The XD(M) pistol from Springfield Armory sets the standard for what a polymer pistol can be. The XD(M) has everything you want and need in a pistol – superior ergonomics, reliable performance, and features that make it easy and intuitive to use. The XD(M) 4.5" Full Size Essentials Package is the perfect pistol for those who are looking for full-size performance, sight radius and handling.
The XD(M) 4.5" Full Size is the perfectly proportional combination of a 4.5" barrel with a full-sized frame. The result is a service size pistol that’s ready for anything. The XD(M) includes a number of features that will change your perception about what you can expect from your pistol. The three interchangeable backstraps mean that no matter what size your hand, the pistol can fit it perfectly. Mega-lock texturing will keep it secure in your grasp, while the dovetail sights align with ease and the minimal reset trigger breaks crisply and cleanly. And when you do send a round downrange, the match-grade barrel will direct it with industry-leading precision.
Whether you're looking for a pistol based on ergonomics, reliability or features, you're in the right place. Try one today and see for yourself what a polymer pistol can be.
The XDm line is known for its refinements over the standard XD, and is considered superior to many other manufacturer's offerings. Some say it's the best polymer-frame pistol you can buy. I'm one of the people who share this opinion. This is not my first XDm, but it's the first one I've bought online, and I don't think there is any better deal to be had than SOS. Well done. Thank you.
I will also mention that it seems Springfield has done away with the big box-o-stuff and has made the Essentials package their new standard. You will notice the SP is gone from the end of the product number, which now ends with E. Fine with me, since I have a real Maglula and plenty of holsters, all of which are better than the paddle they would ship in the bigger kit.
Also of note: this XDm shipped with a fiber optic front sight, which I didn't request, and was completely unexpected. I don't know if that's their new standard but if so they haven't updated their online catalog yet. My last XDm shipped with 3dot iron. Some may prefer the fiber. I'll put Trijicons or Dawsons on this so, again, it doesn't matter to me. Cheers.
