Springfield XDm (1)

The New Springfield XDm is available(The M Factor), which is a new edition and advancement over the previous Xd, which was already innovative. I had an XD 40, and as a lot of people know, they had a chamber indicator, a striker indicator, and a trigger safety detent like a Glock. And they have a grip that was built to be comfortable, and in my opinion, even more comfortable than Glock. The XD was built from scratch to be tough, reliable, robust and exceptionally accurate. And they are. (read Part 2)

I like both the Glock line and the XD line pretty equally, but at the time I got the 40, I shot a 9mm version and it was unusually snappy compared to the Glock, so I tried the 40 and it had a smooth recoil. But honestly, I don't have any sort of problems with any of the XDs. And the XD45 came out with an unheard of 13+1 capacity in the behemoth .45 ACP cartridge. Glock, do you have a response? Now, I don't have a picture of it to post, I just could not find one, but one will be posted at some point. But I will point out that the new M factor has a smoother slide look than the old XD, which was a stepped fashion, kind of like a Sig with broad shoulders. For me, that looks better, plus they come with a match grade barrel (as if the old XD wasn't good enough *sarcasm*). More details as they come.
