Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Competition Black 10-Round Model

Overview

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Competition Black 10-Round Model is a purpose-built handgun designed for competitive shooting and high-performance personal defense. Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size pistol features a 5.25-inch barrel and a black Melonite finish that provides exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. The extended barrel and slide length deliver a longer sight radius for improved accuracy, while the 10-round magazine capacity complies with capacity restrictions in certain jurisdictions. This model is a direct evolution of the XD platform, refined for shooters who demand precision and reliability in a competition-ready firearm.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Competition Black 10-Round Model is engineered for competitive shooters in USPSA, IDPA, or steel challenge matches who require a .45 ACP platform with extended sight radius and precise controls. This model also suits law enforcement officers and civilian shooters who prioritize accuracy and recoil management in a full-size pistol. The 10-round magazine capacity makes it compliant with restricted-capacity states while retaining the power and terminal performance of the .45 ACP cartridge.
