My First Range Report XDM .45

[JerseyGuy]

I promised you all a range report when I finally got to shoot my new XDM .45, and here it is! I finally got out to the range tonight. I joined a local pistol club and got to put a box through the gun during orientation.
What a pleasure to shoot! I was a bit all over with the first 2 magazines, and I have a whole bunch of excuses ready to go, but I finally settled down and put some good groups together. The gun fired very smoothly, more so than I was expecting. I was expecting a greater recoil from the .45, but I really didn't notice it after a few rounds. Looking forward to going again as soon as I can.

I can now officially join the count...50 rounds fired, no malfunctions!!!

nice! throw that 50 rounds into the rolling round count thread!

Congrats on the new XDm .45 and welcome to the club!

Nice! I'd love to fire a XDM45 next to my XD45 and compare. I have an XDM9 and I can feel how much tighter it is but with the .5" longer barrel and different caliber it's not a direct comparison.

Zulu Hotel, if you ever come Colorado-way with your XD, I'll let you shoot my new XDm alongside your XD. Is your XD a Tac with the 4", or a Service?

4", I'll keep that in mind thanks!

I still love my XD45, it needed grip tape badly but once I put that on there it's like a favorite old pair of jeans! I just love shooting it even though there is an improved version. I'm excited to get a trigger job on it when I get home.
