Opening Shots with the XD-M Elite Compact OSP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new Springfield XD-M Elite Compact OSP is a mouthful to say but a joy to shoot. I’ve got to be honest, before Springfield sent me this pistol to review, I had little to no experience with their handgun offerings aside from their 1911’s. I carry a Glock 43x and most of the striker-fired pistols I own are either M&P’s, Glocks, or CZ’s. After un-boxing this handgun I was incredibly excited to see how it compares to the pistols I’m more accustomed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The XD-M Elite Compact OSP is Springfield’s latest addition to the immensely popular XD-M Elite series. Designed for EDC, Springfield also gives the option of mounting a pistol red dot because it seems like everyone has to have one these days. I’m personally not a huge fan of pistol red dots because I point shoot inside of 10-12 yards but was curious to continue my battle with pistol red dots…spoiler: pistol red dots are winning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Springfield Hellcat has gotten rave reviews not just from the firearms media but also from many of my friends who carry it every day. I had been leaning towards picking up a Hellcat but the XD-M Elite Compact sparked my interest as an alternative option. It packs quite a lot of features into a pretty tight package. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
