I think what most excited me was just how super simple the take down was.

I did notice how well things fitted together, far more precisely than many of the sloppy service-type striker guns I have tried, which was encouraging. Springfield XDM Elite stripped to its main components It was clean, naturally, and a little dry but it did not need any attention. So far so good, time to field strip and give it a quick wipe just to be sure everything was in order. I was most impressed with the reset I could hear and feel it and it was a clean, short reset. No, this is not a high-end 1911 trigger but, to my mind, it is the best striker-fired trigger I have used to date. Now a bit more intrigued, I picked up the XDM and was pleasantly surprised how well it fit my hand without even changing the back grip for any of the other sizes.ĭry firing it a few times, I was impressed just how truly smooth the trigger was for a factory striker-fired gun. Basically, all you need is a holster and you can start competing in IPSC or other action matches. So now I was grudgingly thinking how well-appointed and supplied the XDM was from the importer. Springfield XDM Elite with all its goodies impressive factory 10-metre test target.extensive, well written and illustrated manual and instructions.two extra, different sized backstraps, giving a total of three grip sizes available to suit almost every size hand.an extended magazine funnel to aid fast reloads (which I admit I did not use as I found the already bevelled mag well plenty fast and comfortable).
