Overview

The Springfield XDM 9mm 5.25 Competition Black 10-Round Model is a striker-fired, semi-automatic pistol purpose-built for USPSA, IDPA, and steel challenge competition. The 5.25-inch hammer-forged steel barrel is engineered for tight tolerances, contributing to sub-2-inch accuracy at 25 yards. The slide features front and rear cocking serrations for positive manipulation, while the adjustable rear sight and fiber optic front sight provide rapid target acquisition. The polymer frame incorporates Springfield’s interchangeable backstrap system, allowing shooters to customize the grip angle and circumference. The 10-round magazine sits flush with the grip, reducing printing concerns while maintaining a full firing grip for all hand sizes.

Features & Specs

• Overall length: 8.3 inches with a 5.7-inch height and 1.2-inch width; unloaded weight of 30 ounces with a 5.5-pound trigger pull measured from the factory
• Magazine capacity: 10 rounds with two included stainless steel magazines featuring witness holes and a polymer base pad for positive seating in the magazine well

The slide-to-frame fit uses a dual-spring recoil system designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise during rapid string fire. The barrel hood is fully supported and the feed ramp is polished to enhance reliability with hollow point ammunition. The trigger system uses a pre-travel take-up with a crisp break and short reset, reducing split times during competitive fire. All metal components receive the black Melonite treatment, which penetrates the surface rather than coating it, providing a hardness of 68 HRC.
