Graham found the XDM easy and very fast in its handling Off to the range and I first wanted to put a box or two of ammo through it on metal plates just to test reliability etc. Lock the slide back, push the takedown lever to the 12 o’clock position, retract the slide and then slip it forward off the frame! Quick and easy, although it does remove any excuse you may have for not cleaning. I think what most excited me was just how super simple the take down was. I did notice how well things fitted together, far more precisely than many of the sloppy service-type striker guns I have tried, which was encouraging. Springfield XDM Elite stripped to its main components It was clean, naturally, and a little dry but it did not need any attention. So far so good, time to field strip and give it a quick wipe just to be sure everything was in order. I was most impressed with the reset I could hear and feel it and it was a clean, short reset. No, this is not a high-end 1911 trigger but, to my mind, it is the best striker-fired trigger I have used to date. Now a bit more intrigued, I picked up the XDM and was pleasantly surprised how well it fit my hand without even changing the back grip for any of the other sizes.ĭry firing it a few times, I was impressed just how truly smooth the trigger was for a factory striker-fired gun. Basically, all you need is a holster and you can start competing in IPSC or other action matches. So now I was grudgingly thinking how well-appointed and supplied the XDM was from the importer.
