I bought an XDM ELITE. I’ve owned hundreds of guns. This is one of the most awesome I’ve ever shot. Great price and great features.
These are bad ass in 3.8” full size 20rd mags, glad I got one before prices went up!
Best striker-fired trigger I've ever felt. The thing is a laser. WTF aren't more mfrs using OT stops?
Added optic sight and now it is even more awesome. Hex/Dragonfly.
@@beck4218 is the ttigger more lighter and smoother compare to Glock triggers?
@@gutadin5 Huge difference. Feels like a 3lb trigger. Will not be disappointed.
I have the XDM-10. The safety was one of the selling points. Backpacking with it as woods defense. I wanted it as safe as possible. It is likely to never be used for it's purpose and I don't want to get shot in the leg climbing over something.
I love the grip safety; makes the weapon eminately safe and I have never had an issue with it.
Another stellar review. Great combo of specs, B roll, opinion, and humor. Keep them coming!
Much appreciated!

Great review. Sold me! I ordered the Springfield Elite OSP after watching your thorough video review.
This is an excellent review!!!! I am sold! Purchased because of your review. Thanks
Hope you enjoy it!
Wow, excellent presentation! I am so glad I found your channel. I'm a Drill Sergeant stuck in California, and I can't wait to get to a duty station where I can buy this gun! I subbed!
It's not a bad one that's for sure. Good luck with leaving Cali.
Mine fits in the xdm paddle holster the original xdm’s came with in the hard case with double mag holder.
Wonderful and comprehensive review! I'm definitely getting this firearm after watching this vid!
hope it works out for you.
I was considering picking up this model. I think your review just sold me so 👍
This was a more thorough review than most. Thx
Thanks for watching - got a couple more pistols on the way - check back soon!
Great review. You covered a lot of territory that many overlook without boring me.
Thanks man - trying to find the formula that makes it work.
Great review. The third one I have watched on the XD-M Elite 4.5 OSP. Yours is the best. Now I have to get one, looking for a 2nd love. My first one is my IWI Masada. Thanks for the video!
That's high praise - thank you!
Quite a thorough review. Thanks again 🤙
Thanks for another well-done and informative review.
Thanks for watching - cheers.
Just got this gun today, great video
Great video. In-depth review that’s most appreciated. I love my XDM Elite Tactical, one of the best shooters out of the box.
Hey where did you find the tactical versions I only see normal elites but I want the threaded barrel
Awesome Review! Thank you
Nice review!! Great content! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
My first 9mm and first optics pistol. Put on a Holosun 507c and first 200 rounds were fantastic!
Good choice great set up!!
Great review and awesome gun!
Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Great review. Your point about safe re-holstering is very important. These are great guns overall and with the grip safety and loaded chamber indicator, it's especially good for beginners.
I've started messing around with Berettas recently - I love how they reholster with the hammer. so nice.
Most definitely would buy this over the FN.
Springfield xdm is my wife and I guilty pleasure because we both shoot them well. Great review. I'm really looking forward to trying one out with the new trigger.
they are pretty easy to do well with.
I was gonna say the same thing. Im pretty much a plain Jane when it comes to the pistols I buy. I pretty much keep them how they come in the box and the XDm-9 3.8 Compact that I just picked up 2 months ago is excellent just as is. I'm guessing most Springfield Armory XDM"s are like that. Great review. Thanks
Well done my friend👍.
Be great if everyone planned,rehearsed presentation,edited and spoke with clear and clean voice and language...Thank You 👍😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.
Good job on the review and answered all the stuff I wanted to know including trigger weight. I will now subscribe to your channel...........THANKS
Thank you for the kind words - and thanks for watching. Cheers.
Great review
Great job on the review.
Thanks! Hope you guys are weathering the quarantine well.
Just picked one up yesterday!
Nice Review, Always good to have other offerings for the people. Carry on
The Springer base pads with the Grams kits apparently get 24 rounds in them with this mag combo... that's not insignificant.
TheHumbleMarksman Not at all, I also have the SP Mag set ups for my P-10F, P-09 and it also allows 24+1.
Thank you for commenting on another gunners channel. I enjoy when I see that!!
douglas salley 👊🏼 Carry On
XDM guy here. Wanted to second your observations on the grip safety, especially the part about making it safer to re holster. The only trouble I’ve had with it is clearing the weapon without a positive grip, as when trying to catch the chambered round. slightly annoying but has never stopped me from cycling it under pressure.
I own a 1st gen XD .40 Tactical, it was great then and XDS Tactical I like even better. You can't go wrong with the XD pistols. They Rock
Hell yes! I bought one it gets here tomorrow !!! Great video by the way!!
Awesome! Thank you!
looked at one today, hoping it's still there tomorrow, nice review
Did you get it!!?
Sounds like a solid rig for a good price. Looking forward to getting my hands on one. And the remark about lefties was gold.
They always want to talk about the fact they are left handed like we care.
I got mine at Academy for 650.
5 magazines, hard and soft case,owb holster, reloader,2 barrels,osp plates,the whole 9.I looked for a couple of days and found out that was a great deal and jumped on it. For that reason I'm glad people don't like them I would have missed out.
That's a strong bargain right there.
I believe that kit you got is not the new OSP Elite
Thanks for a very competent and knowledgeable review. I wasn't sure if I wanted an XD, however, I will buy the XD-M in the 3.8" format. Again, I'm convinced this is the best home security firearm for me.
I picked up the 3.8 XDM Elite Osp about a year ago. I was raised on 1911's so the Grip Safety isn't a big deal to my Manuel of Arms. I am impressed with the trigger and those sights are surprisingly nice. I have EDC a Glock 30SFT since 2012 and it is my " go to weapon". Accurate, simply and reliable. Not a Glock Fan Boy ( it is my only Glock that I have ever own).
The XDM would be a great EDC , Home Defense or Woods Gun. I pickup some extended magazines and spacers and it just fits my large hands perfectly.
I had a Sig 320 .45 ACP on layaway but couldn't find a Compact Moduler, so went with the XDM.
Hope you make your choice and just know the XDM has treated me well.
Semper Fi
I have the original XDM and I love it! So considering getting this at some point.
I got the Trex Ragnarok holster for this and it has got to be the best holster I've found to date. Very fast on the draw and easy to re-holster. You'll need to purchase the safariland QLS attachments for it, but the best of the best out there.
I got the same gun yesterday. Holosun 407c x2 as well. Awesome so far!
Perfectly detailed video.
awesome review...subbed.!!!
I got this gun and swaped the irons for shorter glowy ones to fit a shoulder holster outside of that I have no complaints as a first hand gun for me.
I did purchase this gun and I absolutely love it!!!
I just bought this gun yesterday. I was on the fence between this and the FN 509 and I really wish I would’ve seen this video first. Would’ve helped me make my decision much faster. Awesome content man.
Thanks for the kind words - may it serve you well.
Man, you're awesome. Great review👍👉
Glad you enjoyed it!
I had the original XDm from 2008. Never had an issue with the grip safety and zero malfunctions in thousands of rounds. Love that gun. Just sold it to by this one.
Yeah had the original xdm 4.5 gonnaet it go for the 3.8 45 acp better carry option
I picked up one at a gun store just to look at it. Now I want one sooo bad!
Nice job!
Thanks!
With the known, repeatable and still unresolved issues on the FN 509, such as hydrolocking and the striker breaking, this XDM Elite OSP seems like a steal! Great review!
I haven't followed the 509 much since I shot one and didn't like it.

Thanks for the review, I've been curious about this one as well
Glad I could help!
First time owner here. Just purchased this yesterday. Very excited to get this on the range. Thanks for the detailed review. Subbed.
Welcome to the party!
Please do a couple things for me and make the gun owning experience as positive as you can.
Learn the 4 laws of gun safety and live by them as if it were a religion - Never EVER assume a gun is unloaded - you should verify the status of the chamber every time you pick up a gun if you plan on handling it. Even when you know it's supposed to be unloaded or loaded. www.corneredcat.com/article/firearms-safety/the-four-rules/
Since this is a gun you intend to use for defense - get a cheap safe to store it in - presuming you live in a house with others who don't need access. Amazon has some options looks like RPNB makes some options that is going to fit your gun - this gun is taller than most due to the magwell, extended mags, and suppressor height sights. It seems expensive but you're only buying it once.
Add on a 5th law that's absolutely important - NEVER set a loaded gun down on a surface in your house. You can get called away and forget about it. If you HAVE to set it on a surface that's not your gun safe or holster - take the time to unload it, put the mag in your pocket with the loose round from the chamber.
And if I could take up 10 more minutes of your time - maybe check out these two videos of mine - they will help you get off to a strong start on the journey of ownership.

@@TheHumbleMarksman will do! Thanks for the reply and resource links! Luckily I've been a safety manager in my workplace for 20 years so it's easy to drive safety into my head. Can't wait to get some good training classes in.
MikeLund72 how do you rate it? Would you recommend it as a beginner gun? I’m thinking of getting it for my first weapon as well.
@@blackintellect2150 I'm enjoying it a lot so far. Obviously I can't compare it against other guns because I don't have that experience. But it shoots really, really well and accurately out the box. I consider myself to be a novice shooter and this had me on target consistently.
I did purchase a Holosun red dot (waiting on it to ship). My eyesight isn't the best and I was amazed how much the dot helped me at distance on a friend's gun.
MikeLund72 I appreciate the info man. Thanks. I think I’ll follow through with the purchase.
Great Video👍
Thanks 👍
Nice review
Thanks man. Curious how the Ruger American Competition Pistol stacks up against it.
@@TheHumbleMarksman Haven't had my hands on one. For more on the Ruger and more in depth go over to thefirearmguy he has more detail on it.
This is my third XDm and it's the best of the pack. Carried the XDm .40cal as my service weapon and a 5 inch long slide 10mm as my bear medicine. Just one outstanding weapon!
Compact or full size?
1st time viewer... really enjoyed ur vid thx
Damn good review and you a pretty good shot too👍
Thanks man!
Great review, thanks! One correction though. The magazines are stainless steel, not chrome plated.
Great vid. My first but not last time here !
Welcome!
Just got mine last week. I love it! The trigger is super smooth. Although you can feel it hit the wall, it's still a very smooth pull. The grip fits my small hands very well, but it's a bit on the longer side, so I'd assume it would fit someone with bigger hands well. It's super easy to get familiar with this gun. Works smoothly and it's a very aesthetically pleasing.
You need an elite mag for this gun though
if you ditch the magwell regular XDM mags will fit.
@@TheHumbleMarksman XDM 10rd mags won't fit just fyi
Is the magwell removable and be able to be reattached?
The gun was on my list to get but after this review it moved to the next gun I buy. It’s now number 1 on my list.
Thank you for the review. I'm looking hard at buying an optics ready pistol that has the ability to cowitness the sights. This one, and the S&W M&P 2.0 are the only ones that I've found so far that fit that bill (in the 9mm chambering). I really like all of the detail that you put into this review. Thanks!
Consider the Shadow Systems MR920 as well - a little pricy but pretty sweet.
I will definitely take a look. Thanks!
I love this gun I've had it about 3 4 weeks now and it's my first pistol but right off the bat i have good accuracy as I'm getting accustomed to it and defiantly getting the mantix very shortly plus some laser caps. I can find ammo at this point with no prob on 9mm but the extra savings with dry firing will defiantly help long term. I do love this gun though..
Glad you're loving it man - they're solid pistols!
Yes, just bought the elite precision
Beautiful weapon. Trigger amazing
yeah it's not bad at all.
It is an Excellent Pistol and I Love Springfield Armory XD's . It handles Very Well .
Yes, yes, and yes!!!!
Sold! 😊
I bought 2, one in 10mm and 9mm, and both are the best shooting pistols I own bar none. Just got my 9mm with 5 mags for $499($541 out the door). Can’t beat that deal!!
Great review! Looking into getting one soon
They aren't bad at all.
I just picked up one of these from Palmetto during their Veterans Day sale for $460, which is too good to pass on imo. I have an OSS RAD 9 that I only use with my PCCs but now I have a pistol that will accept it for some range fun.
Awesome video and Great presentation. I'm interested in getting one. But the one that has the 2 interchangeable barrels of a threaded 9mm barrel and a regular 45acp barrel. Is that OSP Springfield good!?!? It's like two pistols in one.
Recently bought this and put a venom sight on it, great trigger, great fit and great accuracy, much better all around than my glock 34 which cost more.
it's a heck of a value.
How well does the Venom cowitness with the iron sights ?
Just picked mine up from my FFL today. Hoping to get out and shoot it tomorrow. Sadly I didn’t get the red dot adapter plates in the box. Have seen online other buyers missing them as well. But Springfield customer service had them shipped out.
They're solid pistols - I bet you like it.
Thank you reviewing XDM ELite. I have been looking to get hands on with the Elite as a replacement for my XDM 5.25 but no one has had them in stock yet.
Toyse Woody I was able to snag one before the pandemic and even then they were rare just being released.... Don’t be afraid to use Facebook because that’s how o got mine.... some smaller FFLs love to post new inventory
yeah all the guns are gone now it seems.
Sportsmanoutdoorsuperstore has them
Toyse Woody what made you trade? I have the desert XDM 3.8
@@nick__cars I have a Vortex Red Dot on the 5.25 and I want to put it back to stock and use a Springfield XDM that is made for a Red Dot . Nothing wrong with the 5.25 or the other Springfield pistols I own .
Solid review. The tactical version is nice and a solid retail price to start, but, for me, I would prefer the precision version. IF they decide to offer that version with an optic cut, I would really consider purchasing one...even offer the 5.25" version as a TAC + type with a threaded barrel. That would be waaaay cool.
a 5.25 with a TB would be insane lol. Such a long gun.
Excellent review... LOVE IT! And, yes, I would totally pick the Elite over the FN :)
I love my 509's (I have 3) but damn this is a great looking gun and the build quality is nice.
It's a pretty awesome value out of the box for sure.
Just ordered it on line. Absolutely stoked to get it. Best Xmas gift to myself!
I carry this on duty and needed a level 2 retention holster. Only place I could get one was at DARA Holsters. They custom make the holster and it is a very good holster.
Great video. It’s funny, the gun looks tan in a lot of photos but it is definitely green in person.
Nice review! Bought the XDM-ELITE 4 5 and sent out for 2 - 22 rd clips. Love this gun and now possibly looking into the 3.8 ELITE for carry.
I was surprised they didn't do a 3.8 OSP
I run the delta point pro! I have the FDE and marching red dot! No the sights aren’t tall enough but it’s super close! But I love the sight
So excited to get mine! Never buying another FN product again!
What caused You to dislike FN? Not associated with them but have been looking into the 509 or this xdm
@@stevewaskin4906
I had a PN9 that didn't feed steel ammo. It was prissy.
@@leetroy808 definitely the ammo issue here to I picked this XD and it’s beyond perfect not one issue since unboxing it
Just got one for 499 with 6 mags one 35 and the rest 22rd can’t wait
Yes sir brother I thought I was going to damage the PIN to my back strap the first couple times it was so ungodly hard to get out and get back in.
yeah you have to hammer it.
Looks a lot like my 509 tactical now I will have to compare
Really considering this gun more now. I was going to go for the FN 509 Tac but it’s way more money especially when you add the Apex heavy duty Striker and trigger. ($200 more for those two add ons) we’ll see.
I want one!!!
David is the step dad you’ve always wanted 🤩
I want this gun so bad, so I'm thinking about picking one up after I get my new shotgun 🤔 nice video thanks it helps out alot!
I just got one a week ago for about $650...buy one, you won't be disappointed
Just ordered mine today from primary arms for $550 in black.
@@migiddymike1403 that's a steal.. You got the 4.5 inch with the threaded barrel for that price?
@@marcusgoodwin2772 yes that's correct
Whats a good owb holster for this hammer. Good retention and good quality in general.
IMO, it’s the best tactical pistol on the market with the most and best safety features…and deadly accurate at 25yrds.
What holster were you using? great vid! Just bought one and now the search for holsters begins.
PS my manual and also the card included in the box identifies the 3 plates and what sights go with them.
My manual was an XDM manual - not an elite and there was no card for optics. I used a Safariland 578 - which isn’t bad - but isn’t great.
Hey I just got mine, did you get a holster yet? Please let me know which one if you did 😉
This is possibly the absolute most underrated pistol in the world. I have heard so many people talk 💩 about Springfield but that is their mistake. Trigger is good but not quite as good as my CZ P10C or the PPQ triggers. The accuracy is second to none if you do your job. I put on the holosun, a weaponlight/laser and a Springer Precision compensator. It is the fastest gun back on target I have ever personally shot. I shot plenty of different loads with the compensator and have had zero malfunctions.
I personally went with a minicomp from Lakeline llc. Don't care for that huge comp on the end of this weapon.
This said there wasn't alot of muzzle rise before but now she runs like a sewing machine and I don't have all that additional bulk on the firearm.
@jw5297 Nice. I was on the fence about putting a compensator on, but since this is not my carry piece, I figured I would try one. I am really impressed so far. It shoots any ammo I feed it and didn't need to change springs. The extra bulk is no biggie for me, just keeps the muzzle a little heavier. I may try a smaller compensator on my PDP Pro...
@@thetacticalape8852 Like you my XDM is not a conceal carry, but I have gone to it over the G17, I just shoot it better, and has factory threaded barrel, and suppressor height sights which work with my can.
I also happen to have a RDS on it, my first, went cheap to see how I liked it, its an ADE and so far works but definitely going to a holosun for the shake awake feature, I have holosun on each of my ARs and AKs and took off an eotech and all my LVPOs as let's face it, in a law abiding society, when am I actually going to need an LVPO? Its against the law to point a weapon at someone, and I have binos on my chestrigs and plate carriers for PID, and weapons are zeroed at 36 yards so 30-300 yards is literally point and shoot. And shots that far would be murder not self defense so red dots are my choice for defensive weapons.
Having to turn on a weapon sight or check to see if the battery needs replaced is a bad bad time in a gun fight.
Liked the review... What OWB holster works for this pistol bc of the suppressor sights and extended threaded barrel?
I was using a Safariland 578 and it worked OK - I would want a proper Kydex one for gaming - don’t know who is making them but I bet red hill tactical is
I was between the sig p320 M17 and the XDM elite on PSA they have it for 499 + 3 19rds + 1 35rds mag. A steal
Same here. I even had the Sig 320 on layaway. During the layaway period couldn't find a modular lower in .45 acp.
I changed to the XDM Elite OSP. I haven't owned a Springfield XD since the 1980's or early 90's. It was called _ _ 2000? Traded it for something, I forgot lol.
XDM is a nice .45 acp for my needs. Reminds me of an 1911 ( my first an favorite pistol of all-time).
Sighting System surprised me. It looks like stock Glock junk sights but on the range THEY WORK!
Great review! My unit came with a card documenting the mounting plates, and your guess was correct - plates are for Vortex Venom, Leopoldo Delta Point, and Trijicon RMR/SRO. Mag well is removable, and magazines come with alternate base plates for a shorter mag at 20-round capacity, which I believe will keep the gun out of open class.
yeah the gun is convertible to CO - no problem. Would have been nicer if it didn't need to be (barring the magwell).
Canik elite sub compact, shadow systems mr918, and mr920 all cowitness right out of the box. Own the canik subcompact and the mr918 and they are both great. Never tried an xdm though
I am getting an MR920 on Friday - I forgot about them having cowitness irons.
what don't you like about the canik subcompact? I'm really interested in that model or the combat elite. problem with the combat elite is u gotta remove the rear site for optics
Buying now...
Love mine. I lightened my trigger to 3.5lbs
great reviews have great B-roll and you gots great b-roll;)
Thanks man. Trying to find the formula to keep it visually interesting while conveying information.
