What I like about Hammer Striker is his voice is soft enough to review a firearm, but firm enough to read a children's story.
I have the 10mm version of the XDM Elite and really like it. I tried several other 10mm handguns at the time (S&W, Sig, Glock) and the XDM won hands down. Very controllable recoil and it feeds anything I put through it, including 200 and 220 grain hardcast.
Had a XDM compact in 45 for several years now. Liked it so well got in 9mm for my wife. Was looking at a Glock, this is way more gun for less money. Great buy.
Just bought one before the sale end this weekend for $349 amazing sale
Who had it on sale for that?
@@Wes_Sherman sportsman’s
Same. Grabbed 2
Palmetto armory..today the last day@@Wes_Sherman
Got one as well. Definitely points for sportsman's warehouse
I bought that same gun last fall for $360 and never regretted it. Not a big fan of the rear sight but it works. After shooting the first mag I took the mag well off, it feels good in the hand and shoots great.
Bought it used for $360
I am a little bummed Springfield is discontinuing the 45acp in the3.8 elite
Sportsman’s has em for 349.99 new right now 👍🏼
@@tobiascasillas8819Yup! Just picked mine up today.
I like them, have a 10mm and a 45. I removed the magwells and put the smaller baseplates on. I am not a fan of the sights, I put XS sights on the 10mm, and have a set to put on the second gun.
good looking gun. I love my XDm compact in 45 but I wouldn't mind adding this optic ready version to my collection
Thank you for posting this.
Just picked this up for a mere $350! Tend to be a Glock 30 guy, but can't argue with this fantastic pistol. :)
Just paid 349 dollars on PSA for Father's day. Didn't get it yet but it's a 349 dollar gun in 45. Actually with taxes, shipping, and transfer fee it's 433 dollars.
Thank you for that information I think the deal ends tonight but I've been eyeing this deal until my upcoming pay day. $433 isn't bad.
Sameeee man. I been looking for the last 6 months and PSA just magically popped up with them on sale lol. I wanted that package with the range bag and 5 extra mags….but I’m grateful for the regular degular package
Took advantage of the same deal. Couldn’t pass it up
Me too
Already discontinued
Thanks for the presentation. The XDMs are underrated; great guns. Would like to see a comparison between this and a Glock 30, perhaps the Gen5 version whenever that comes out.
I got one a few months ago at 349 from sportsmans. Today 12/14/24 they claim a door buster of the xdme Defender for 349 - BUT - they have just 1-9rd mag, just the grip back strap on it, no magwell, no bag just a white box. Plus now the 9mm and 45 are discontinued.
I picked one up from Sportsman’s yesterday at the discounted price of $349. No additional back straps, 1 mag.
I have one of these with the Dragonfly RDO. I was not very excited by it. I had a lot of nitpicks. Every time I try something else to improve in one area or another, I always miss the XDM. It has become my favorite side arm. Good trigger (no, not 1911-good), very reliable, optimum compromise grip angle, and it manages recoil amazingly well. It shoots like a bigger gun than it is. I love it. I often wish it were a bit smaller for carry, but then it would not shoot as nicely. So, I had to get a couple more guns to fill the tiny gun niche.
You can get mag sleeves so you can use 13 roung glock mags in the G30 series. I think they're called x grip.
Took the mag well off mine. Partly pinky issue, mostly it interferes with 13 round magazines.
HS, it is cool that i had seen ur video on ur Springfield XDM Elite OSP 45cal pistol. cool looking 45cal pistol.
I just brought the same Pistol. pay $340.00 otd and one box of Remington HTP ammo. with the box of ammo, i came to $360.00
I'm going to watch some more videos of this cool pistol, before i get to taken it apart and cleaning it..
I missed the palmetto deal ended up getting it from sportsman they had the same deal lol I 😂tried to sneak it into the house but the mrs found the receipt I skipped all the fees buying in store
You got it just in time. PSA sold out, and Springfield no longer advertises it on its site.
@@mrjones4249 its back
I miss the Mod. 2 versions that had the grip zone grip. They fit my hand a little better. But the grip zone on the grip was a little goofy. 45 acp does seem to be fading away slowly but surely.
i own one, make sure you get a few 13rd mags
I love the XDM and have two of them. My only complaint with the design is the roll pin that goes through the ejector and which the sear spring pushes against. The end of that pin sits right next to the disconnector and I've seen this in person on a 10mm XDM, that pin will work its way inward a couple thousands of an inch and jam up the disconnector. Rendering the trigger dead.
"Grab'em while you can..." do you know something we don't? Seems like Springfield will discontinue them in favor of more Echelon models? As to the extended magazines and the mag well.... I just sanded down the sleeve so it fits nicely. Took a while but it was worth it.
The xdm elite 45 was discontinued years ago. These are getting harder and harder to find. Damn shame.
The reason the mags are only numbered up to 9, but take 10 rounds, is that the mag in the video has a +1 baseplate factory installed. If you switch out the +1 baseplate to the flush baseplate the mag won't even seat in the pistol if the magwell is still installed; you've got to remove the magwell to roll with the flush-fit mag baseplate.
Would like to see this compared to the new gen5 G30.
cz9mmusa did a review on this gun last year…. Been waiting for a review of the xdm elite 3.8 .45 vs G30. Nobody seems to want to do it… perhaps I should?
Just got me a 10mm osp at sportsmens wearhouse for 577$ with range package and 3 10 round mags. Unfortunately there is a new law that makes me wait 7 days before I can be transferd to my name even tho my back round checked out Immediately as good !! Oh well 7 days to blue ball my self till shes in my hands baby!!! Looking to get my mom into this 45acp osp ver
I got a package that comes with 5 magazines and the 10mm for $449
@@florentinogomez2667 nice I was bugging out there was 2 extra mags in the range bag as well so it came with 5mags you got the better price tho haha.
45 version is $350 now. Can get another $50 off by using their credit card. Only 1 mag tho. Just saying
Any good videos how to install an optic for this particular gun.
If the grip saftey was such a problem, they would have done away with it 113 year's ago. Anyone with any size hands won't have an issue.
Most modern firearms do not have a grip safety. Seems to me they are going away with it.
Excellent Video Brother!
Question - I just ordered one of these and I would like to get an extra magazine since it only comes with one. What is the model number for the magazine from Springfield. Also, which red dots are a direct fit since I dont necessarily want to deal with mounting plates. Thanks for the great review.
@@ytfa70 That info is probably on Springfield Armory website
The only reason I don't own this is because of that magwell. I know they're removable but it leaves a gap (at least on the 9mm).
“Everything in this world seems to be going to the 9mm micro 9 territory“ yeah 40 is becoming an endangered species and 45 is 1911’s.
Why does Springfield always discontinue firearms? Makes me not want to buy from them, because when I find a gun that works I want to know I’d be able to get another if anything ever happened to it.
What ammo would you recommend for this gun for self defense? Not sure which 45 ammo will expand reliably from a 3.8 inch barrel. Perhaps Federal 230 HST JHP?
Speer gold dot 230 grain short barrel or hornady critical duty 220 grain +p.
HS Produkt, which actually makes the XDM handguns, is a great designer and manufacturer. Springfield? Meh.
How about an Echelon compact in 45?
That would worth the wait
They are coming
@@Lawyerboyleslie72when is the question 😂
Is this model discontinued
It's not on springfields website,so it's on its way out maybe
Yes
No just bought one on palmetto and they are on springfield website as of june 2024
Springfield's website has this model shown as discontinued now.
YES ALL XDS ARE DISCONTINUED
First!
