I ordered one for that today. They had the 45 last year for 349 also, but claimed sold out and wouldn't transfer from another store. So I figured just get this now. Update- ordered the 8th, picked it up today the 14th. Quicker than I expected.

Just curious...$349+S&H+Tax+FFL = ???? Why not just buy it local or order it through a local gun store? I am asking because I can't find anything worth buying online that's cheaper once all the fees add up. My FFL is $40.

If you pick up in store it just taxes. No ffl or shipping

A steal

@@bensonhedges5471 LGS have this same gun for $445 Tax 10% = 489.50 + background $10 = $499.50 He will order one .. lets say I find one for $350 .. + 10% tax $370 + $20 transfer = $390 + $10 background = $400 If I order it $350 .. $20 transfer = $370 + $10 background check = $380 Cheapest route

is it better to buy from the gun shop or buy them from the website because i really want to purchase the compact and the full size gun and call it a day. i want to carry one conceal and keep one at the house for my protection and for my family as well. i don't want to buy no gun for over 700 anything under 700 is straight

@@crayshaunhenderson1265you can usually find deals easier online and have more options. Local shops are good too I would just look around for a good sale

@@crayshaunhenderson1265Palmetto State Armory.. check out their website site. Thank me later.

@@crayshaunhenderson1265 Actually the compact will serve well for both.. being it can use higher capacity mags

Facts…. Springfield is in my personal top 3 overall.

@@lowjack8645 I’ve had a bunch of Springfield 9mms over the years. I’ve been very happy with the majority of them, but they don’t usually get much love in the comments.

Springfield needs 30rd magazines then you can put them in the same conversation as Glock

@@brandonmason6702 What exactly do you do with 30 round magazines, just to use at the range mostly?

@@brandonmason6702well they make a 35 oem mag for the XDM now… so there’s that 🤷

What do you mean about better accuracy?

That’s hilarious because it just popped up on Palmetto’s site for $350 & 2 mags included. Been wanting another one & here comes this beauty. Buying right now.

Ordered mine today also

Loon for Pearce pinky extensions.. I think Amazon still has them.

I can make ya an owb

It won't be a problem on the compact model, but the full sized will give you a problem. I have the older full size XDM and a new Elite model and had to remove the magwell in order to use the older 19rd mags.

Yes, but get the 19-rounder specifically made for the Elite version of the 3.8. Remove the magwell, insert the 19-rounder, and you have a perfect fit. I love it.

Wholeguns has a decent holster that accommodates this exact pistol plus my TLR-8AG Flex. It's nothing super fancy, but it works and it's inexpensive, so I see no reason to drop $100+ on a holster I may not like. For the price, it's worth a try, got the holster and a mag carrier for just over $50 shipped

@@pcBlacknmild Really? You are butt hurt over my comment? Wow!

If you train enough it isn't a problem.

@@guncafe4183 I agree but why bother when there a so many guns available that are better. The XDM triggers have always been bad. I still haven't forgot that Springfield donated money to anti 2A lobbyists.

@davidsawyer6003 The mai. Reason I've stuck to them is that the XDM was the first pistol I bought about 10 years ago, they were doing their magazine rebate so I ended up with a ton of mags and have just bought more of them during mag rebates so I have an overabundance of mags. Knowing what I know now, I would tend to agree that they may not be the best in class at everything, but I've had a pretty solid experience throughout my years with them. I understand the hate that they've received over their donations, which they later came out and apologized for, so who knows if it were the company that made the mistake or somebody just suggested to make a donation and no research was done on who it was they were donating to. I will also say that the grip safety was a big draw for me personally when I was looking because there were a lot of stories of police officers having negligent discharges while holstering their Glocks that I wanted to avoid. The older triggers are understandably not ideal because after the reset there is some slack, but I find that after I've broken my trigger in after 10's of thousands of rounds, as well as dry presses its an awesome trigger.

I bought one recently. Yes, that’s an actual issue, but the gun is still 1000% accurate. Unbelievably accurate. I haven’t looked into it, but supposedly you can take off the mag well and the grip will be more normal. Normally, I’m the first to care about grips not being big enough for all three fingers, like on the LCP max, rectified by some third party extension, but this gun is so easy to shoot it’s a non issue. I’m gonna try to take that mag well off though and see what happens. I don’t shoot enough pistol to care about some fraction of a second improvement in reloading time.
