The Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact comes securely housed in a hard polymer compact carrying case that also includes two stainless-steel magazines (1-9 round and 1-13 round where allowed otherwise a 10-round (See, Note 1) magazine is offered) with polymer base-plates, cable lock, owner’s manual and other paperwork, fired cartridge case, two back strap inserts for adjusting grip width, two slip-on magazine extensions for the 13-round magazine (or 10-round magazine – See Note 1) that are contoured for different back straps, a nylon bore brush,and a chamber-flag. Also for comparison, the slide width of the Glock G30 is 1.128 (approximate). The slide width measurement on my 1911 is approximately 0.918 inches. The frame measures 1.190 inches in the middle and 1.040 at the front. The slide measures 1.075 inches at bottom where it is the widest. 45 ACP and with the finish that I desired.

The Springfield Armory XDm (X-Treme Duty, the M is for the match grade barrel and match grade trigger) is the successor of sorts to the XD series of pistols. 45 ACP and the Glock G30 that, historically, precedes the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in. I will attempt at times (although at a minimum) to draw a comparison between the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in.
45 ACP that, while not negative to me, are also worthwhile to engage in thought. In addition, there are also things about the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in. There are however, enough similarities between two pistols that warrants thought. 45 ACP to the 1911 that would be like comparing apples to oranges and would be unfair. I am not going to try and compare the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in. Now, my normal carry is a “Government” model 1911-based pistol. The Springfield Xdm 3.8 Compact comes in two flavors: Black Melanite (XDM93845CBHCE) and Bi-Tone (XDM93845CSHCE) I am not going to get into the proverbial 9mm vs.45 ACP debate because I have my share of pistols in both calibers, they all shoot just fine and are far more accurate than my 10 MOA trigger flinch. 45 ACP over the 9mm however, and it is as simple as that.

That would seem to be a plus in any one’s book, and I would agree that it is. Why not? There is the 13+1 capacity with the standard magazine and a 19+1 capacity with the extended magazine. The Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in 9mm was actually my first consideration. It was not my first consideration, however. 45 ACP was the last version presented by Springfield with the 9mm and. I started taking a long and hard look again at Springfield Armory products and the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in. However, the thumb safety on the Ruger is not conducive to operating in normal conditions let alone under stress, but I do like the trigger. If Ruger made an SR45 Compact, that would be a contender unfortunately, one does not exist. The Smith & Wesson was also considered, but I do not care for the “hinged” trigger. I however, was not fine with a pistol without any external safety on a pistol that might be carried. As a student of the 1911-based pistol, I was fine with a thumb safety. The competitors had either no external safety or a thumb safety. The XDm incorporates a feature that I find comforting – a grip safety. I was looking for a happy medium of size, capacity, and concealability (a Goldilocks version) that would be at home as a HD, PD, and range pistol. 45 ACP chambering is however, very concealable but lacks capacity and is very narrow in the grip department.

The Springfield XD 4.0 is a full size service pistol and not one that is easily hidden away in an IWB holster. I never really gave the XDm a passing glance until lately. 45 ACP chambering, and the 1911 Loaded and Loaded Compact. Many moons and pistols have passed since the purchase of the XD, including the XDs 4.0 in 9mm and. At the time, I could not justify purchasing the XDm even though it had many features over the standard XD, and which I’ll go into in the following write-up on the Springfield Armory XDm 3.8 Compact chambered in. Unfortunately, a month later the XDm version hit the shelves. The Springfield Armory XD 4.0 Service Model found its way into the fold. When I first became interested in what Springfield Armory had to offer it was in my quest to find a striker-fired polymer pistol (my first Springfield, by the way) as a comparison to the Glock G21 that I had recently purchased.
