Features & Specifications of XDM 10mm:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Some claim that the grip safeties specifically frequently fail in the XDM 10mms. Together, the trigger bar and grip safety are most likely to fail subsequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the trigger is pulled without disengaging the grip safety, the firing pin drops. If the safety is not released as it should be, the slide still locks. But the grip safety fails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Your backstrap safety is likely broken or misaligned. The XDM is built in such a way that the sear is only prevented from moving into the up position when your grip safety is fully depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution is either return it to the store where you purchased it or send it to Springfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This gun’s magazine release is atrociously bad. To release a magazine, you must switch your grip and apply direct pressure with your thumb, frequently with the other hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both fully loaded and empty magazines have this issue. From a normal firing position, releasing a magazine is nearly impossible and leaves a deep imprint of the magazine release on your thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, when a loaded magazine is inserted, it rattles very loudly. But that seems like a relatively minor (but annoying) issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay in the range of 200gr shots. Like the Underwood 200 gr. The 220 may have numerous cycling issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would probably be better if the button were longer, but the main problem is the amount of force needed to press it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is extremely difficult to eject a magazine with rounds in it without significantly changing your grip on the gun. Because any downward pressure on the magazine makes it significantly harder to release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is compounded by the short magazine release button. Thankfully, the mag release becomes loosened with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trigger reset could be better. It is long but audible and tactile. It feels longer than it actually is due to the somewhat long trigger pull and overtravel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The trigger reset on the gun frequently fails. It appears as though the raised boss on the disconnector safety release is allowing the trigger bar to slide by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it will always work if you rack the slide and ride it forward. But, it won’t work if you pull the slide back and then let it advance on its own (as if it were firing). Strange quirk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This appears to be a dry firing issue and it only occurs when you rack the slide in a particular way. A little more room is required for the trigger bar to pass the disconnector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Normally, when you let the slide slam forward, it jars the system enough for it to function. Over time, it might polish itself up. But those parts are difficult to keep from wearing out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the edge of the ejection port, a brass smear is frequently visible. It is on the very edge where the slide’s side and the ejection port meet. It might not have an impact on how the gun works though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fix<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no need to be concerned; the extractor is only mildly aggressive. Installing a 22-pound recoil spring will solve the issue by reducing the slide velocity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The last round in the mag fails to go into the battery often. You may try racking the slide. But that may get it stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Try a different HP ammo. Bullets like Hornady Tap might be changed to see if it solves the issue. Gold Dots, HST. PXD, and Ranger T are good ammo. But each XDM is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the round’s overall length. Some firearms prefer shorter OAL. Grab some Simichrome Polish and give the breech face and the area under the extractor a light polishing. Additionally, give the ramp and the chamber a polish with a tight patch and a q-tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAction<\/strong><\/td> Striker-fired Semi-auto.<\/td><\/tr> Caliber<\/strong><\/td> 10mm.<\/td><\/tr> Grip<\/strong><\/td> Interchangeable backstraps, Elite mag well.<\/td><\/tr> Frame Finish<\/strong><\/td> Melonite<\/td><\/tr> Product weight<\/strong><\/td> 30.4 oz.<\/td><\/tr> Capacity<\/strong><\/td> 11, 15 rounds<\/td><\/tr> Sights<\/strong><\/td> Adjustable rear, fiber optic front.<\/td><\/tr> Barrel length<\/strong><\/td> 3.8\/ 5.25\/4.5inches. <\/strong><\/td><\/tr> Overall length<\/strong><\/td> 8.3 inches.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n ![\"Springfield](\"https:\/\/gunanalyst.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Common-Springfield-XDM-10mm-Problems-and-Solutions-1024x536.webp\")
