NEW XDM 3.8 Lng Barrel - Page 3 - XDTalk Forums

Can't find the original XDm guns on the SA website (or XDm web page). XDm discontinued (unlikely), SA trying to force feed us the 3.8, SA webmaster faux pas? If u know the link to the original XDms, appreciate you post here.

thanks,

Springfield Armory - Introducing the XD(m) Polymer Handgun

Most of the links are the 4.5" XD(M)s. Also in the Gallery and Specs, Features plenty of the 'original' XD(M) content.

I guess I'm a moron cause I want one. I was considering buying another XD Service model since I gave mine to my dad a couple of years back and I miss it. I would rather have this one.

I think the new look of the Service Model is awesome and something I would consider buying for sure. I did not like the original XDm look at all. I would buy an XD tactical before I would buy the original XDm, this new Service Model XDm is sweet looking for sure.

I like it! And, imo, it's an overall good idea. The shorter muzzle does look a little better, it's slightly lighter and maybe somewhat easier to carry, idk, I don't carry my full size M. I don't regret my purchase and wouldn't rush out to buy one of these. I would think either a .45 version of the full size M would've been a better idea or a sub compact with the M features. Then i might consider going shopping.

Anybody have an opinion on going from the 1 piece guide rod to the two piece system? And the 3.8 designation would've gotten a down vote from me had I been in that meeting.

I may be all alone but I like it. I haven't gotten my hands on one but it looks cool. The new serrations ad a really nice style characteristic. If I was to buy one it would be the bi-tone with optional Fiber Optic Sight.

The 3.8" XD(m) 9mm gets my vote. When/if they come out with a .40 S&W I may buy one to add to my already growing collection of .40 S&W pistols.

StangerDanger.... You better be Korean like me or I will find this post very racist! So what if I'm a gun-toting, Korean, bush-disliking, Republican.... You can't blame me on not liking bush. LOL! But seriously... I am Korean and you better be to make a comment like that.... LOL.... But really. Seriously! What was Springfield thinking bringing a gun with a shorter barrel and the same size grip. I guess that's why I own S&W M&P's instead of Springfield XDM's. If the Croatians could get it right I might buy one... On the other hand if S&W would make an M&P the size of the G19 than they'd put glock out of business. Oh yeah! Did I just do that? Yes I did.... I just Hi-jacked the thread because I'm Asian.... Guiness Rules!

I like the looks of it. I kinda wish it came in .45 with maybe a slightly shorter grip.

Even funnier looks to me like it says 3.8 not SC
