Here is the new XDm 5.25 inch, the greatest competition gun on the market coming soon!

It is made by the greats at Springfield Armory Customs Shop and designed by Pro Shooter Rob Leatham. With those combos you can go wrong!

The Springfield Armory XD(M) 5.25 – Rob Leatham Design for Competition

Ummm...there's at least 4 other threads about this already.

 

[UltimateTDC]

at least

 

[mknpwr]

We need at least 4 more then!

 

[john_bud]

No... we need a thin single stack carry gun.

No... we need a thin single stack carry gun.

X 2

 

[JonXD]

Oh boy here we go again.

 

[dust717]

O you guys are too cool!

Well it just to epic for one thread duh!

 

[Thunder71]

Figure I'll just post the same response in every thread.

Single stack is already covered in the = EMP line in 9mm and .40

Compact .45 would have been nice, but although 'this forum' seems to prefer that, most serious competition guys aren't posting, they are shooting - I'm sure SA did some research outside of this forum before putting the effort into making their next release.

My gripe... especially with the release of a competition XDM, still no left handed holster!

So is everyone up beat about this? Or?

EMP is NOT polymer, and because of that, it's basically double what all the single stack polymers weigh, and still heavier than all the double stack polymers

That article says it all........................

Rob Leatham is perhaps the greatest shooter of our time, and I think if you could hear the excitement in his voice talking about this gun I think you would want to run out and buy one as I did (yes I’m buying one).

“You don’t expect to write up a wish list and get everything on your list,” he said. Two years after I first envisioned it, that is exactly what the 5.25 turned out to be.

They built Rob a gun !!

Thank You. That "EMP response" is getting old too.

Well, other than the weight compared to a double stack, what I said is basically true ... Did I also mention that the EMP is an easy +1000 dollar gun, new

$1000!!! EXACTLY! According to some posters we (Springfield XDm owners) should be content because the EMP is a single stack so a polymer XDm single stack 9mm would be a waste. Uh huh, wonder how the sales staff at Kahr, Ruger and Kel Tec would respond?

 

[Richard Conrad]

Looks like an Xd..so it must be just an XD, I see nothing that really stands out.

Coincidentally,
I was just looking at a Kahr (online), after this disappointment.

I don't need one, but the PF9 trigger sucks, so I really don't carry it much.

Now about that Ruger

 

[dfettero]

Dangit! Should have bought that Ruger LC9 at the show last weekend. Held off hoping SA would do the right thing.

 

[Thunder71]

EMP is NOT polymer

Did I say it was somewhere?

No?

OK then.

 

[CarlosT]

Did I say it was somewhere?

No?

OK then.

No, but the point is that the EMP doesn't fill the niche that a single stack 9mm XDm would, and bringing it up as if it did is unhelpful.
