Overview

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm Full-Size Black Pistol with Fiber Optic Front Sight is a purpose-built handgun that prioritizes accuracy and control. Based on the proven XDM Elite platform, this model features a full-length dust cover with an integrated Picatinny rail for mounting lights or lasers. The slide is cut with deep serrations front and rear, facilitating positive manipulation under stress or with gloved hands. The barrel is cold hammer-forged from stainless steel and features a target crown for enhanced accuracy. The fiber optic front sight uses a 1.5mm polymer rod that collects ambient light for a bright aiming point, while the rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation. The grip incorporates the XDM Elite Modular Grip system, allowing shooters to customize circumference and backstrap texture to fit their hand size. The trigger system is a single-action with a crisp break and short reset, rated for 30,000 cycles without degradation.
