Overview

This black-finished Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition model is engineered for accuracy at distance. The longer barrel and slide assembly reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots. The Essentials Package includes one 16-round magazine, a paddle holster, a double magazine pouch, and a lockable hard case. The firearm features a fiber-optic front sight and a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation, ensuring precise alignment in varied lighting conditions. The polymer frame incorporates a replaceable sub-frame and a match-grade trigger with a crisp break.

Features & Specs

• Barrel: 5.25-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate, designed for enhanced velocity and accuracy with .40 S&W ammunition. The barrel is Melonite-coated for corrosion resistance and extended service life.
• Frame: Black polymer frame with an integral Picatinny accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers. The frame features an adjustable backstrap system to accommodate different hand sizes, ensuring a consistent grip under recoil.
• Trigger: Competition trigger with a pre-travel adjustment screw and a short reset. The trigger pull weight averages 5.5 to 6.5 pounds, with a smooth uptake and a clean, tactile break that supports rapid string shooting.

• Sights: Fiber-optic front sight with a red insert for high visibility, paired with a fully adjustable rear sight with tool-less elevation and windage adjustments. The sight radius is 7.4 inches, aiding in long-range precision.
• Slide: Machined steel slide with serrated cocking surfaces front and rear, a loaded chamber indicator, and a cocked striker indicator. The slide is finished in a durable black Melonite coating that matches the frame.
• Safety: Grip safety, trigger safety, and a striker block safety. The grip safety is contoured to disengage with a natural shooting hold, while the trigger safety prevents accidental discharge if the trigger is jarred.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition Black Essentials Package is built for the competitive shooter participating in USPSA, IDPA, or steel challenge matches where the .40 S&W cartridge offers a major power factor advantage. It also suits law enforcement personnel seeking a duty-grade sidearm with a longer sight radius for qualification courses. Recreational shooters who prioritize accuracy and customizability will appreciate the adjustable trigger and ergonomic frame options. This firearm is not intended for concealed carry due to its full-size frame and 5.25-inch barrel; it is optimized for open carry, range use, and competition.
