I also got to get my grubby paws on this! the NEW springfield xdm 9mm 5.25
I really liked the longer sight radius especially because my xdm has a 3.8" barrel. I shot extremely well with it. Actually probably as good as I have ever shot with any gun. The target sights with a hi-viz red front sight can get down right surgical. The recoil and muzzle flip seem less than my 3.8. It is very quick to get back on target.
The only thing I don't really like is they did NO work to the trigger. The lower frame and trigger feel exactly like my 3.8 which isn't a bad thing, but there is room for improvement, they could have lowered the pull weight and maybe shortened the reset a little bit.
It is a very cool gun, and considering I have a half dozen 9mm xdm magazines I could see myself getting one of these. I don't do any competitions though, but I shot extremely accurate with it even better than a 1911.
This is a box of 50 rounds (pmc bronze) that I shot at ~15 yards. The one flyer was in my first magazine, and I flinched.
