Now this is not my first Springfield XDM Elite review and so far I am a fan of this lineup. Both of these Springfield XDM compact are great. You get everything you need right out of the box, the magwell, good sights, plenty of safety features, good trigger and an impressive mag capacity for such a compact size. If you are looking for a high capacity pistol that you can easily carry, the Springfield 9mm XDM is an excellent option. If you prefer more stopping power over the capacity, Springfield 45 ACP XDM might be the way to go!

So, what do you guys think about this Springfield XDM Elite comparison? Let me know in the comments below! Thanks for watching! God bless!
