And, unlike some handguns, the steel tab on the right actually works as both a slide stop and a slide release, so if you’re a lefty this gun now does everything equally well for you. With the XD-M Elite line Springfield has added a slide lock on the right side of the gun. The XD and XD-M pistols have always had ambidextrous magazine releases, but the slide-lock lever has always been single-side. You will be challenged to grab this slide and not find serrations under your fingers. They are still flat-bottomed, but the serrations are now twice as wide and cover more real estate on the slide. The forward and rear cocking serrations on the XD-M Elite’s slide have been changed-for the better. For the ABG (anything but Glock) crowd, the Springfield XD and XD-M pistols have always been popular because they have a grip angle similar to the 1911. I think the company is right.Īs polymer-frame, striker-fired pistols go, the XD-M pistols have distinctive looks. In contrast, the new 5.25-inch XD-M Elite is called the Precision, with Springfield thinking this iteration of the pistol would be just as useful as a defensive/tactical pistol as it would be as a competition pistol. Springfield introduced a 5.25-inch XD-M about 10 years ago, aiming it toward competition shooters, and officially, it was/is the 5.25 Competition Series model. As of right now, the XD-M Elite pistols are available only in 9mm. And then there’s the pistol we’re reviewing here: the 5.25-inch XD-M Elite Precision. So it should be no surprise that the brand-new XD-M Elite line already has five models, including a 3.8-inch version two 4.5-inch versions (one black, one flat dark earth) and an OSP (Optically Sighted Pistol) Threaded model with a 4.5-inch barrel, tall sights and ready to accept a slide-mounted red dot. They are all available in different sizes, finishes and calibers. All have polymer frames, and all are striker-fired except the XD-E, which has an external hammer. First came the original XD series, then the enhanced XD-M, the compact XD-S and the newer XD-E.
