XDM 5.25 Competition +1

[AllenM]

Just picked up a new XDM 5.25 9mm and had a chance to try it out today.

All I can say is WOW. What a pleasure to shoot. I shot it some for groups, It is very accurate, but it got bored quickly with shooting groups.
So I shot steel plates with it really nice. Low profile adjustable rear sight. though no adjustment was required and a bright fiber optic front sight.

For an out of the box polymer gun this thing is really impressive.

I was shooting federal bulk pack 9mm and had no problems keeping the groups 2" at 20 yards without any break in and zero malfunction.

Just felt I had to tell somebody

That is great news I still haven't shot mine yet...

I like the .45 ACP and though I don't need it, would consider getting a XDm 5.25 .45 Competition. My little XD .45 Compact has been great and is my EDC.

Nice, thanks for the report! I've been eyeballing the .45 acp version at my LGS since he got one in, I kinda miss the XDM 45 I had and I think the competition model looks awesome! Maybe one of these days..

Hows the new XDM doing? Put many rounds downrange so far? I am still thinking about the 45 acp version, have any praises for me?

Well I have not spent alot of time with it but have probably shot 500 flawless rounds through it. Just used WWB and Federal bulk ammo and it gets tiny groups. I was thinking for Steel plate challenge I may not even hand load for it.
I picked it up at a time when I have been working with another pistol and have not had the time I would like to shoot the 5.25. It's next though.
I will say this the gun is nice, very accurate and easy to pickup and shoot right out of the box. Well, I say that but mine had trigger work done before I ever shot it so I don't really know what the factory trigger was like.

Would I buy one again? Most definitely, it shoots like a dream and is accurate like a 1911. I am also thinking of getting one in .45

I would not hesitate to recommend this gun. my experience so far has been nothing but positive.

I purchased mine a little over a month ago and love it. I shot FNS with it and my times improved already. I have been practicing at a friends private range where he has three sections of steel set up. It just makes me smile when you here that steel ping!!!! I would suggest putting the green fiber optic on though. It stands out so much better and in high and low light. It makes for a better sight picture with it. Yes the trigger is a little heavy so that will be changed in the future but overall it is a fun gun to shoot.

Thanks for the replies guys, i'm pretty set on the 45 acp version.

I'd sure like to shoot your new gun.

Congratulations to you.

I have a friend that has been shooting his in competitation and he says it's great.
