This months issue of the American Rifleman has an ad of the 45acp 3.8" stls. XDM.Theres no info such as specs,just a pic of a stls slide model.and the SA website has no info yet.I'm interested to see if they expanded the capacity on the 45's like they did on the 9's and 40's.
 
Re: Just saw a Springfield XDM 45 Ad

The slide in the pic says 4.5 so it would appear to be the standards slide as opposed to the 3.8.
 
Re: Just saw a Springfield XDM 45 Ad

I haven't been able to confirm this yet, but it is definitely a 4.5" model ONLY at this time, due out sometime before 4Q 2010, and capacity will be "14" (which SA has not yet indicated whether it is 14+1 or 13+1 for a total of 14rnds)...still a little better than the standard XD by at least 1 round.

Hopefully SA will get the detailed information/specs up on their website sooner rather than later.

You are correct...13+1 on the XD-45. I must have been asleep at the keyboard as I posted that (or wishfully thinking about 14+1)!

Or if you live in NY we can just dream about owning that gun until someone with some balls decides we can be trusted with guns that have more than a 10rd capacity.
 
Re: Just saw a Springfield XDM 45 Ad

can't wait to get my hands on one. Hopefully they increased the round count to 15.
 
Re: Just saw a Springfield XDM 45 Ad

I have never paid much attention to the XD's until I was shopping for Glock 21's at a gun show last week and couldn't find one. I picked up a couple XD's and it felt really good in my hand. Fits nicely and looks great. I think that may have to be my next purchase.

If you can't get it done with 14, what good is one more round going to do?

One more round = one less zombie in the world without having to change mags!!

Hell, I have some 16rnd mags for my XD45 Tactical thanks to AGP Arms!

BUT...I know what you mean. People get hung up on mag capacity too often as a replacement for: 1) poor shooting technique/accuracy; 2) poor caliber selection (obviously that doesn't apply to the .45acp); or 3) poor technique/skill/lack of practice at mag changes.
