XDM back straps

I just picked up my XDm 5.25 45 acp. Very nice. I take it that BS #1 is small, then 2 ,3 getting bigger? I did not want to remove to test. The #1 is on now. Thank you

You are correct, #1 is smallest, #3 is largest.
My gun came with #2 on but I switched it for #1 because of my small hands

I'm a big guy with big hands - but after trying them all I found #1 to be the most comfortable.

Interesting how those little parts make a difference.

I have short fingers but normal palm. I started off with small to operate the 5.25. After some time I found I shot much better with the large. But mag release was more difficult to reach. Added an extended, not bigger around, mag release and everything fits great now.

I tried the medium and small a couple more times while at the range but the large just works better for me. It's definately worth trying them several times.

Maybe I should try this... I've never changed mine since I've owned it, came with the second attached and honestly felt great in my hands never crossed my mind to change it..

Mine also came with #2 installed....tried them all and ended up with #3 being the most comfortable fit.

I like #1 on my XDM the most personally, and I have large hands.
