This is my first range report so be kind. After jumping through some hoops, I was finally able to pick up my gun. I then made a beeline for the range. I like the fact that this gun comes with 3 19 round mags. I think I could get away with just using the 3 mags in some of the 3 gun matches I compete in although a fourth would be more comfortable and I am by no means an expert shooter. I apologize for the crappy video. The camera was acting up.
Initial impressions
Man this thing looks cool. In the case, is all the usual XDm gear with the exception of the 3rd magazine. It feels light and balanced in my hand as well as comfortable. Racking the slide feels smooth. Dry firing the gun reveals what I consider to be a long heavy trigger. I am guessing the trigger to be around 7lbs. I am used to my EAA Witness Elite Match, which has an aftermarket trigger which breaks at about 3lbs.
Shooting
I set up targets at 7, 15 and 25 yards. I started at the 7 yard line and worked my way back to the 25 yard line. This gun will definitely shoot better than me. Just to make sure, my buddy who is the RO/ex EOD/ex SWAT at the range I go to. He is definitely a better shot than me. The trigger needs work in my opinion, but, like I said I am no expert. Take up was about .140.” Reset was about .235” which seems quite long. I think a Springer or PRP trigger is a must at least for me.
7 Yards – The left shoulder and waist are mine. The head is from my buddy. The shoot and see targets I think are 3 inches.

15 Yards – Again, I am on the left and my buddy is on the right. Like I said, he is a much better shot than me.

25 Yards – Well as you can see, I didn’t do so well. I was trying to hit center and my buddy was aiming for the head.

Conclusion
Overall, I think this gun keeps the same standards as the rest of the XDm line. Overall quality is good. The gun shoots good and compared to a Glock 34, it makes the Glock feel like a toy. I have shot another friends 34, but, I did not care for it. The 34 just felt uncomfortable compared to the XDm.
