Overview

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition Black Essentials Package is a full-size, striker-fired pistol chambered in .40 S&W. It features a 5.25-inch hammer-forged barrel with a match-grade target crown, designed to deliver tight groups at competition distances. The slide is machined from carbon steel with a durable black Melonite finish, and the frame is a high-performance black polymer with a match-grade trigger. This package includes the pistol, three 16-round magazines, a paddle holster, a double magazine pouch, and a cable lock. The extended barrel and slide length reduce muzzle flip and provide a longer sight radius, giving shooters a distinct edge in accuracy and follow-up shot speed.
