Springfield XDm/XD

[yorketransport]

I had an XD-40 sub compact for about a year. It  was my first carry auto loader and it was a great gun. It shot, carried, and fit my hand well. I sold it to move up to a 10mm Glock 29 and regretted it. The Glock didn't fit my hand nearly as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another XD. I recommend them to everyone.

Not much I can add here. I bought a XD45 service model several years ago, and have only great things to say about it.

Just got an XDM 40 for my 50th b-day.
Can't wait to shoot it.
I have noticed the mag release is stiffer with a loaded mag vrs an empty mag. Somethin I will be watching for improvement on operation.

I bought the XDm in 9mm. Love it, fantastic weapon. But apparently alot of guys here think the 9mm is not deadly enough so I will need to get two of them.

With the +P ammo the 9mm has a 90-91% first shot stopping sucess rate
40: About 94%
45: Also about 94%

Yeah, you might want to get two of them

this will lossen up with Use. leave a fully loaded mag in it for a while.

this is why you double tap when carrying a 9mm

yes i noticed that as well but with many hundreds of rounds down range it is very easy now, also if you put only 15 in it is not as bad its when you have 16 in it that it does get a bit stiffer when it is new. you will get er broke in. the best and only semi i will own.

Kinda what I'm expecting. Thanx for the info.
That 16th round is a beotch to load in a new mag.

Got to shoot both new guns today.

The Tauraus 6605( new warranty replacement to my old 66) shoots well after adjusting the sights a bit.

The XDM shot well. The mags loosened right up.

I was shooting left when we started. If I put pressure below the slide with my left thumb, I can shoot about a 2 inch group at 20 yrds. Otherwise everything went left.

So Is this left thumb pressure thing common with a semi auto?

 Am I rolling on the trigger pull?  Do i need to learn a new grip?

Me thinks I need more ammo and practice.

[carpsniperg2]

you might be torque in it a bit but the front sight can be moved left or right you don't want to have to try to do somthing to make the gun shoot well.

[Dirty Mike]

anybody have a compensated one?

It's the long trigger pull that is getting you, trigger jobs are probably the #1 upgrade people do on the xd/xdm's, http://www.pistolgear.com/proddetail.php?prod=05SSC  that right there is a pretty decent trigger kit and there are a ton of aftermarket upgrades available on that site.

 Practice will help but practice + trigger kit will really shine.

nobody with a ported/compensated one?
