BobbyKraft426 0 Posted July 9, 2016 So I was looking to get a polymer-framed pistol for my first gun, was looking at the G17 or something from the XD series, but I can't get a straight answer really from anyone about the differences between the XDM and the Mod.2. People are telling me it's just a preference thing, but I'm sure there are more differences. Can anyone that has experience with these two tell me the differences or the pros and cons of the two?

dajonga 396 Posted July 9, 2016 From Springfield's website.... XD(M)® features – a match grade barrel, minimal-reset trigger, and mega-lock frame texture Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyKraft426 0 Posted July 9, 2016 I saw that, but is one better than the other? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 396 Posted July 9, 2016 I would think that for the average shooter, no real difference would be felt or seen between the Xd and XdM. If you are a super competitive shooter accustomed to super competitive guns, you might notice a difference. If you prefer the M over the non-M, and can justify the price difference, go for it.

Ricky_Bobby 130 Posted July 13, 2016 ^^This - if you have the coin, go for the XDM - But the Mod2 is a great pistol for the price - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 33 Posted July 27, 2016 I have owned both. Both are awesome. However, I prefer the Mod.2. The grip and feel of the gun in your hand on the mod.2 is excellent. It feels like the mod.2 was just made for your hand. Not that the xdm is somehow bad, its just that the mod.2 is noticeably more comfortable. As far as shooting is concerned, both were very accurate for me, and I would recommend either. I don't feel that the upgraded barrel and trigger of the xdm made a whole ton of difference, as I shot them both the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
