I just bought a Springfield Elite 3.3 in .45 cal. I also ordered springs to increase my 10 round mags up to 13 round mgs. Smooth pistol!

Welcome to the site. Did you mean 3.8”? And new mags and not springs. I know how exciting a new gun can be. :ROFLMAO:

Welcome to the forum. I havent shot a .45 from a compact. Hows the recoil?
Welcome from the Sunshine state Florida 🌞

I have a XDm Elite 3.8" 10mm.

Love it, smooth shooter, accurate (I installed Trijicon Tritium Suppressor Heights Sights), awesome trigger action both pull and reset(my Sigs with their FCU's have nice trigger action but my SA XDm Elite trigger actions are much better), low recoil (much less than even my ole Colt Delta Elite 10mm).

I have no idea of where people got some idea the 45/10 are beastly heavy recoil pistols, well unless you compare them to a water pistol❓
It is just not there, just rent 45/10mm and see for yourself

Let this old noob welcome you with a shy wave. 🙋‍♂️

Got a picture? (Not you, your XD!) 😆


Thank you for your indulgence,

XDM elite compact in .45 is a very sweet shooter. So much better than the XDS Mod. 2. Recoil really is not a factor.

My XD Mod2 subcompact in 45acp is a really sweet shooter too, recoil is not obnoxious and I carry that gun when my son isn't borrowing it. Congrats on your new pistol !

Some site has these on holiday sale for under $400. I can’t recall the email, but it might be Gunbuyer.
