Springfield Armory XD-M Elite 3.8 Compact 9mm Black Pistol

A: Yes, I have the 4½" barrel version of this gun, and it includes a U sight rear with a white line, and a red fiber optic front sight. This gun shoots incredibly, and the sights are very fast to acquire, I do wish it had either tritium in the front sight, or came optics ready ( the Tactical comes optics ready and with threaded barrel, but the standard version doesn't have an optics ready version in a full size)

A: Chad, yes Sir, this UPC code has the Fiber Optic Front and Tactical Rack U-Dot Rear Sights from the factory. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Donal, no, this does not have a manual thumb safety. This has a grip safety and a trigger blade safety but no manual thumb safety. Hope this helps.

A: No manual safety, it features passive safety only. it has a trigger bar safety, a 1911 style grip safety, and striker channel block (drop safety) no thumb lever, just get a full firing grip with your finger fully on the trigger and its good to go

A: Donal, only a Grip Safety and a Trigger Blade Safety. It also has an internal Drop Sear Safety. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Donal, no the XDM Elite does not come with a manual thumb safety. Have a great day!

A: Hi Anthony and welcome. Yes Sir it is. Just be sure and inspect/clean more often if on a steady diet of +P ammo. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Anthony, yes you can shoot +P but not +P+. The XD series of pistols is very robust and can handle +P designated ammo just fine. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: Anthony, it sure is. This will fire +p ammo no problem. As with every manufacturer they recommend limited use since it can wear parts quicker than standard velocity ammo but unless you're shooting thousands of rounds doubt you'll ever notice a difference vs standard velocity ammo. So once in awhile to test defense ammo and won't have any issue. I just wouldn't be shooting hundreds of rounds every range trip threw it. Hope this helps.
