice gun, but its a tad overpriced.
