Thanks for the recommendation, I just checked it out and my opinions of the gun so far mirror what he said, sweet shooting and from what I understand handles any rounds you wanna put through it. Super glad I picked mine up especially since its discontinued and got it for such a good deal from PSA @ $350
@BloodHoundOutdoor I've been thinking of getting one at that closeout price from PSA. Just don't have a need for .45 auto at my age and condition. Hope it works well for you.
@ yeah I hear ya, honestly after shooting a few 9mm I think thats a better all around carry caliber, but I settled on .45 because I have a lot of encounters with pigs and for the occasional momma bear lol
When u say u don’t think it will talk the fire power of the 230gr,,,, are u talking about it will recoil more or the 230gr will beat the gun up,,, I’m just saying the Springfield xdm elite compact is +p rated,, and they can handle just about anything you put in it,, I’ve got this same gun I’ve had it over a couple years now and I’ve shot 45super and 450smc threw mine,, the xdm and xdm elites are some tuff built guns,,,
Sort of both. But like I said, I’m not too knowledgeable about handguns, I’m a rifle guy. 230gr sounds like a lot of powder to be busting in such a small package. But after research I’m understanding why and how it all works together. But yeah the xdm is badass and I went to the range after this and put another hundred rounds into it. I didnt find the recoil to be bad at all, although some of my buddies who shoot handguns more often seemed to think it had some bite lmao
@ I’m not trying to be no smart ass or a no it all , I was just giving you some info about your gun,, when Springfield designed and made all of the xdm models the designed them to handle +p ammo ,, and they can handle the 45 super ammo and the 450 smc ammo , they beefed the cases up on the super and smc to handle the pressures,, it’s the same case as the 45 acp the just made the case a little thicker at the chamber end, and the 450 smc has a small primer ,, when I carry mine I have it loaded with underwood 185gr jhp 1300fps with 700flb of engery, and when I’m in the woods I carry there 255gr hardcast lead ammo it’s rated around 1100fps and close to 700flb of energy,
@ thats pretty fuckin cool man thanks for the info! might have to check out the underwood ammo, I was looking at the speer gold dot 230 gr jhp also, heard a lot of great things about that for carry and for carrying in the woods
@ check out. Grizzly cartridge company,,, underwood ammo,, double tap ammo ,,buffalo bore cartridge,,, they make some power house 45 acp +p,,, 45 super and 450 smc,,, if you won’t something that will really land the hammer down type ammo
Bro is a sniper
Go over to The Turkey's Opinion and see what he shoots out of an XDM.
