Feels great in the hand with the extended mag. It’s not bad for concealed carry as long as you don’t have the extended mag in. Shoots great and easy to operate/disassemble.

The this gun has a nice feel to the grips. It is a little heavy on the slide for a compact pistol but it doesn't bother me. I love the safety features on also. I've put at least 300 rounds through it with no issues. Overall no complaints.

I purchased the XD(m) Compact in 9mm recently because I am extremely pleased with my XD(m) 5.25 competition pistol (also purchased from Bud's and highly recommended), and I wanted an every day carry pistol that matched the ergonomics and trigger action of the gun I shoot the most. Plus I already had holsters, mag holders, and such for the XD(m), so it just made a lot of sense. I put off the purchase until I found that Springfield has now discontinued the XD(m) Compact series - in ALL calibers.
If you like the XD(m) and want it in a more compact form factor, I recommend you purchase one while Bud's still has them in stock, as Springfield is not making any more. If you want one a compact pistol that holds a full double stack load of ammo - do like I did, and write to Springfield customer service, and ask them to bring it back to the lineup.
I've now put a couple hundred rounds of practice ammo, as well as some +P through this pistol, and all I can says is WOW! The action as in all XD(m) pistols is smooth, and even with +P there is very little perceived recoil due to the weight and mass of the pistol, even with the flush fitting 13 round magazine installed. With the extended 19 round magazine and front fiber optic site, I feel that this gun gives my 5.25" a run for its money!

After doing my homework on this weapon, the Xdm9 compact I ordered came exactly as described. Operated amazingly right out of the box. All items included were of high quality including the box it came in.

I got this because of my familiarity with the full size xdm. I shoot very well with this compact also, especially with the 19 round magazine which allows me to get my whole hand on the gun. if you're a fan of the full size this makes a great comfortable carry gun that is also enjoyable for a day of plinking. only complaint is about size, wish I could get my right pinky on the gun with the 13 rounder. I have large hands though so it's to be expected.

Great gun, buds answered all my questions swiftly. The purchase was the best price I could find both in stores and on line stores.

First day to try my new XDm 3.8 9mm compact. It was a delightful experience. Once I got the right back strap and had a nice feel in the hand I shot 250 rounds no failures. Love the trigger pull. Money well spent. Thanks BudsGunShop and fog house firearms for handling FFL transfer. I will be a return customer for sure !

The pistol is one word. Adaptable. Want a lead hurling compact with 19 rounds going down range. Here you go. Want a CCW handgun with a short grip but a 12 rd capacity. Here you go. Sights are awesome, trigger is a little sponge-y, grip is a tad on the thinner side BUT all in all. Awesome firearm.

I love this XDM Compact it conceals well. I put 250 of hardball and 150 JHP though it no problems. I been carrying it for the last two weeks at the 2:30 it's very comfortable to wear.

This is my first gun and I really like it. It came in a lockable case. There were two magazines (a 19 and a 13 round), a gun lock, a cleaning brush and gun oil. I started to break it in last weekend at the range (only about 200 rounds). The recoil is minimal and it’s easy to do a field breakdown. The only slight issue wasn’t the weapon. It had to do with the FFL transfer. The transfer slip only showed only my name and the store it was shippied to, would have like the have the serial number and/or my address on the transfer slip. This makes for an easier verification process for them, so I could pick up the weapon with less hassle.

Excellent experience. Great company. I’m loving this sidearm. Fits me like it was custom made. Incredibly accurate and functions flawlessly. I highly recommend this gun to anyone looking for an exceptional weapon.

I have made many purchases from Buds and as always, this one went without a hitch. They are consistently great to deal with. I purchased my XDm in December and got a great price. When I registered for my free mags and case they were in my hands 8 days later. Now in my opinion that speaks volumes for Springfield Armory. NO waiting "6 to 8 weeks" as I've come to expect with other mail-in offers and rebates. And now for the gun. Springfield has been building XDms for quite a few years now and after having the opportunity to put 150 rounds through mine I understand why. The gun was received in immaculate condition. No flaws or machine marks anywhere. All I did was some minor lubrication and the gun was ALMOST ready. Now as some have mentioned in other reviews the mag release on these guns can be a bear to operate right out of the box. In my case, I added a little gun oil to each side of the release and worked it about 150 times in each direction. Now the release is totally smooth. And the shooting? This gun is super accurate and easy to control. In just a few rounds I found myself zeroed in and shooting some of my best ever. The fiber optic sights work well (I changed out the original red for green). The trigger, for me, is perfectly adequate and easy to control. Are there better triggers out there? Absolutely. The point is, this one works, is easy to control, has a decent reset, and allows for quick and accurate shots. From shot 1 to 150 the gun performed flawlessly, with no failures to feed or eject. Now, this gun does have heft, so it will best serve most folks in roles other than concealed carry. The 13 round magazine allowed me to get part of my pinky on the grip, but adding an extension allowed a full unencumbered grip. The 19 round is sweet also. Never too much ammo in your gun, right? All guns are a sum of their parts, and the Springfield Armory XDm Compact 9mm as a whole is a superb, reliable firearm. I'm super happy for having purchased mine.

GREAT Gun for a GREAT price! I've been wanting this Springfield model for some time now, couldn't believe Bud's Gun Shop has it for this low! As usual, FAST Shipment and EXCELLENT service with Bud's! This is my second fire arm through Bud's and won't be my last!

Everything about the XDm and the brand says QUALITY, from the well engineered, accurate, rugged pistol to the stainless steel magazines and accessories that come along in a box. The barrel is match grade, and its rifleing is deep and precise. This firearm is accurate, easy to shoot and very simple to take down. It has a higher bore axis than other guns I own, which translates into a slightly greater muzzle rise but only slight kick. Every detail is thoughtfully engineered from its loaded and cocked indicators that leave no guesswork of its ready status, to all the accessories in the box, even 3 different sight color tubes. Depending on the magazine, it can transform from a 13 round compact, to a 19 round combat firearm. Springfield thought of everything when they created this package. There is nothing cheezy about this brand when you compare performance and features to similarly priced brands that come wrapped in a plastic bag then placed inside a cardboard box...(Sorry Smith). Buds was a pleasure to deal with. My gun arrived sooner than promised with no problems at all. I know Bud's angle....to under-commit and over-deliver. I will use Buds whenever possible.

I'm impressed. I finally got to shoot the XDm at one of my local ranges after buying the Compact model from Bud's during a recent sale When I picked it up at my local FFL he asked, "You paid how much? That was a great deal!" A young sailor was picking a custom-made pistol his unit had made to commemorate a recent deployment and during the State background check wait period, the salesman told him of a special sale on the full-size version of XDm. The sailor said he had one and loved it but had to sell it for reason not disclosed. In addition to the custom model he was there to pick-up, he added to XDm to his purchase. Now that I've shot the XDm, I'm impressed with its accuracy, even with my old failing eyes. I shot a few left over Remington rounds from a previous range trip and 100 rounds of Independent Ammunition I bought on-site. The XDm performed flawlessly. I got the gun for what price? It performs as well as my much more expensive pistols. After finishing my ammo, I was chatting with the range officer, I know well as I'm a regular at this range, and he asked what I was shooting. When I told him the XDm, he said, "great gun". This one is a winner.

I had the opportunity to shoot this gun earlier this week. Like all of the Springfield XDM handguns that I own, this one performs excellent. For those who have larger hands, I highly recommend purchasing a magazine grip extension. Other than that, the gun shoots great. The take down and cleaning is simple an easy. You will love this weapon.

My wife bought a "cute" taurus 9mm, but after shooting my xdm 3.8 her grouping shrank to half the size. same target same range. So when we go to the range I have 2 now. This gun is so good I bought 2.

I am ordinarily a very strong proponent of Springfield, and by extension HS Produkt(the company that manufactures the XD line). however, I have noticed over the years, an apparently intentional propensity of increasing the trigger pull weight on their compact and sub-compact handguns. I have owned several XD, XD-s, XD-e, and XDm's and this new production XDm compact has probably the heaviest trigger pull of any XDm, with it being on par with the heavy XD-s trigger pull. I decided to have a PRP trigger installed so I can't speak to the reliability and such, however I have never had an issue with XD reliability or accuracy. new XDms have better sights than older models and have better triggers than the XD, even when compared to the Mod2s. heavily recommend aside from a continued "dumbing down" of the triggers in their carry pieces.

Thanks buds! Great service as usual. Was expecting to get a 3dot version, but ended up with a fiber optic front sight and i was super happy about that. Will continue to get my business!

This was my first time buying a gun and Buds exceeded my expectations. The package was delivered to my choice of FFLD without a problem and I was pleased with the quality. I’m hooked on Buds and nobody else had better prices!
