Opinion on Springfield XDM

>>32637392
It all depends on how much you can snag it for. I don't really like the grip safety, but I've never had a problem with my XDs

>>32637392
worse than a glock. Opinions are like assholes, but I've shot a fuck ton of striker pistols, the XD is the second most disappointing, followed by the Sigma.

>>32637392
What's your price point and what can you snag it for? You should be at least $150 bucks under a G17/19

>>32637392
You may want to look at a Canik TP9SF or a EAA Witness (hammer fired)

>>32637451
Personally do not like glocks because of trump hands, but noted

>>32637488
>big hands

Look in to the FNS

Bought for $325. Included Case, extra magazine, speed loader, holster, and magazine holster.

I can't find a picture, but I used an XDm 4.5 9mm for IDPA, steel challenge and USPSA matches. It's a nice gun. I thought the trigger was a little better than a Glock, the slim grip was comfortable. I never had a single issue with the grip safety. But when you look at the cost, I don't think it's worth it. If it was the same price as a Glock that'd be one thing, but it's not worth more than one.

For me, the trigger is less meh than the Glock brand Glock, the grip texture is okay, the sights are easy to acquire, and the grip safety is love it or hate it. It's an okay gun.

Yeah that's good. There's nothing seriously wrong with them but most people do not enjoy them.

>>32637470
>buy a cheap revolver
why

>>32637865
the Witness is ok, for some reason my brain said "Windicator"

I quite like the grip safety because I don't have to worry about turning a safety on or off in a dangerous situation.

These people make really good triggers.

I like them alot. My dad wanted a glock and I redpilled him into getting a XD. He loves em. MY wife also has one and she has had 0 issues with them. We all pretty much snagged em for about 350 ish with the essentials kit.

They're fine, as long as you realize you're not buying an heirloom piece or work or art.

They're people-killers, and decent ones at that. Tools.

I can only assume that my hand blocked the shot from hitting my stomach or chest as we were practically face to face at that point. It took me just a second to recover and he started retreating toward the door, backing away from me and shooting. I got two shots off as he was backing away, both missing him. I had the little problem with the next round not going off, thinking I had a jam, I ducked behind the table to clear the gun and yelled for everyone to stay down. I looked down and saw how bad my hands were as I cleared the round out, and stood back up to continue fire. (Looking back on it, I think I realized that I wasn't getting a good grip due to the screwed up hand and neglected to engage the grip safety) I continued turning toward him while lowering my pistol to return fire, which evidently put the right hand directly in the line of fire as he squeezed off another round.

I don't think it matters what safety I have if I get shot in my fucking shooting hand mid fight

And I have the gun, if you grip the back of the gun with any force it turns off the safety, so I can only assume he was missing the back of his hand or was holding the gun like he had claw hands.

Reading comprehension, the grip safety disabled the gun when he needed it, it absolutely matters. If he had any gun without a grip safety, he would have mag dumped rather than fleeing and getting shot 5 times.

Wish they'd ditch the grip safety and dropped to 350 or so and they'd sell like hotcakes

Better than when it was Croatian and $100 cheaper

i like the grip saftey cause i dont have to worry about forgetting saftey

>>32639177
uh anon, they are still croatian

XDM is okay imo. Trigger is nicer than other striker fired handguns I've shot and or finger fucked. While I'm not a fan of the grip safety, you really have to have a real fucked up grip to not have it work. Outside of those two things it's just like any other striker fired handgun on the market. Really just comes down to what you like. I know this advice is offered often, but really do try and put multiple rounds through various handguns before deciding. Not only is it good practice, but it really does give you the best idea of what you like.

Did you practice being this stupid or was it a gift?

Excuse the response

My point is that when it was the HS-2000 or whatever it was marketed as, it was more aggressively priced than it is now as a "Springfield" pistol.
