XDM 9mm
Springfield Armory is now Shipping the XDM 9mm.
Springfield’s extreme duty has made a name for itself over the past few years. The 9mm XDM is the latest in the line. The 19+1 magazine capacity of the 9mm over the 16+1 capacity of the 40 S&W is a much hyped addition to Springfield Armory’s line of excellent weapons.
The specs of the 9mm are similar to the XDM 40 S&W. With:
Match Grade 4.5″ Match Grade Barrel with a fully supported ramp
rigger pull of 5.5-7.7 lbs
Overall empty weight of 32 oz.
The XD(m) 9mm Luger is available in all black or Bi-tone Stainless Steel and Black.
I have not seen an XDM-9 as apparently the market demand is higher than the current supply. Springfield is certain to meet demand as it has been highly marketed and anticipated ever since the release of the XDM .40 S&W.
The reliability and review of the 9mm is most certainly similar to the .40 caliber review we did awhile back.
Do you have the XDM 9mm yet? Would you like to do a guest review on Bullet Boy?
[...] Currently only a .40 S&W is available. Different Varieties are sure to follow Update 11/10/08 : The XDM 9mm is available [...]
Fired mine today. First handgun bought. 100 rounds, easy to do with 19 rnds mags. Nice gun. shooter error accounted for those hole outside the ring. (:-)
A gentleman at one of my local ranges is trying to convince me to not buy a XDM-9 as he claims they have firing pin, barrel, and slide problems.
Can anyone clue me into what these problems are, or was he just blowing smoke?
This will not be my first weapon purchase, however, it would be my first Springfield offering and also the first 9mm in my safe.

I purchased my XDM 9mm around Christmas. Since then I’ve shot around 500 rounds through it. Not many, however, before purchasing this I researched the fa and found very few negative reviews. I took my CPL class as well, in January, and not knowing I even had the Springfield XDM, he recommended this gun to the class, as well as others. I personally like the way it feels, it’s the most comfortable fa in my hand, and it’s weighted (very well balanced) when it’s loaded.
I also own a Sig Sauer .40 p229. I am indifferent about comparing them. They are two very different guns in my opinion even though the XDM carries with it many Sig characteristics. The Sig, is much bulkier, wider grip, and heavier. XDM is slick, light, and very ergonomical. I enjoy both of my fa’s for all those reasons and more. I’ve not heard any negatives about the firing pin, or slide issues. Of course I’ve not owned it long, and it’s only been on the market for a short while. The 500 rounds shot out of it, were, well very pleasing.
can you add a manual saftey to the XDM 9mm
