Overview

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Competition Black 10-Round Model is a purpose-built handgun designed for competitive shooting disciplines, including USPSA Single Stack and IDPA CDP divisions. Chambered in .45 ACP, this full-size pistol features a 5.25-inch hammer-forged match-grade barrel and a black Melonite finish over a forged steel slide. The 10-round magazine capacity complies with restricted-state regulations while maintaining full grip ergonomics. This model is engineered for shooters who require precise sight radius, reduced muzzle flip, and consistent lockup for demanding competition courses. The springfield xdm 45acp 5.25 competition black 10-round model utilizes the proven XD(M) striker-fired action with a short-reset trigger system for rapid follow-up shots. A fully supported barrel ramp ensures reliable feeding with a variety of .45 ACP loads, from 185-grain target wadcutters to 230-grain defensive hollow points.

Features and Specs

This springfield xdm 45acp 5.25 competition black 10-round model incorporates several design elements specific to competitive shooting. The extended 5.25-inch barrel increases velocity and sight radius while the full-length steel guide rod and captive recoil spring reduce felt recoil. The black polymer frame features an integral Picatinny rail for optional accessories and interchangeable backstraps for custom palm swell. The slide is machined with deep cocking serrations front and rear, and the fiber optic front sight (red) pairs with a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation.

Who It’s For

The springfield xdm 45acp 5.25 competition black 10-round model is intended for competitive shooters who compete in single-stack or limited division matches where 10-round magazines are required. It also suits shooters in states with magazine capacity restrictions who want a full-size .45 ACP pistol without sacrificing grip length. This model is appropriate for experienced handgun owners who prioritize sight radius, trigger consistency, and recoil management over concealability. Law enforcement personnel seeking a duty-sized .45 ACP with an extended barrel for qualification courses may also find this model suitable. It is not recommended for concealed carry due to the slide length and full grip profile.

• Competition shooters in USPSA Single Stack, IDPA CDP, or steel challenge divisions requiring 10-round capacity.
• Shooters in restricted-capacity states who need a competition-ready .45 ACP with full-size ergonomics.
• Handgun enthusiasts who prefer a fiber optic front sight and fully adjustable rear sight for precise windage and elevation adjustments.
