Springfield XDm Elite OSP

I'm looking for feedback on the Springfield XDm Elite. I handled one yesterday in a shop and was surprised at how good the trigger felt. It felt great in my hands, but I haven't shot one yet. Those that have them, what are your over all experiences? Thanks..........
 
I have have the 4.5 " version, have taken it to the range one time, put about 100/150 rounds down range; for me, points naturally, the ergonomics of the grip fit my hands very well, shoots great, the trigger is great for a factory trigger, I have not taken the Walthers out of the safe yet to compare, but the XDM Elite trigger is maybe a hair shorter reset than the PPQ??? maybe ??? but again I need to pull them out test at the same time; and I like the sights as well, my aging eyes pick them up very quickly. Will be purchasing the 3.8" as well as the 3.8" compact version over time.

I was running reloads though it and no failures of any type;

My "free" optic mounting plate was in the mail box today. When you buy one, you get to order an optic mounting plate from Springfield Armory. Mounting screws not included. Have to purchase those separately.

For me they are keepers. Will be putting the 3.8" on my CCW at next renewal.
 
I love mine. I got the 3.8" with full size grip, not the compact. To me, this was a great alternative to going full sub compact. The overall feel of the gun is perfect for my hands.

The trigger is better than the one on my XD9. And I didn't need to get Talon Grips for this like I did my XD9.

I put on my TLR-1 to carry in my T1C MSP Pro Flex AIWB holster.

Got lucky and received mine in time to add to my CCW which I just renewed.

Thanks! This is the one I think I want. The compact may be great, but it'll never replace my Shield Plus. As for the full size grip, It pointed very naturally for me. SHOCKINGLY well actually. MOST of the safety "features" disappeared; grip safety, trigger dingus, etc...

Anyone ever have any kind of reliability issues??

I probably have 500 rounds through it, factory and reloads work without any malfunctions. Has been 100% reliable for me. Not really surprised since my XD with over 2000 rounds through it also feeds anything.
