The XDm also has a more ergonomic grip with interchangeable backstraps for different hand sizes, while the standard XD has a fixed grip. The XDm typically offers higher magazine capacity as well.
Is the XDM 45 discontinued?
Springfield Armory discontinued the XD-M 4.5" in .45 ACP, replacing it with the XD-M Elite line. No Elite variants in .45 ACP have been released yet. Used inventory remains available through various retailers.
Where are XD pistols made?
Springfield Armory imports XD pistols manufactured in Croatia by HS Produkt. Springfield designs and distributes them under its brand in the United States but does not produce them domestically.
Will an XDM holster fit an XDM Elite?
Most standard XD-M holsters fit the XD-M Elite since the dimensions are nearly identical. The ambidextrous slide release on the Elite typically doesn't interfere with holstering. Verify fit with your specific holster model before purchasing, as some designs may have minor clearance issues.
Is the Springfield XD 45 California compliant?
Some Springfield XD .45 ACP models are California compliant, but not all variants qualify. Compact models with 10-round magazines may appear on the approved handgun roster. Always verify the specific model number against California's current Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale before purchasing.
