Springfield Armory XDm 9mm Compact 3.8 Review (Part 2 of 2)

Part 2 of a lengthy living room review of Springfields XDm 9mm Compact with the 3.8 inch barrel. I am fairly new to handguns, this being my first owned. I am no pistol expert but this is my noob opinion of this awesome handgun. I hope it helps you as many of the videos on here helped me in making my decision.

I was XD fanboy when SA first bought it out.... until their CS refused to sell me a striker buffer spring unless I send the gun in... Not cool. I sold off all four of mine and went all Glock. My EDC is G19 and its been my most trusted piece, more so than my Nighthawks. To me, the Glock angle fits me very nicely.

@pittwm Interesting... Wonder if they would ship to a local gun shop... Either way, sounds like you made a good choice and got it figured out. G19's are great.

What kind of holster are you going for?

[officialtlong]

@SentryGunleather I've been really happy with the Minotaur MTAC from Comp-Tac. I think they are on sale right now too. Definitely worth checking out on their website!

I ended up with a Glk 19..there was something that felt right about it my hand and I liked the bore axis and trigger squeeze better than the XDM (the price also played a part. Shooters, the local store that has a monopoly on gun sales where I live, was offering the Gen4 G19 with for 520 and the xdm subc 9mm for $600!) I was able to get a 33 round clip too. Never the less the XDM is a well though out gun and worth it. I appreciate the OfficialTlong review in helping me out with what to look for!

[officialtlong]

@Kargg0 Sounds like you got a good deal. Both are great guns and I will no doubt keep this one when I buy my first Glock. Congrats on your purchase!

Nice review. I'm a local 425 guy...wondering where you bought and abt how much you paid for it? Did you consider the cheaper XD9 model at all?

[ChrisKueppers]

@Pivo000 yea, XDm has the 1911 grip angle

Shouldn't dry fire that. There is a pin on the top(the chambered round view pin) and it can break/make it loose. Snap cap! it!

Dig the review bro, I'm thinkin about buying one these or the S&W M&P9c in the next couple weeks so I'm doing as much research and range time as I can. Nice to see another fellow Seattle gun owner too! At least I'm assuming you're from Seattle, who else would flaunt Seahawks love on the internet!

Nice biscuit. I'm jealous.
