Great experience buying from Buds. No issues and what I received was exactly what I ordered. I would definitely buy from them again. As for the gun, well, this is going to be a biased review! I already own the XDM Elite 10mm 4.5 and love it. It has a Holosun 507c on it and it's a blast to shoot, but a bit large to carry so I decided to go for the XDM Elite 10mm 3.8. What a great decision, this gun is just as much fun to shoot, way more concealable and it came with 5 magazines! How can you beat that? If you put the flat base plates on the magazines, they go from 11 to 10 and now you can carry this gun in the communist states (if you have a CCW they recognize). I did that to two of the 5 mags. All in all, this is a great shooting, great looking, versatile pistol and I highly recommend it as a purchase. Oh yeah, one more thing, it's a 10mm, the best millimeter! The only downside for me was the removable Magwell. I removed mine to make it more concealable, and to be able to use the 16 round full-size magazines from my 4.5. Other than that, this gun is a 10, literally!

Springfield Armory XDM Elite Compact OSP Compact 10MM .I find this pistol is easy to carry concealed with or without the optic. However, I strongly recommend the urban carry lock leather holster OWB for the 10mm be it compact or full size. It is very comfortable and concealable, the10mm is an advanced shooter's Pistol not recommended for beginners The pistol is extremely accurate fits the hand well the u-notch sights are quick to acquire the trigger pull is great.I recommend the Magtech 180-grain JHP Ammo it performs flawlessly in my pistol .I also recommend the Urban carry double magazine carrier in addition to the holster this pistol is a dream to own in fact I purchased the full-size 4.5" 10 mm also .I am extremely pleased with the Springfield Armory XD, XDM, and XDM Elite line of pistols and their customer service is second to none.

I love this gun. Soon as I took it to the range and shot it I fell in love with it instantly. I will be ordering more firearms from Budsgunshop from now on .
