XD-M Elite 10MM Compact Grip Options - Removing Magwell and Extended Mag
Рет қаралды 77,736
2 жыл бұрынLove the new Springfield XD-M Elite 10MM Compact but have had trouble with pinky placement and flared magwell.
Here will look at the standard grip vs Sig P320 X-Compact, HK 45C and Sig P938. Will also show grip with the extended 15 round mag.

I just got an XD-M compact in 10mm. It’s the first time I’ve shot 10mm. It’s a fun load to shoot, stout but Springfield (or the Croatians) makes it easier to handle with a really well designed pistol. It’s going to be one of my favorites for edc. I agree it’s a much better hold without the magwell.

I just removed my magwell ( pretty easy). The extended mag is in place but only had the ( small #1) matching mag grip extension. My XDM game with two 9 round mags. I picked up a few used ones . The most confusing issue is match your mag sleeve extension to the back strap. I have large hands a d wanted to use the larger back strap but my mag sleeve is small #1. Really seems to confusing to match it up. I found one used mag with the Pierce style mag sleeve, works great in pistol ( 3.8 .45 OSP) . Love the extend grip and ability to go conceal by just changing mags!!!!! I have carried a Glock 30 S with Glock 21 mag as back up. Both pistols are capable of the same mag capacities due to the exceptence of larger magazines. Range bound today!!!

FYI PEARCE GRIPS have made a PG-ME10+ pinky extension for the XDM10 ELITE COMPACT. After removing the magwell extension, I swapped out my base plates for this one and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Perfect feeling in the hand now and super ERGO! guys if you have this model, you will not be sorry you got a PG-ME10+ extension. It adds a round also to the mag. 12+1 instead of 11+1.

This was actually informative. Nice job all the other reviews don’t really talk or actually show this. The magazine well is done that way so you really get the shortest grip for carry and concealment. If I remove it because it bothers me to I will just edc my Glock 20 2x4. Now I get to play with my back straps and red dot 🔴. Funny I never owned a red dot and I really don’t care to even put it on. This gun is like a figit spinner you can constantly tweak it for 700 bucks. It’s up there with my CZ 🍊 shadow 2 for fun even though two different animals. Smith and Wesson 10 mm turned me off with 7 plastic plates and different screw lengths and fair trigger compared to the shield. We have to support our Vodka drinking neighbors. Ha enjoy.

While on the 10mm may be different, on the 9mm you can use the +rounds base pads with the sleeve. In other words, you can try to install that +1 round plate on that 15 round mag with sleeve. On the 9mm you can use the 22 round mag with a sleeve and fits fine.

Good review especially showing the flat base plate. They coukd have added that 1/2 making a 12rd mag as standard and I could get a good grip. Guess they wanted it with the short grip to conceal.

My ring finger doesnt even touch the gun without the extended mag. Was looking for one that was stock w 15 rd mag but S&W had to long of a grip for any kind of concealment. I got a dragonfly red dot for mine. It def looks 1000x better with the extended mag. Never owned a springfield prior to this gun. Got mostly S&W pistols and a fn 5.7. If i didnt already own the fn id go get the ruger 5.7 for sure.

@exploringcolorado720 2 жыл бұрын
I wish one of these reviews would measure exactly how long the grip is from top to bottom, so I can compare that to my current XD-9, which fits in my hand perfectly. I cannot tell from the videos if the full size would be more comfortable than the compact with extended magazine. Not a single dealer in my area has either model in stock, so i can't feel it prior to purchasing.

I believe when you switched to the flat bottom option on the 10 round mag that you did not do it correctly. It looks as if you put the metal plate inside which I believe only works with the extension for the flared mag well. I had trouble at first when I switched mine as the instructions wasn't very clear on that until I figured it out. You will notice that the base plates are made different and that the spring actually catches on the flat base plate to hold it on as where the other uses the metal plate to catch and hold and allow for 1 more round. I think that's also why the flat bottom caught and wasn't flat when you had it in your gun. Hope that helps.

I noticed the same, I removed the part to get mine magazine with the flat bottom and as you said the metal part does not belong there. From my point of view it looks great and also is compatible with the 15 round magazine. The only downside of using the flat bottom magazine is that you lost one round, but I'm ok with that. It's less bulky and easier to conceal, and if you want more round you just change to the 15 round magazine and you are good to go.

What is the point of a mag well, anyway?
@xxdarthvaderxx4033 Жыл бұрын
I bought the Pearce Grip XD/XDM 45 ACP Extension Adds 0 part # RSR_PGXD45, from XDGUNParts and it fit my 10 mm XDM Elite 3.8 with no issues. Just remove the black base plate. I didnt like the one specifically made for the 10mm that adds a round. Trust me the XD 45 ACP one works fine😊

Do the 15 round mag insert and fit with the magwell attached?
@TheArkansasGunGuy 8 ай бұрын
I wish I could validate for you but I actually sold the gun last year. I think it fits with it can’t say for sure. Appreciate you tuning in and sorry I could not 100% answer.

Why didn't you put the pin in the back strap with out the mag well the 15 round mags and 10 fit the extension on the 15 round the rubber covers and extends the grip
@calimade8136 Жыл бұрын
Just add the Pearce pinky extension
@crayshaunhenderson1265 7 ай бұрын
so if i take off the magwell and put the 14 round magazine in there i will have room for my pinky sounds great. so you're saying it's better to buy the compact instead of buying the full size gun because i wanted both of them but you're saying it doesn't make sense to do both of them right
@TheArkansasGunGuy 7 ай бұрын
Probably not to buy both. I wound up selling the Compact about a year after this video. Just couldn’t get used to the grip. If I had it to do over I would probably go with a full size! Thanks so much for watching!!

If anyone is wondering, even with medium size hands, the compact with magwell grip is too short. Croatians must have tiny little hands.

How and Why does your magwell come out so easily? I heard someone on a forum say that they even broke the plastic pin trying to get the magwell off. I bought a 15 round clip and they say you must remove the magwell but I tried and does not come off. I'm scared of breaking it like the guy in the forums. There has to be more to it than just push and pull away. There must be a pin or something that needs to be pressed or done to remove the magwell
@TheArkansasGunGuy 2 жыл бұрын
No pin required to remove. It’s been so long since I removed (and don’t want to put back on!!) that I can’t remember the exact process. I do remember it wasn’t easy or straight forward but it did eventually pop right out with minimal force. Sorry I don’t remember rexactky the details - but do know for sure no pin to remove. THANK YOU so much for watching!!

@@TheArkansasGunGuy I got it now. Yes there is a pin on the side. That has to be punched out according to the manual instructions that I downloaded from Springfield. Thank God, I was scared of breaking it. The guy that broke his on that forum said that Springfield told him that because the guns were made in Croatia they did not have the spare parts he needed. But I got it out thank God with the plastic pin in tact. I wish I could send you a photo so that you can see that pin and where it is located. The punch out pin or roll out pin is located and hiding in the grooves of the backstrap lower left and right hand corners of it. Once I punched out that pin both the back strap and the magwell came out with super simple ease. I got the 15 round clip with the extention and that is REALLY the only reason that I had to take off the magwell. I love that magwell, but CANNOT use the 15 round clip with the magwell. Springfield should have thought of something better to do than that. But it does a really nice flush fit when you put in that 15 round clip in the gun. Feels bigger, but hey 15 plus 1 rounds of 10mm. I'm not gonna complain lol. Thanks for the heads up. Good video by the way! I subscribed by the way too.

It was a QVO index holster they (Springfield) promoted heavily when gun first launched. It's really good. No longer listed on their site, but QVO (Quick, Violent, Over) has a website with lots of cool options. THANK YOU for watching!
