Thinking about the Springfield XDm

[RollingCode3]

Does anyone have experience with the Springfield XDm 9mm or the XDm 3.8 9mm? I've always wanted one of these ever since I first got into guns. I already own a Springfield XD9. Is there a huge different between the XD and the XDm? I might pick one up in a few weeks.

No offense but the 3.8 9mm doesnt make sense to me other than its just looks cool. What do you gain with the shorter sight radius other than less accuracy?

I still like the full sized XDm's though but only if you can have the 19 round mags. Kinda sucks for you Ca. folks. I hated the original XD's looks regardless of how great a gun it might be?

You do know these are off-list right?

Die list, die die die

sorry. I'll shut up now

Mostly aesthetics with the XDm as most of us can't take advantage of XDm's greatest advantage of having higher capacity.

If I were to go with an XD, I'd just go with an XD Tactical or compact.

XD(m)

The (m) stands for Match, among others. It has a match barrel.

Great gun, but real gritty trigger. Needs a good break in or even a trigger job.

I wonder why they make the trigger so heavy (short reset but heavy). I know a lot of people need a trigger job on their XDm.

The OP is exempt from the approved list.

Exposed is a member here that owns an XDm 9mm. I shot it once and I thought it was very nice for what it is. I wouldn't go out of my way for one though.

+1 on this.
its the same as your xd9 when you first bought it.

since your exempt from the list, its nice to have that 19 round mag as compared to your current xd9 that only has 16 rounds.
if your thinking of using the 3.8 as a ccw, printing is a common complaint because of the long grip.

OP you realize that the XDm's are NOT on the CA DOJ roster right? I hope you're either an LEO or are willing to shell out some cash for a PPT.
