XDM Tourture Test

July 12th, 2008 16 comments

Yesterday I posted about Springfield Armory’s new XDm. Today I put it through the ringer.  The torture tested XD(m) performed perfectly.  I ran 200 rounds through it in about 5 minutes.

The only problem with the pistol’s performance was due to ammo.  A re-loaders nightmare happened not only 1 time but 3 times within a few minutes of each other.  The reloaded ammo did not have powder or had bad powder when the round fired.  The fast burn rate primers forced the bullet into the barrel.  Since I know the re-loader, me, I want give them too much grief.

The near 250 rounds I ran through Springfield Armory’s new polymer pistol were on target from about 5 yards away. I still have not done a complete test.  I If you have any specific test that you would like to know about don’t hesitate to contact me.  I will do the the test within reason.  (ie.  running over the XDM with a truck is not an option).
