Overview

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm full-size black pistol with fiber optic front sight is purpose-built for target work, competition, and defensive training. Springfield Armory designed this variant with a 5.25-inch hammer-forged barrel, a match-grade trigger system, and a full-length steel guide rod to reduce muzzle flip and improve shot-to-shot recovery. The slide is machined from forged carbon steel with a black Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The fiber optic front sight, paired with a tactical rack U-notch rear sight, provides a fast, high-contrast sight picture in varied lighting. This pistol ships with two 22-round extended magazines and a paddle-style OWB holster, making it range-ready immediately.

Features & Specs

• Barrel and Slide: 5.25-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:10 twist rate; slide features cocking serrations front and rear, a loaded chamber indicator, and a Melonite black finish. The fiber optic front sight uses a .040-inch red fiber for rapid acquisition.
• Frame and Controls: Full-size black polymer frame with an interchangeable backstrap system (three sizes included); ambidextrous magazine release and slide stop lever; integral Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers. Overall length is 8.3 inches, height 5.75 inches, weight 30 ounces unloaded.
• Trigger and Safety: Springfield Armory’s Elite match-grade trigger system with a short pre-travel and crisp 4.5-5.5 pound break; trigger safety, grip safety, and a manual thumb safety. The trigger resets audibly and tactilely for follow-up shots.

Additional specifications include a 9mm chambering with a capacity of 22+1 rounds, a 1.2-inch slide width, and a 5.9-inch sight radius. The pistol utilizes a captive dual recoil spring assembly tuned for the 5.25-inch barrel length.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm full-size black pistol with fiber optic front sight is designed for the shooter who prioritizes accuracy over compactness. This includes competitive shooters in USPSA Carry Optics or Limited divisions, law enforcement personnel requiring a full-size duty sidearm with extended sight radius, and civilian owners who train regularly at distance. The 5.25-inch barrel and adjustable rear sight allow precise shot placement at 25 yards and beyond, while the 22-round magazine capacity supports high-volume practice sessions.
