Overview

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Bi-Tone Competition Essentials Package is a factory-assembled competition handgun designed to minimize post-purchase modifications. The 5.25-inch barrel provides an extended sight radius and increased muzzle velocity compared to standard service-length barrels, while the bi-tone finish offers corrosion resistance and a distinctive professional appearance. This package includes a competition-ready trigger system, a loaded chamber indicator, and a Picatinny accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers. The package also ships with three 13-round magazines, a paddle and belt holster, a double magazine pouch, and a cleaning kit, making it a comprehensive solution for shooters entering or advancing within competitive shooting sports.

This firearm operates on Springfield Armory’s striker-fired system with a consistent trigger pull weight of 5.5 to 6.0 pounds, measured from the factory. The 5.25-inch hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with a 1:16 twist rate ensures accuracy with standard .45 ACP ammunition. The bi-tone slide features a Melonite finish over stainless steel, while the frame uses a high-impact polymer with interchangeable backstraps to accommodate hand sizes from small to extra-large.

The overall length measures 8.3 inches, height is 5.9 inches, and unloaded weight is 31 ounces.
