difference between xd and xd-m - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hey gang,
I been trying to figure out what all the hoopla is about with the xd-m.?
I looked at what pics I could find. Other than the squarish look of the xd and the interchangeable back straps of the xd-m is there any other real difference ?
Anybody got a good site for me to get some better specs ?
Thanks
Jack

^^ No need to squeeze the trigger when fieldstripping.

Almost like saying what's the difference between a Cobalt and a Z06... both made by the same company, both are very different platforms.

I cannot wait till they release an XDM-C... I'll be all over it. I'm glad they went with the replaceable backstraps... I love that feature on my newer HK pistols!

different sites, mag release easier to get too, (we are still going to carry extended mag releases though),a slide stop with a slight shelf.

Is the XDM replacing the current XD, or will it be another model in the line?

IMR · 05-23-2008, 10:23 PM

No sir. Tom Gresham talked to Springfield about this, and they said the original line of XD's will remain.

Are the 12-round magazines interchangeable with the 16-rounders or are they too short to properly fit? I'm wondering based on the idea of having a regular XD in the house with the new model, grabbing the wrong magazines out of the case on the way to the range and being stuck with non-functioning magazines.
