Title: Springfield rep confirms projected release of the XDm in .45 by this summer
Post by: Fatman on March 14, 2010, 11:20:24 AM: Just got back from the pistol club, spoke with the SA rep and fired both the XDm in .40 and the tactical .45 . Sweetness!

I asked about the XDm in .45 and he confirmed a projected release 'by this summer'. He also said the likeliness of the XDm being produced for the .357 is 'not probable'.

Safe shooting.

Very easily removed if you don't want it.

Had never heard of this before.

Pistolgear.com has .357 SIG conversion barrels for the XDm-40.

Yep, that's probably why SA sees a production .357 as unnecessary.

I think I just soiled myself.
I love my pair of XD 45's, now they will have a new brother. Unfortunately, one of them is going to be replaced by my new XDM 45...I just don't have the heart to tell em.
