- Is the Springfield XD series the most hated pistols on the internet? Possibly! Here is the review of the Springfield XDm compact, chambered in 9mm, that no one asked for! My first 9mm pistol and the first pistol I carried concealed for a few years it has been a solid pistol for me but the XD series has a history of failures that we touch on. If you actually read this description comment what your first pistol was?

#springfieldarmory #xdm #9mm - Zábava
I have 2 XDm Elites (9mm and 10 mm) and a Hellcat Pro. Maybe I just got lucky, but these pistols are great, zero problems and crazy accurate.
I've had good luck with my XDm's as well and they are very accurate pistols. Haven't shot an elite yet.
Same. Mine, no issues😊😊
ive been carrying an XD since they first came out in the early 2000s. XD 9mm and then in 45, and was very happy. When the XDM came out i bought a full size in 9mm and was amazed at the improvement (still own it and carried it until last ear, its been in an evidence locker since). I am now carrying the XDM elite 4.5in 9mm and am happy, some thing i like over the OG XDM (sights, magwell) somethings not so much like the trigger, maybe it just needs more rounds to smooth it out or maybe ill replace it with a PRP Somewhere along the time i picked up a XDS in 45 as a back up gun (still carry it at times). Thousands of rounds of training and plinking, more than a couple in defense of life in all sorts of weather conditions without a single failure
Im kinda stuck on em after shooting a variety of handguns before with Walther being my favorite, nothing against Glock but the grip angle just isnt comfortable for me.
Quite the carrying history, you are a connoisseur of the XDm! I still like my XDm's(I have multiple lol) and occasionally I'll carry the XDs. The weight difference of a Glock 19 vs the XDm was noticeable and ultimately led to my change of carry pistol.
@@Northwoods.Nobodies I agree with you about the weight. Weight is the only reason I am actually considering switching from XDM to glock 17 / 19. Absolutely everything else is much better on the XDM, better trigger, better grip, much more accurate, easier to shoot, much prefer to have a grip safety, etc... Its just the weight. I pack all day in the mountains while hunting and every ounce counts. Not sure if weight alone is enough to change my mind, we'll see...
Hated? Ask the owners. They love it.
I did title it "The Internets" for a reason. I own several Xd series pistols, I have always enjoyed them and they've been good to me. The internet certainly has a hate for the Xd though.
I got the 3.8 one on armslist yesterday for $400 even came with 2 flush mags 7 16 rounders with sleeve and like 500 rounds of self defense ammo and 200 fmj one hell of a deal if you ask me I’ve been playing with the trigger definitely best production trigger reset I’ve ever personally experienced haven’t shot it yet but can’t wait
That's a hell of a deal for sure. The XDm has a very nice factory trigger for the price point of the pistol. Let us know what you think of it after a range trip!
I have 5 XDMs in various lengths and calibers (9, 10, 40) and have had ZERO malfunctions of any kind.
Let people hate on 'em, it keeps the prices down. Look something like the VP9 that everyone went nuts over, street price is up to over $700 on those (I think I paid around $500 when it came out)... Meanwhile, I recently saw the XDM 4.5 9mm OSP with threaded barrel, suppressor sights and *5* 22rd mags + 1 35rd mag in a gear-up package for $530 at an online retailer. XDMs are the best kept secret.
I've got a handful of Springfield products(XDm, XDs, 1911) and they have been good in my personal experience, with very few failures. I'm not trashing Springfield with an agenda in mind but sharing the information that's out there. Joys of social media, we can share our experiences good or bad.
Springfield has certainly had some great deals with their gear up packages the last few years that I've seen.
HK is not meant for the poors 🤣
@@Northwoods.Nobodies I wasn't taking your video as ripping on the XDM, I'm just saying the hate financially benefits the people who like them.
Right about HK not being for poors, but I don't know if you followed it but the VP9 was cheap-ish when it first came out. Looking at the prices today, I guess it was a "low low introductory rate". Or would be if they sold them on telethons 😂
@@phxrider950 I would like to add an HK or two to the collection, just haven't prioritized it yet. They always seemed to be just that little bit more expensive than a Glock, Springfield, S&W, etc but the price of pistols is creeping up with each new model I feel.
I got mine for 511 shipped. I was surprised when it came with all of the extra mags. I thought I would have to wait on those in the mail…
I'm in the market for the XD-M Elite Compact 3.8" 10mm, for cc... do you have this model or have you had any experience with it, and if so do you recommend it? I've shot the G20 Gen 3 plenty and love it, just not practicable for concealment.
Good video..I have the Springfield XD-Mod2 9mm and the XDM Elite 45acp I carry Both and both are fantastic firearms Springfield makes awesome weapons no Doubt about it..
What's the biggest pros of the XDm Elite line?
I have had 4.5 XDM for 8 years with over 4000 rounds with no mechanical malfunction, ony weak mag spring from keeping it loaded 24/7/365.
Just upgraded to XDM Elite 5.28 with Holosun dot. 1st week, but I love it. Put rounds on steel at 135 yards, which I could never do with pistol before.
Good stuff! What Holosun did you put on it? Do you feel the XDm Elite is a marked improvement over the older XDm?
Not just the internet. My local gun shop hates them too. No Springfield’s in the shop or range rental. No chance to shoot the new Echelon. The person behind the counter hadn’t even heard of it. 🙄
I have several HS Produkt firearms. Not a single issue with any of them. The oldest being 13 years old. Lost count on how many rounds have gone through it.
A lot of places and people will never forgive Springfield for supporting anti-gun legislation in 2013 or 2014(I think), which I understand. It is surprising they hadn't even heard of the Echelon thought, tough to miss the release day on social media 🤣
man I can't stand gun shops like that. My local shop I used to frequent got bought out and the new owner is a major snob. He also raised the transfer price. Needless to say, I've stopped going there.
I kind of thought the XD line had shut up many of the naysayers over the years because they have been such reliable and nice shooting pistols.
Definitely not lol. The internet will never stop the shit pile on Springfield.
There are way more negative videos and comments about Glock. The XD has a few negative videos, but overwhelmingly the comments are positive. There are also several Glock vs XD videos, and it's not even close, the XD gets more love in the comments. @@Northwoods.Nobodies
@@gracedagostino5231 Honestly it's tough, in my time as a gun owner with social media the only real flop I've seen from Glock was the G44. I wasn't really aware of the Gen 3 or Gen 4 Glock 19 issues at time of release. Same thing goes for Springfield, I've had nothing but good experiences with my XDm's but social media and the Internet love to shit on them. My CZcams algorithm hasn't shown me many comparison videos honestly lol.
I have 3 Glocks, and 2 XD's, and like them equally, with a slight edge to Glock. Both the Glock and XD are reliable pistols. Type in XD vs Glock, and several videos will come up. Some of the videos preferred the Glock, and some the XD. But if you read the comments on the videos, even the videos that preferred the Glock, the thousands of comments are more favorable to the Springfield XD, and more critical of the Glock. Even the comments on THIS VIDEO are mostly favorable to the XD. @@Northwoods.Nobodies
You are 100% correct. I have owned my 2 XD's over 20 years with thousands of rounds through them, and never had any of the so-called failures the XD haters talk about. The people that own the Springfield XD love them, and they are the only people that their opinion matters. I think the title of this video is very misleading, as the XD isn't even close to being the most hated pistol on the internet. In fact, it is one of the most loved.
I carried an XD for part time security jobs. Worked for off duty cops doing security for MMA matches. They ALL carried Glocks ,so I switched to a Glock 19. ( But still think XD has more custom features than G19)
I haven't shot an XD in a long time, I would guess the trigger is still better than a stock Glock trigger?
Ive ran the xd 9 compact and its great never had a problem knock on wood.
Excellent! How long have you had it? My XDm's and XDs have been solid for me as well.
I truly do not understand the degree of hate the XDs get. There are a few select instructors/CZcamsrs who just absolutely have it out for the platform and I think that’s really poisoned the water. They represent an incredible value, and the Elite line in particular bests the Glock in stock trigger, stock sights, and in magazine flexibility (the compact models can have extended magazines with seamless grips OEM). The Xdm elite compact 3.8 10mm in particular really trounces the Glock 29 especially since there is no MOS model available yet. It’s too bad they are so under appreciated.
While I've had great success with my personal XDm's I wanted to share what others have reported. An XDm elite compared to a G29 isn't exactly a fair comparison given the grip length differences but you are correct, Springfield offers a whole lot more for the price compared to a stock Glock that's more expensive.
Worked behind a gun counter for years, saw multiple XD's shipped back to the factory with one in ths pipe bc the stupid grip safety broke and the slide could no longer be removed from the frame. People "hate" them because they are a terrible design.
@@KinoTechUSA69 Good info. What sort of failures did you see with other brands? How many are user created? 🤣
@Northwoods.Nobodies Theres a lot of brand fanboys, but if im being honest, most major companies are making a decent handgun. Only big brands I avoid are Taurus, Springfield, and Exeter Sigs (I like them about a year later when the recalls stop). Glock, CZ, HK, SW, and Walther have all been putting out good striker-fired pistols the last few years.
@@KinoTechUSA69 Sig is certainly questionable lately, social media has really increased the visibility on failures. Part of the reason I've avoided Taurus is my old held beliefs that they were junk. The GX4 we got wasn't a great example of the new Taurus pistol but we'll see what it's like after warranty repair hopefully.
I own an xdm in .40 cal and I have never had a single issue . Great gun I will buy the new xdm soon
What features would you like to see on the next generation of XDm?
You probably run two boxes a yr.
.
@@Northwoods.Nobodies it’s perfect as it is I wouldn’t change or add anything new
@@johchino1 Fair enough!
@@Northwoods.Nobodies just got the xdm elite in 10mm. Haven’t shot it but I can already tell it’s Gona be great . Same great features as the previous xdm s . If it shoots just as well then it’s a winner .
Had my 4.6 9mm M since they came out. No failures I can recall other than hold open. That might be me.
Cut grip to compact size, and stippled it aggressively. Holds 15 or 20. Installed fiber front sight. I like this configuration a lot. Full slide. Compact grip.
But it's a bedside gun now. Been replaced by a Hellcat Pro for carry. Same grip length. But the smaller width and weight is substantial. Full confidence in it after the reliability in the XD-m.
Do you run the compact mags then after cutting the grip down? I only have the 3.8 compacts but I know the full size mags come with a piece of grip on them to make up the difference between compact and full size mags. Overall you like the Hellcat?
@@Northwoods.Nobodies Yes, I bought a compact Elite mag, which is a 14 rounder. Bought 1 XD-m spacer sleeve for one 19 rnd mag, and used the piece I lopped off the grip for the other spacer on second 19 rnd mag. I tentatively used a miter saw with fine tooth blade and a file. Nailed it. Epoxied backstrap in place. And stippled it up.
I copied the Glock chop guys.
I don't know why this isn't a common configuration from the makers.
But it matters not. Back to full size on the nightstand.
The Hellcat 15 round mag is the same height as my 14 rnd XD-m. Gun is 1/4" skinnier. And very light. Even with an optic, it's very carryable.
Liked everything but the trigger. Shootable. Heavy, but worse than that, it pinches. Weirdest thing. Between tip and guard. Had to change it. Noticed it the next day. Bugged me to no end. 350 rounds rubbed a blister where I've never had one, on the inside edge of my index finger. Still there a week later. Lol.
I was never going to spend 200 on a trigger for the XD-m.
Had to for this. I think I'm gonna really like it now, though. Full M-Carbo with striker. Marked improvement. I don't think a finer carry piece could be asked for.
@@JP-yt3nk That's quite the customization, but sounds like you know your stuff. At least enough to be dangerous lol! We've only shot the Hellcat at the range once I think, maybe 50 rounds. Definitely a slick looking pistol. I pinch my finger between trigger and guard when my grip starts to slack. Irritating spot to pinch or blister.
I like the XD trigger better than the Hellcat trigger.@@JP-yt3nk
I have had my XDM 5.25 45 acp for 5 years a have had no issues very accurate and reliable gun like it so much i am buying a xdm 3.8 with optic osp
Great addition to your collection for sure!
Maybe go with 10mm for verity ? Or is the size verity more pressing?
I bought same one when they first came out. Excellent pistol. One of my favorites
10 years later I have no regrets or issues. 😊
I've really only had the one failure and I believe it to be user error. The guy shooting didn't have the best form.
I have ALL and I mean ALL XD models starting from early XDs XDm,XD-S,XD-mod2,XDEs all calibers and barrel size warrants , competition, duty, tactical subcompact, and compact, my oldest XDm 5K rounds, others between 1-2k rounds never not even one of these ever malfunction hardly got something broken, and I don’t babysit my guns articles you see probably written by Glock fan boys lol
What's your top 3 XD pistols you have? I have the 3.8 compacts and an XDs but no experience with any of the competition, duty, etc.
My fave ,xd-9 mod2 in 4.0 barrel ,XDm 9mm and 40 in 4.5 barrel, xdm 45 in 5.2 barrel and hellcat-pro 9mm
@@project-LEXUS-BMW We've shot the hellcat a little bit, seems like a solid shooter. We should probably get one to review at some point. The compact 3.8s I have are nice, I'm sure the recoil is even better on the longer 4.5s.
Yes the longer the less recoil , you shoot hellcat,try hellcat-pro is even better
@@project-LEXUS-BMW We'll have to give the pro a try!
My XDM rocks!
I always enjoyed my XDm. The overall weight of it is what really caused me to stop carrying it.
Do what I did with my 9mm XDM. Load it with Civil Defense 50 gr. rds. They are excellent for self defense have low recoil and really cuts down on the weight. Plus, they penetrate Level 3 body armor.@@Northwoods.Nobodies
@@ronthompson3609 Have you ever chronographed those rounds?
Love My XD 9MM, XD 45ACP & LOOKING FORWARD TO BUY THE XD ELITE 3.8 10MM. AWESOMENESS.
Compact 10mm for the sneaky stuff!
I’ve had a XD 45 for 9 years never had a problem. I have the SA35 SA XDM elite 10mm Hellcat Pro and XDM 45 which I bought used I have had feeding problems with it. The rest of them have been fine
What do you think of the SA35 and Hellcat Pro? We've got some trigger time with the SA35 but none on the Hellcat Pro.
@@Northwoods.Nobodies The Hellcat has a hard trigger pull and not very accurate. The SA35 is awesome and very accurate
@@bobyjones3905 Interesting, I figured the Hellcat would be better than that. I do enjoy shooting the SA-35 when I get the chance! Good feel in the hands, nice trigger, and good sights.
I can’t get over the looks
Not a fan of the Croatian Magic? Haha
Apparently the word "Remedied" is hard to pronounce at midnight. The second I saw it after posting this video I knew my mistake haha.
I bought my XDM 9 compact 3.8 in 2016. Probably about the height of the internet hating these guns. To this day, I've seen no issues beyond the typical squib that occasionally happens. That said, I've put over 10,000 rds through my XDM 9 with no noteworthy issues. I will say, with controversy surrounding this pistol, and it getting to my head, do worry about it from time to time and I'm looking to get a new EDC. But I still enjoy my XDM9 too much to get rid of her.
@@madengine5805 A reasonable breakdown of a possible controversial topic on the internet....weird! 🤣 What are you looking at for a new EDC?
I picked up one in 45 today for a good price while shopping for ammo came with 2 10 mags. we'll see what I think after shooting a few rounds. Like my Hellcat Pro so why not try it out for $399.99
Tough to beat at that price for sure! Let us know what you think after you get some rounds through it.
There are a bunch of fools out there who insist that the only safety they need is the one between their ears. But the grip safety in the opinion should be an industry standard. It is 100% effective, don't require any extra action to engage or disengage, and there is absolutely no issues with it. Except maybe if you don't maintain your pistol properly.
All the negligent discharges I have heard of have been with glocks or similar guns.
I have a XD mod2 subcompact. Amazing gun, high capacity, almost zero recoil in such a compact pistol. I was very disappointed when Springfield discontinued it.
Personally I don't agree about the grip safety being a standard. While at the range, under little or no stress, it's easy to have the proper grip and engage the grip safety properly. I've seen/read about defensive shootings or police shootings where people get hit in the hand and can no longer grip the pistol properly. I enjoy my XDms and have always had good shooting experiences with them but my Glock 19 has never had an issue either. Firearms are something to respect and be careful with. An ND happens from complacency or idiocy.
I totally agree and prefer the grip safety, especially for concealed carry. Prevents some of the more common negligent discharges.
I've had no issues with mine. I have the same one. But have been interested in a different trigger. Has anyone had good outcomes with any?
Fan of my xdm elite 4.5 tactical 9mm and xds mod 2 9mm. Replaced both triggers with powder river precision lightest on each with a 507c and k respectively. Also have talon grips pro on 4.5 and rubber on 3.3 figured out I prefer rubber. 3.3 has wierd click right before it fires that could be from me doing something wrong. Plan on either replacing actual trigger not in prp kit or grind down a mag release so I stop poking it with my giant hands. I seem to like the talon grips a lot so I'll probably be buying little tabs for all my mags in rubber and a few more points for thumb rests and index point. I have a griffin armament micro carry comp coming soon for my xdm elite that I'm pretty excited about. The xds is kinda snappy but has run great and I find the modularity of the mags for the guns size to be very pleasant. The 4.5 has been great overall, shoots very flat for me, pretty easy to work on, lots of stuff you can do with it and comes with so much for the price.
I owned a XD … before they were XD’s .. HS2000
I own a XDME Compact 10mm
Well built pistols…. Don’t let influencers influence you 🤣
I honestly,,, never , ever .. actually seen any problems with a XD
As I said
I have owned at least one .. since 2000 (24yrs and counting)
It's honestly one of the more interesting internet hate pieces I've seen. A couple days ago on IG someone had a meme about the failures of the XD. My personal experiences have always been positive with all three of my XDms and my XDs 🤷🏻♂️.
I love my XDM never had an issue I think people hate on it just because it's made in Croatia it's a hell of a gun
I agree with that. I feel like people were "deceived" by the marketing...even though it says Made in Croatia right on the pistol.
Not sure where the title "most hated" comes from. Most people, reviews, etc... I have seen actually prefer them over glocks. I have the 4.5" xdm and it has been flawless for me. It feels great in the hand, shoots very well and is very accurate. The trigger is really good. I actually prefer the grip safety which allows me to unholster and holster without engaging the grip safety which guarantees no negligent discharge due to a drawstring or piece of shirt catching on the trigger. Also when it is in the holster in the appendix position, and you bend over, you don't have to worry about a accidental discharge if the holster fails. There is a well known video where a guy shot himself in the groin accidently with a glock 43 when the holster failed and actuated the trigger. The only downside is the weight. That is the only reason I would consider the glock. Weight is an advantage when packing it in the mountains. Its a mixed blessing. The weight helps it out shoot the glock, but it is a disadvantage when packing it.
I had to go back and watch that video, I remembered it but hadn't seen it in years. First thing I noticed is the pack of Fudds in the comments 🤣. While I agree with you about the trigger being superior, and all of my XDms have been great to me, I personally don't like the grip safety on my carry gun. As far as the "most hated" title, it was presented as a question, not a statement.
I got the xdm-40 compact 3.8
I added that same pistol to my collection a few years ago! The heavier slide is nice with .40 cal
I have enjoyed Springfield firearms in their different calibers for many years. I have had no problems with any of these firearms what so ever, this after putting 100s of rounds through them. I for one would and have referred Springfield products to others who were looking for reliable and accuracy in their firearms. Like all things, you need to take care of your firearms guys. You return home from a day at the range, take the time to clean and oil your firearms. You take care of them, they will take care of you and your families when called upon to do so. Can things go wrong! Absolutely. But there are less of a chance this happening if we take the time to make sure our sidearms are ready when called upon. By keeping them cleaned and oiled. God Bless and stay safe guys. Oh and take a kid or two with you to the range from time to time guys, remember they are our future 2A ( PROTECTORS ) THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF GUN OWNERSHIP, AND LEARN HOW TO SAFELY HANDLE FIREARMS. Once again God Bless this great Nation we call ( America ) and its people. And God Bless you and your family President ( Trump ) sir we stand with you.
Off the bat I hate your short arms they seem so solid. My lanky arms seem to waggle around out there.
Are you flirting with me? hahahaha
@@Northwoods.Nobodies I'm six 5 and I'm trying to work on my stability. Arms feel wobbly when they outstretched. And right now pointing elbows out is fairly uncomfortable the way I've been experimenting with. Sometimes I get frustrated with people that have staulkier arms.
@@rodneyhobbs6507 A little above average height has some benefits in my case haha. I'm no real trainer but dry fire reps might help build your stability up over time.
@@Northwoods.Nobodies I dry fire a little. I'm probably being overly critical on myself. I've only been shooting for like a year and I'm mostly train by myself. I don't think dry firing should be current focus. I think I'll research a bladed stance I seem to prefer, dial in my grip and up my round count. Then dry fire then reassess once I plateau again.
XD tactical, over 6 years old, no problems, great shooting gun. If Springfield was doing some shady political stuff thats sucks and shame on them for real, but as far as "how does my firearm work?", GREAT!
They were indeed doing shady political shit in like 2014. There are still people that don't buy Springfield to this day because of that. I like and enjoy my Springfields and they've been good to me.
First off, I’m confused how you left the video saying you’d go for another handgun like Glock or S&W? Like regret?
I own a Service XD Compact 45Auto.
Looking for something that I can carry that has a little more punch than 9mm since I’m in a restricted state. My Kimber 1911 runs great but I’d like to keep that at home with the WC extended mag to get 10rds. I don’t see that as a CCW appendix going to well 😅
Found the XD45 compact has the same size of the G19.
The XD trigger shocked me, shot my pals 9mm and 40sw. The tigger was smooth and after some hate comments and decided to pick one up. Not everything you hear is true and society does love to go with the crowd especially when it comes to YT.
Shot it and was pleased. No 1911 but nowhere near my Glock. I’d say the amount of surface area where the slide rides helps and the polished feed ramp from the factory shows better quality. Fell in love with the grip angle too. Wish I had the XDM, it was just announced not too long ago here but nothing of 45Auto.
Been looking into 10MM for hiking as bear do appear, not a bad idea.
Hard choice for me being both fond of Glock and the XD now but SW MP 2.0 has been on my radar, just need to see how it rides to determine what to choose. Trying to determine at this point of shooting if recoil or trigger pull is more important(I think recoil is)
Good video and stay safe!
I own and enjoy shooting the three XDms I own but i ultimately made the switch to my Glock 19 due to it weighing less than the XDm. The 19 is still my preferred CCW to this day. The XDm trigger will always beat out a stock Glock trigger in my opinion but I haven't shot an XD in awhile. I can't recall how different the XD trigger is from an XDm.
Mark has a Glock 20 and its been good overall. We shot it quite a bit before he went to Alaska last year. The S&W M&P 2.0 10mm was a pretty good feeling pistol, we tried it at the range before he bought the Glock.
I'm hoping Minnesota doesn't become a restricted state in the future, mag limits are pretty ridiculous.
I would never get a Glock i think the other plastic guns are worthless XD M is always flat shooting and acrot and I like How it's got some 1911 features and reliability
That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him lol.
I wasn't a big fan of Glocks when I first started carrying, now I own 4. The XDm certainly has a nice barrel, heavy slide, and great trigger compared to a Glock though.
sounds like the bad comments are from obese john and his mcrib rant.99 percent of reviews ive seen are positive,blubber boy mcrib man is a glock swobswallower in my humble opinion.most hated gun?????
Who is this obese John you speak of?
I am a Springfield fanboy. I have a hellcat pro and 10mm and now a echelon.
What do you think of the Echelon so far?
@Northwoods.Nobodies I really love the gun, but it did have two things I had to fix. 1 My red dot came off the gun. I fixed it by putting blue stuff on it, lol. The second was the magazine. There is a plate at the bottom that should be out from some strange reason was on the inside. I went to load the gun, and the magazine fell a part. I fixed it and haven't had a problem, Sense. I love all my guns. However my list. 1 3.8 10mm with 5 15 round magazine. 2 hellcat pro I call it my first love. 3 echelon and number 4 my hand built AR 15. I spent a lot of money building it but I have to say it was fun.
To all the XD users.
Are there any aftermarket parts that mitigate these issues?
Also is it just worth it to get a proper battle tested handgun if reliability is a real concern?
Is it just better to just get a p226 and carry on? 😅
It depends on your budget honestly. If you can afford a P226 then you should be able to afford most striker fired pistols that the XD series competes with.
There's nothing more reliable than an XDM. The police and military in Croatia use them almost exclusively. I've never even seen or heard of a single issue with any of these guns.
Who said it has issues? The XD’s series hater’s are the one’s saying it. I have the XDm 4.5 45cal here in the Philippines, the only issue that I had is failure to eject when I used reloads while it was in the breaking-in period of around 50 rounds. Aside from that I don’t have any issues or problems whatsoever. It’s been with me for 11 years now.

@@AnthonyJ350 Thank you for watching and listening to the video!
Click bait title.
It wasn't a statement but a question. If you browse the internet you will find the hate on the XD series. I clearly stated that I like my XDms and plenty of others have expressed their love of the pistols as well.
Looks like Clickbait to me.
Guess you'll never know without clicking it...
Giu talks too much...get to the point!
I'll get there eventually
Sootch and Hickok vouch for its reliability. I think I'll take their word over a CZcams wannabe who thinks tactical T-shirts are cool. P.S. An AR gun mat doesn't make you a Navy SEAL.
Did you actually watch the whole video? I commented several times about how reliable that particular XDm has been in my 10+ years of owning it. I'm sharing my personal experience but also trying to let the audience know what others have reported on during their experience from what I've read.
The "tactical" T-shirt is in reference to the service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. That's why it says "13 of them".
Lastly the gun mat is just something I have to clean guns on that happens to make a decent background and protect the glass desk I filmed on.
Maybe be less of a Richard next time.
@@Northwoods.Nobodies , Thank you for sharing your experience's with this pistol, as well as including things that other people have encountered. I have the 3.8" in .40 and think its a very good gun. it has a nice trigger that is easy to shoot the gun well. It is a heavy girl though. I would not want to carry this all day that is for sure. I haven't had any failures with mine at all. This is just my 2 cents, and me not being a Richard, as requested at that 7min mark in the video!!! 😂
I got about 3k thru my XDM 3.8 9mm.....zero issues.
How old is the pistol itself? My XDm 3.8 is 10ish years old and has been solid for me.
those mentioned failures needs to categorized by class. XD's are in a class of their own within the XDMS line, which is some marketing bullshite. I hate Springfield from a marketing standpoint, their lack of aftermarket offerings really sucks. Everyone in this class offers threaded barrel affordable options accept ole Springfield. They finally release an extended mag for 9mm XD's for $50.00. I like my XD's, never ventured into those sub worlds.
They certainly are limited in aftermarket accessories compared to Glock or S&W pistols but their new line of XDm pistols have a decent amount of options. I always looked at the XDm as an upgraded version of the XD...Springfield's marketing worked on me at least. Factory mags are definitely getting more and more expensive.
A threaded barrel in a smaller one would be cool. I have the 4.5 inch tactical and 3.8 inch xdm elite threaded in 45 or 10mm sounds pretty sweet.
I think these guns are head and shoulders better then a glock
The trigger certainly is head and shoulders above any factory Glock trigger.
That's what I thought. Looks nicer. Was cheaper. With extras.
But the gun internals themself are just a little bit more extra than the Glock. Glock needs a trigger, sights, and recoil spring and/or rod to compare. And that's if you like the ergos of the Glock.
Which I do not.
Amen
Everything is better on the XDM's, except for weight. I don't think there is even much debate about that except maybe the grip safety which I love.
No it isn’t at all 😅
