Im buying a new Springfield XDM .45 Automatic. Anyone own one?

DUDE I LOVE THEM, ive had the .40 an .45, one thing i didnt like tho was the clip. Bullets were a bitch to get in right around the 6th bullet. Otherwise, very light gun, amazing hand gipping for shooting, recoil is pretty light for a .45, surprised me... over all amazing gun

I looked at one at a show last week. I also saw a gov issue colt 1911. I've been doing some reading about the colts. What are the changes to the custom.

specs


Springfield's 6 inch Long Slide models are an industry first. One inch longer than our Full-Size 1911-A1s, the Long Slide offers increased sight radius for improved accuracy and a longer barrel for higher velocity. Muzzle forward weight distribution reduces recoil and allows quicker shot to shot recovery.

Specifications

Stainless Steel PX9628L
Caliber: .45 ACP
Capacity: 7+1
Barrel: 6", 1:16 LH
Sights: Fully Adjustable Target
Sight Radius: 7.9"
Size: 41 ozs., 9.5" overall length
Trigger Pull: Specially tuned for competition at 5 to 6 lbs.

you shoot any USPSA? im going to start shooting USPSA next year. never shot any competitions yet tho. i may try some steel challenge too. i hear IPDA is crazy strict and the RO's tend to take the fun out of it.

I just shoot IDPA. I wanted to shoot 3 gun
and have the tools but the competitions are too far away.

I get to shoot at Quantico Marine Base
every once in a while. They have a 1000 yard range. We get out the long guns
and start tappin them in there. I still find it amazing that you can shoot a bullet over 1/2 mile and hit a 12 inch target. I am not as good as the other shooters at 1000.
My spred is more like 3-4 feet. They can tap 5 shots in 6 inches at 1000. Unbelieveble what thes weapons can do.

I have the XD 40. Nice gun. I also have glock 23 and the smith and wesson m&p40. I carry the glock because it fits in the waistband easily. I like how the XD shoots. The m&p is pretty sweet to. Recently been carrying a ruger lcp. Feels like nothing there but really convenient, just not so sure on it's stopping power.

Im a big fan of springfield. I have two operators long railed. Theyre hard to come by. Accuracy is great on them
