Re: Springfield XDM 9mm
This first part was as of Feb 20th. Trigger has smoothed out but I still do not like it. Cleaned it after about 2600rds.
----------
It has a little over 2500rds through it since I bought it in January. Majority of it being Win and Atlantic Arms Ammo, with 115gr bullets, several hundred Fed+P+ 115gr. No malfunctions, has not been cleaned yet.
5 shots at 15yds:
I have a nasty flinchbuckjerk, easily noticed whey I use snap caps, this tends to push the shots left. I think it is the long/heavy trigger pull that is jacking w/ my brain.
Typical at 25yds, 10rds. Red sq. is 5 shots from 1911:
Went and ordered a new XD(M) from Springer Precision on the 5th of March and had it in hand six days later. Got the 4# trigger and Dawson sights(narrow front with fiber optic insert):
The trigger and sights are both big improvements in my book. I will probably send my first in and have the same/similar work done.
Three shot groups from the SP XD(M)@ 50yds, ammo was from Atlanta Arms Ammo, 115jhp:
red, benched slowfire, bit of a wind from L-R.
green, benched, shot a little faster during a lull in the wind
blue, offhand, little or no wind
I have about 500rds through the SP XD(M), even cleaned it tonight. A bit more info posted at the XD forum but this give the basic rundown.
I really like the platform, holster 'works', mag holder 'works' and the adjustable backstrap is nice(small for me). By 'works', they are usable but I think there are better options on the market. Springer Precision does great work, if you need it.
