Overview

Springfield Armory designed the XDM Elite Precision 5.25 as a dedicated target and competition variant within the XDM Elite line. The slide is machined from billet steel with a black Melonite finish for corrosion resistance and reduced glare. The fiber optic front sight provides a high-visibility aiming reference, while the tactical rack U-notch rear sight allows for rapid target acquisition. The frame features the XDM Elite interchangeable backstrap system, allowing shooters to adjust grip circumference for hand size and glove use. The 5.25-inch barrel is hammer-forged with a 1:10 twist rate, optimized for standard 115-grain to 147-grain 9mm ammunition. The pistol ships with two 22-round extended magazines and a paddle-style magazine loader.
