This model is optimized for USPSA, IDPA, and steel challenge competitions, offering shooters a balanced combination of recoil management and sight radius.

Features & Specs

• Barrel and Slide: 5.25-inch hammer-forged, carbon steel match-grade barrel with a 1:16 twist rate. The slide is machined from billet steel with front and rear cocking serrations and a full-length steel guide rod. The black Melonite finish penetrates the metal surface for enhanced wear resistance.
• Sights and Optics: Fiber optic front sight with a red insert for rapid target acquisition and a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation. The slide is drilled and tapped for mounting a red dot optic, with included cover plate for iron sight use.
• Frame and Controls: Black polymer frame with an integral Picatinny rail for accessory mounting. Ambidextrous magazine release and slide stop levers accommodate left- and right-handed shooters. The grip features interchangeable backstraps (three sizes included) to customize palm swell and trigger reach.

Who It’s For

The springfield xdm 45acp 5.25 competition black 10-round model is engineered for the experienced shooter who demands precision in competitive environments. It suits USPSA Single Stack and Limited 10 division competitors, as well as IDPA Custom Defensive Pistol shooters who require a .45 ACP platform with extended sight radius and reduced muzzle flip. Law enforcement professionals seeking a duty-qualified sidearm with enhanced accuracy characteristics will find the longer barrel and adjustable trigger beneficial. Recreational shooters who prioritize range performance and target consistency over compact carry dimensions will appreciate the 5.25-inch barrel’s velocity gains and sight plane stability. This model is not recommended for concealed carry due to its full-size frame and extended slide length.
