Why I Love the XDm? Cause it always brings a XD to my face.
Pls.
I see what you did there. I want to get one.
I have one of these and it is simply a fantastic gun. 10 out of 10.
@Scotty Brady I do because I want to know what gun is good.
@@selfhelp9685 No one likes Scott Brady's opinion so no one cares about it. I just bought an XD 9 and I am very happy with it, so yeah I like your opinion of the pistol.
Wow, the Springfield XDm 9mm 5.25 is so good you don't need to see the target to hit it.
Springfield needs to endorse this guy in competition!! He is a great ambassador to gun owners!!
I have an XDM 5.25 and bench resting, I can hit a 6 inch metal swinger at 200 yds consistently. Outstanding design and accuracy.
That might be the most resounding endorsement of a gun I've seen on this channel outside of Glocks. Well done Springfield.
@Braxus6, You are correct; I've been shot over and over again with 9mm rounds. It never hurts much and is hardly noticeable - I just find the wounds a little annoying, much like a bee sting.
Wow, nobody whining like babies about the grip safety. About the only shortcoming out of the box is needing a PRP trigger kit and some grip tape. The stock trigger is exactly the same as every other XDM. Having combat fixed sights is the big difference for duty but these adjustable ones have proven rock solid. I can even rack the slide on my boot heel or leather belt using this rear sight with no issues. The green fiber is less flare on your eye and contrasts some backgrounds better than you might think. Especially dirt or clay. Clean and lube and this gun will still run like new after 40K+ rounds. But always spray out the lower workings and keep oil out of the sear and disconnector area. PRP sells an 18 dollar spring refresh kit you need to replace every 1-2 years. If you ever get light strikes replace the striker spring. Gun is supremely reliable. The PRP trigger is exactly the same kit as what the factory installs and hand fits when you pay for a Springfield trigger job. The solid stainless guided and 16lb spring runs great. Once you get used to these sights I shoot much faster than the thin dawson and warren replacements. Happy shooting.
Georgia Shooter I bought a used xd and I would get barley able to feed issues I replaced the spring and it works like brand new .. never had a issue after that is this a common thing with a xd?
Just picked up an XDm 9 4.5", and I'm thoroughly impressed by it. Now if I just had a range like THIS in my back yard, I'd be a happy man!
Troy Young some proper practice and you can achieve the same results with a 4.5 inch barrel
Have the same 4.5 absolutely love it
I bought this gun two years ago and took 600 rounds to the range to break it in. I fired 600 rounds of Federal, Winchester, and American Eagle ammo and the gun performed flawlessly. Like Hickok said, if you miss with this gun, it aint the guns fault. It shoots exactly where it’s aimed and with no stoppages during 600 rounds, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Everyone I know owns Glocks, which are great guns, but I feel the XDM can hold its own against the Glocks. I know about the reliability factors of Gocks, but if I want true reliability, a decent size revolver or semi-auto shotgun is my first choice for home defense. This gun will not disappoint!
I want him in my zombie apcolypes team.
Sckarekrow you should too sckare krow.
"Apcolypes"
Wat
Bought the new XDM Elite 5.25 and it's unreal.
It’s a very smooth shooting pistol.
"I shot it through the smoke!" lol I guess it's not only gamers who say that.
@VeracityNation , I would not carry a light trigger for police or defensive work; other's might disagree. I want a crisp break on a trigger, but it doesn't bother me much if it's pretty heavy.
Hickok 45, the Legend.
I just bought one for 400 bucks and I love it. Thought I wouldn't like the trigger and handle safety but I dont mind at all. This gun is fantastic. Top two for sure.
Awesome! You are surgical! Hickok45, has incredible marks man ship! That's why you remain in my subscription. Your spirit, respect, & love in the art. 2 Thumbs up as ALWAYS & 5 GOLD STARS! We love you Hickok45, from Harrisburg, Pa & Puerto Rico!
Yeah!! Another pa person what's up? I'm from carlise but moved to pittsburgh
PA here, too. North Central, in Tioga county.
Love Hickok45 vids!!! How does this pistol stack-up against the Glock 17???
Love my Springfield GI 1911. Greetings from Pocono Mts. PA
Stephen Maurer couldn't say, Stephen. I've never been a fan of Glocks; I don't like the grip angle, and I don't own any. I CAN say that I'm on a couple of XDm owners sites, and a lot of the people on the sites say that they like both nearly equally. I feel like the XDm is an extension of my arm. It is a nearly perfect design.

I own a Glock 19 Gen 3 and love it. However, I just put a XD 9mm in my hand and love the feel!! Reminds me of my Springfield 1911 GI model. Is the XDM worth the extra $$ ? I know you get an extra holster and stuff.... Are they a better built pistol?
Just picked up the XDM 5.25 this weekend at the Dallas gun show and shot it on Sunday at reactionary steel. I'm partial to Glocks (fired 2500 rounds out of my G22 over 4 weekends without any issue) but was looking for a competition gun. I looked at S&W and Glock 34 but the Sprinfield just had everything I wanted. A big difference for me in comparison with the Glock is the trigger pull. I find the XDM 5.25 trigger a lot smoother and it has a really crisp break in comparison to others.
I love my XDs, by far my favorite guns that I own.
I took my XDM to the range for the first time yesterday and he's right about it making you want to shoot fast. Once you hit the first couple shots you can just pop it off and have a really nice spread.
That's what ALL the women tell me, except then I wake up from my dream. :-)
😂
Love Hickok!! Bought this gun Christmas Eve. It was the last one in stock, like a Christmas miracle.Been to the range three times since then, it shoots great! Light recoil, great front sight.
Don't forget to contact your US Representatives and Senators,tell them that you don't want additional gun legislation!!
Just got one a few weeks ago, now if I could shoot it like you I would be the man. Great video my friend.....OohRah
I recently applied for a job at my local gun store here in Texas. I've always known a good amount about firearms but it's always good to know more. In addition to some hands on research I've been doing, I have also watched your videos in order to learn as much as possible about the firearms world. I just wanted to say that your videos are fantastic. Educational and informative and just downright entertaining. And if I do get this job, your videos will be part of the reason.
♡ Love the XDm ! ♡
I own the XDm 40 3.8 and it runs smooth as silk. Very accurate !
Highly recommended.

By the way, for those looking for a competition gun, the spare factory mags for that M&P are close to $50 a pop; the Springfield are about $20 less. And right now the Springfield Web site says their gun is coming with three magazines. Just something to consider if money is an issue.
Watchin' videos like this really makes you wanna drop everything and go to the range
I've seen every video he has made, and I don't think I've seen Greg shoot better than he does in the first minute here. Truely wonderful marksmanship.
The 3, yes 3 gong hits whilst blind were just ridiculous.
My Dad saw this video and got me an early birthday present.
Lol I think I’m get one for Christmas. 😂 I got a glock 17 so I already got a “big pistol” so I’m kinda on the fence of wanting to get a xd, but I also want a glock 42 or 43 for pocket carry. I haven’t found any concealed carry xds yet, the “small” ones look goofy to me
It's awesome how you're able to pinpoint the gong just from memory through the smoke.
I own an XD subcompact and would love a larger gun for home defense and target shooting with similar controls. Would this be a nice item for that role?
That was my first gun i ever bought. Great gun! I still have it years later.
Good stuff Hickok, I love your vids. After watching this I've decided to get the 4" XDm 40, looking forward to getting that!
@TheDubDoubt Yes, I know it is to lighten the pistol and it allows the slide to be lighter. The lighter slide is better for low power ammo such as that used in competition. The lighter slide increases reliability with the low power 9mm ammo during cycling. Result is low recoil ammo with assurance of feeding the next round. Faster follow up shots. I am just not a fan of these slide cut outs. It seems to be a good gun for what it was designed -competition matches.
That sure looks like a nice shooting gun.
I haven't seen you hitting these many small targets with any firearm this far you shot, Hickok. This must be the best gun.
LOVE MY XDM!
I just realized how long he has been on RUclips! This video is 11 years old! wow!
at least it doesn't extract brass in my face like my new G19
I have an XD SC .40 and an XDM 4.5 9mm as well as a SOCOM 2. After watching this, I will now include it to my collection.
geez, what a shot.
I was planning on getting a 4.5" XDM in 9mm and replacing the standard 3-dot sights with a fiber optic front and plain rear. (Personally, I find the 3-dot system too "busy" for USPSA/IPSC but the XDM I've borrowed at practice and to shoot a match feels so much better for me than an M&P or Glock) Long story short, who's going to wait for this thing to come out and be made legal for "production division" and then save some hassle (and even get some extra barrel as an added bonus)? This guy!
u have a good eye brother
years of the same coarse haha
@Gravity762 It actually doesn't, they just include a loading assistant. It doesn't provide the same kind of lever mechanical advantage of the Uplula. It just presses down on the previous round and allows you to begin loading the next round.
Hahaha 9:35 I was like SHOOT THE CHICKEN! SHOOT THE CHICKEN!!!
I'm not really experienced but i think this will work. Have your shooting arm completely straight and the other one bent (like hickok) Then put the opposite leg (opposite of your shooting arm) forward and lean forward putting almost all your weight on it. This means you will put almost all of your weight on the recoil.
I'm thinking about this for my first gun, would you recommend?
+Kryptonlte I have one,...it's exelent, I strongly recomend it.
+Kryptonlte I recommend it too. I got a Springfield XDM 4.5 chambered in 9mm. Keep in mind it is a double stacked and not a compact. I have no problem conceal carrying it but there's some people that don't like carry a full size handgun (too big)
My next pistol!!!
@Ridaz4LifeR6 A T&E gun is a testing and evaluating gun. They are generally provided by manufacturers to members of the press or more well known members of the shooting community to try, give feedback, and most importantly, provide exposure. The people who get the guns can opt to buy them at a discount, or shoot them and then return them when they are done testing. It's a way to market a new gun.
CROATIAN QUALITY ;)
Almost like he was making music there at the end, clang clang clang, I love it, well done.
made in croatia, HS product
Da brate
I'm a first time buyer and this gun looks like it has all the features I would need. I like the external safeties and the ease that it seems to be disassembled with. The price isn't that bad either.
The price is great! Got mine for 430 for on black friday. This gun is equal to the glock 17 and glock 19 but cheaper. The first gun i shot was the compact one of the xd9 and didn't like it because of the recoil, i also shot that day a glock 19 and love it! Ultimately i decided to buy the xd9 4 inch instead
Acaciastreet I got the bio-tone one about 3 years ago for $650. Is was about $75 more for it instead of just an all black one, but anyway you're wrong btw. This Springfield holds a lil more value than the glock. Glock is nice but don't beat these XDM's
You can't even see the targets and you still keep hitting them. You rock dude!
i have the XD45 Tactical. LOVE IT. chose the XD to upgrade from the Ruger P90 45... This moves the P90 as a back-up. also have the XD9 compact for the boy.
I'm a Glock guy, but I rented a Springfield XDM 4.5" in .45 ACP..and my god..I am unsure if Glocks are my favorite anymore. Been shopping around/screwing around going back and forth on buying one. Can't get it out of my mind. Just a sweet shooter. I haven't shot the 5.25" but I like the 4.5" balance. Just a sweet shooter.
I have the exact same model ... and I would have to agree Sir ... "fun, fun, fun ... sweet, sweet, sweet !!!" It's quite the shooter !! Thank you for sharing/posting 45 !! Merry Christmas ...
I cannot believe this vid is six years old already. I remember this like it was yesterday.
I have an XDm 3.8 and love it. (Love it!) I've been using an M&P9 Pro at my club for competition, but have been waiting for this Springfield. I WILL be adding it to my collection. (I much prefer the XDm over the M&P for too many reasons to list.) Thanks for the heads up!
The speed loader is an UpLULA made by Maglula. It's way faster than the standard speed loader. It makes getting those last few rounds in the magazine a breeze.
@308ManWild The HS2000,xd,and xdm were,and are a Croation gun that Springfield liked and started a partnership with the gun maker. It would cost $1,300 if springfield made it here. Even most of Springfilds 1911s are made by another company.
i can't recall in recent memory when hickock has shot every one of the animals with a semi-auto handgun, that thing must be a super sweet shooter, very impressive sir
Shooting trought smoke is briliant idea of training.
I carry a G34 for work...BUT I do love the ergonomic of the Springfield better. And at the same time I'm hoping Caracal gets their act together from their recalls. .I have my eye on one..
Looks really nice, definitely something to look at for a range gun. Might end up with one of those instead of a g34 one day.
I recently bought one of these FDE threaded barrel 4.5 n I love this gun ..very accurate I can shoot like Hickok45 with this gun ... 20 rounds per clip!.. fun to shoot...
Me too, just got one and love it!
I have a Glock 17 Longslide that I feel the same way about. These new Springfields really do look great. I'll bet that this video alone will sell a ton of these for Springfield.
Anyone has to admit that even thou it was made in croatia its a great gun because it has the 1911 saftey with modern scissor trigger safety getting rid of slide safetys. Easy break down and heavy duty parts. Mags are great. Striker is also alot tougher than other similar types
@hickok45 That is what I was thinking too. It also appears that much legal precedence, many police department policies & gun mfrs. agree as well. Thanks for taking the time to answer & keep up the great work!
@starwarsman96 If you don't know that, don't bother buying one. BTW, its the length of the barrel. The ammunition of this first release of the 5.25 is 9mm.
@choke4smoke I have the S&W M&P9 Pro. ($609 two-tone) Has worked flawlessly for a couple thousand rounds. The trigger is VERY light. (Guys who shoot mine have popped off two rounds without meaning to.) The stock sight is only windage adjustable. Easy recoil. I also have XDm 3.8, and much prefer the feel of that gun in my hand. Between the two I'd take the XDm, and WILL add this new Springfield to my collection.
Love my XDM-9 going on 8/9 years i believe, and zero malfunctions. Eats up any ammo like crazy with no hiccups. Will not run soft steel case thru it because it destroys any gun jus to save a few bucks. And after i put the powder river trigger kit in it, and had it stippled 2 years ago, tac light on it...its pretty damn awesome for the money into it. All political BS aside with what happened couple years back, id trust carrying mine no questions
I bought this gun after minimal research because I initially wanted a Kahr. The store didn't have it, but this gun felt so right for my hand. After watching this video, I'm glad I got it. Going to break this gun in this weekend. Can't wait.
Hickoks a monster with the XDM hits everytime
Out of all your videos this video has the best thumbnail.
I have the XDm 45 in a 5 inch and I love it. It's a great and reliable pistol. It eats everything u give it.
You could always go with the 40; I don't know if they got them in 5.25; but you can get them in 4 1/2; I'm far from being hickok45; this guy's a guru - but I've been in love with my Xdm ever since I took it out the case.
Not sure if I'd call it a perfect pistol, I've heard a lot of people who can't stand 'em, but they always seem to be Glock fanatics.
It does ride a little high for me, f/u's can jump; especially above a 9mm... but still - depends on the shooter.
Shoot on Hickok... Shoot on.
These videos make me want to rebuy a xdm 5.25 and my xds 45. Xdm was a phenomenal gun. The xds was great but I had to put a prp trigger kit into it. Too much play with the stock trigger.
Getting the newer elite with two 32 mags and two 22 mags. Thing is gonna be a monster of a pistol. Can't wait!
picked one of these up, but only after watching hickok45 run it first. You are the best, most human gun reviewer on the whole damn internet! Other than your Glock bias LOL, I truly love watching your videos and I learn alot from you @hickok45
Many years later but I just picked up a 4.5" in FDE, one of the "package" deals. I was surprised the one in this video had the fiber optic front sight back then. Always wanted an XDm after shooting one years ago and it making me look like I knew how to shoot lol.
just got one last Saturday ... shot it Sunday ..... kicking myself for waiting to buy it is a blast to shoot. but am glad I waited local gun store had a sale on Springfield for 20 dollars above cost so paid 540 for mine 9mm 5.25 comp
Didn't know Rob Letham himself was going to make an appearance starting at 15:25
The bar has again been raised. Nice, nice shooting, man.
I have the XDM .40 and .45. Looks sweet. I was eying the S&W M&P Pro, I'll be getting one of these instead. Nice shooting, as usual!
Symphony X, in D minor, composed by Springfield, as performed by hickock45.
This thing pinging away on those steel targets is music to my ears.
That XD is making some good musical notes when it's slaps those plates around. It did seem like Hickok was going a bit faster than normal. overall, seem like a good shooter. I have two xd's at the house and maybe after this tour it will be time to get some XDm's too. good Vid!
Watching these videos reminds me of whyI love about being American.
I bet you could shoot certain targets in order to play songs like Mary had a little lamb. John could probably help a lot with that. It would be cool to hear you playing music on the range like that. I love to hear those targets ring. Very nice looking gun and it seemed you really enjoyed this one a lot.
You're really great Hickok45!!! I was just reading abt this gun on Rob Leatham's post that it's not yet available but then they send you one. Awesome!!!
Nobody, but NOBODY can do it like Hickok45. There have been many times on the street where law enforcment had to shoot through conditions like that. What I wouldn't give to shoot on that range one time. I would pay to do it. We are watching the MASTER.
Definitely loving this thing. Just bought the new version today and it's fantastic so far
I'm convinced and really need to add 1 to the collection.
Thanks Hickok, nice job!!!
The reviews Hickok does are very useful; I do enjoy your opinions or pay attention to any other comments made by your reviews. I was debating should I get an xdm 9 or not and this helped out ..... I got an 4.5 XDM 9 !!!!
Just ordered this gun cant wait to get/shoot it !!! it was a little pricey for my lvl of gun collection but i figured it was time to spend the extra $ n get the quality ive always wanted to own!!! thanks for the video and God Bless!!!!
I think I have found my next purchase. Sweet shooting gun. I am excited already. Hickok is great.
ok...1. you make hitting targets with a pistol look SO EASY! 2. I can only dream of having a range setup like yours... and 3. How do you do it???? I have seen your video on accuracy and how the that term is used VERY loosely. That being said I think i can speak amongst all your fans and subscribers and ask, what can we all do to improve our mechanics when handling a pistol??? You have experience, and people with experience always have little tips they have learn along the way.
I have certainly enjoyed my XDm 40. Looks like I'll have to try the longer slide version if/when they introduce it in 40sw. Thanks for sharing
I put this downrange around 100 rounds at my local firing range, and since it was a range gun somethings were blah, the sights were tampered with and shot about 2inches up at about 15 yards. And on one round (i dont know if it was the range ammo, cheap stuff :/ ) it clicked, no bang. i picked up the round after ejecting it, and there was a solid indentation on the primer, so bad ammo im assuming. but this gun impressed me besides the above statemnt i mentioned. Good gun :).
Hickok45 I think you were shooting better through the smoke! Holy moly. Lol much love been looking into one of these or the xds still undecided but you're helping at this point haha.
@nebula25x yep,HS2000 is still standard issue gun in military and police use...there is no difference between HS2000 and XD models.HS2000 is original name for this gun ,and intended for European market .For overseas market have another name,Springfield Armory XD series,and they are licensed importer in USA ,and have rights to labeled them under SA name,but not to produce them. Also Springfield staff helps to improve some models,like this competition model...regards from Croatia
I think you may want to read the gun it says on it in more than one place made in Croatia.... I own a 5.25 from the Springfield custom shop and a xds they both say made in Croatia.
