 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. Today we're going to do a range comparison with two of my favorite Polymer Framed handguns. Here we have the Springfield Armory XDM Elite OSP optical sight pistol and over here. We've got the Glock 45 MOS modular optic system Both have optics included both our polymer frame Both have great features and they have been reliable for me The greatest difference is that the Springfield has a threaded barrel Which extends the barrel length to 5.28 inches as where the Glock has a 4-inch barrel And if we look at the slides, we'll see that the Springfield slide goes about half inch longer But the barrel extends a little further outside of that. They're similar for the respected manufacturers. Let's start with the Springfield. This is loaded with features It's all ambidextrous with the magazine release and the slide stop It ships with 22 round magazines. It is optic ready It has a hex dragonfly on their 3 MOA red dot a flat trigger that breaks right around four and a half pounds with a reset Right there for the follow-up shots Flat dark earth does have a rail right there a flared mag well It doesn't have the grip safety. Some people have an issue with the grip safety, but I'm a 1911 guy So for me a grip safety is Pretty standard and it also forces a high grip on the pistol both have a nice ergonomic feel The grip texturing is a bit different the flat dark earth is a bit different than the Glock Anyways, but overall that part is Not as important. I'm gonna go ahead and take a few shots with the XDM elite OSP nice Love this handgun. I have the original Well the original elite XDM with a 4.5 inch barrel this has a 5.2 8 inch barrel and it's optic ready But over here we've got the Glock 45. I love this handgun. I call this my favorite Glock I used to say the Glock 26 is I still love that, but I really like this This is an MOS and I currently have a swamp fox Justice on there and I find swamp fox to make nice optics once again 3 MOA dot But 17 round mags longer grip a little bit of a flare in the mag Well, not as pronounced as the XDM elite nice grip texturing feels good on the hand Glock a little bit blocky But this one's not overly block. It actually feels alright. Here. We have forward serrations It has the Glock sights and I failed to mention that the Springfield has raised rear sight and Raised front sight, but that is in case it's a host for a suppressor Ambidextrous slide stop magazine release can be switched over five and a half pound trigger With the trigger tab in there And the standard Glock reset if you love Glock You have to love the Glock because you're getting the 17 round mags with the four inch barrel Love it that it's MOS and Glock has been doing a great job creating handguns that are MOS I Think I have eight rounds of this as well I'm gonna take a few shots See if I can hit anything here. I love shooting both these handguns. Let me get that out of the way right now But which one would I choose? I always make a decision with these range reviews. It's not easy in this one It's not easy either love it that they're both Well, my favorites with the Palmer 9 millimeter Striker fire handguns. I think they're they're both excellent and There would be better comparisons out there on the Glock side of things because this is full-size. This is a hybrid It's kind of full-sized with the frame not so much with the barrel length and the length of the slide Having said that I love all the features that the XDM elite has I love it that this is MOS both optic ready Both fire great extremely reliable, but if I had to choose one I Have to go with the Springfield XDM elite OSP. I love this. Nothing's gonna tear this out of my hands I will assure you that the Glock 45 MOS is awesome But I said I would choose one. That's what I'm going with what I really want to know is which one would you choose?
