XDM 5.25 Competition

Postby engnerdan on Wed Aug 10, 2011 7:24 am

So has anybody here got one or shot one of the new SA XDM 5.25's? I REALLY like my XDM 3.8 9mm. It just feels like it belongs in your hand and points incredibly well. I am considering the 5.25 to take the place of the GLOCK 34 I just picked up, the GLOCK is a fine piece but it just is not the same as the XDM.

Per the Springfield Armory web site, Hunters Den in New Ulm is suppose to have one in stock. I sent an e-mail to the Hunters Den asking if they do and what the price is. I am doing a permit class there on Saturday, so.........

Are you saying you might be coming home with one Saturday? I got a line on some too in bi-tone but I just have not committed to spending that money yet. I just bought this dang GLOCK.

Holy ****! $700 for something Croatian-made that Springfield slaps their name on? The street price should be about $550 on these.

Which means it'll retail for over $1000 at Gander.

What's wrong with Croatia? Besides being near Austria? :D

Yeah, Austria to Croatia = 4 hour drive, that's about half the distance from southern Minnesota to northern Minnesota ;)

I suggest you check out hickok45 on youtube he does a good hour long review on the 5.25 and he puts a few hundred rounds through it in that time it looks like one hell of a gun.

Well I might have to make a trip to a Bills and try it out. That was kind of the plan all along.

I have watched then, and that helped seal the deal that I want one. Now it is just a matter of should I buy one right now.
