XDm .45 Compact (bought one! pic)
I just saw that Springfield Armory has a new XDm model, the 3.8 Compact in .45ACP. I've been waiting for them to make this pistol, and I am pretty excited about getting one.
Unlike the XD45 Compact, this one has a 9 round mag for the compact instead of 10. This results in the smallest grip of any XD or XDm Pistol.
I'm thinking with a Pearce grip extension this might be a really nice winter carry weapon.

Re: XDm .45 Compact
Without the grip extention, it is a little son of a gun (no pun intended) to be a .45. I bet you have to hold on to that sucker when shooting it. I'd be interested in knowing as I have never shot a compact, tupperware .45. I have shot a few Kimber carry 1911's and they had a decent kick to them, so I can imagine that this one will be "inspiring" to shoot.
BCM and Glock...for a bigger pile of 'cold dead hands' brass.

Re: XDm .45 Compact
Well it can't have much recoil compared to my S&W 340PD

Re: XDm .45 Compact
I can only imagine it being very similar to the Glock 30 with some better ergonomics.

The Beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

Re: XDm .45 Compact (bought one! pic)
How is the trigger?
I like a lot about this gun, but i have found the stock xdm triggers very um shitty.
I found both triggers to be terrible to me so the triggers are on a scale to me.. The Glock was a crisper suck and the XD was a more mushy suck. They are in the same family, SR9 (heavy suck), Glock (crisp heavy suck), XD( lighter mushy suck), M&P(heavy mushy suck).

Well it's the same as any other XDm.
It's about as good as a factory striker fired trigger gets, designed for self defense not target shooting. I have shot well in drills with my other XDm pistols.
