\"Silence<\/a>

Silence anyone? The new Springfield Armory XD(M) Threaded 45 (top) and 9mm (bottom)<\/p><\/div>\n

Shhh! At the request of Springfield Armory, we’re going to keep quiet for a little while. I picked up a package yesterday from the folks in Geneseo, and in the box were too shiny new pistols. I mean really new, like not even on the shelves yet. The first one is a 9mm XD(M) and the second is a .45 caliber XD(M). The cool part? Both have threaded barrels! I can take a hint. I think Springfield Armory is telling me to shut the hell up.<\/p>\n

Hot off the press, the new models share the same features of the full-size XD(M)\u2019s with some obvious exceptions. Before we get into that, I should note that the 9mm version is an exceptionally cool looking flat dark earth color with a black slide while the .45 ACP model is all black. One more thing, the 9mm is a standard Springfield Armory product, but the .45 is a special edition for Lipsey\u2019s. You can buy either one starting Friday June 5, 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Like<\/a>

Like most Springfield Armory guns, this one comes in a beautiful hard case, includes three magazines, a holster, magazine carrier and magazine loading tool. It’s everything you need except ammo.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"Both<\/a>

Both 9mm and .45 ACP models come with three magazines. The 9mm mags hold 19 rounds while the .45’s hold 13.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Specs<\/h2>\n

The core guns are the same XD(M) full-size models so we won\u2019t go through the full details on the XD(M) family. Instead, we\u2019ll focus on the highlights of the new threaded models. For a quick review, here are the basic specs.<\/p>\n

\"Tall<\/a>

Tall rear sight for suppressor use and the XD(M) cocking indicator.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"Front<\/a>

Front sights are extra tall to see over large silencers.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

The Differences<\/h2>\n

Well, it goes without saying that the big difference is that the barrels are threaded, but there\u2019s more than that.<\/p>\n

Yes, the barrel is threaded and comes with a nifty thread protector. Unlike most I\u2019ve seen, this one has vertical grooves (parallel with the bore) instead of a checkered pattern. I have to admit, it looks pretty sharp.<\/p>\n

Threading also means that the gun comes with a little extra. Barrel that is. The prior XD(M) full-size models sported 4.5-inch barrels. As the threading needs to extend past the slide, these measure a full \u00be-inch longer. Yeah, it\u2019s functional and looks neat, even without a suppressor attached. Better yet, you\u2019ll get a little extra velocity from that extra barrel length. Depending on your choice of ammo, it might be in the range of 50 to 100 feet per second more than a standard XD(M). Generally, that\u2019s desirable. Just be aware in case you want to shoot suppressed with borderline subsonic rounds. It\u2019s possible, though unlikely, that a round that\u2019s subsonic in a regular XD(M) will go supersonic in this model, just because of the extra barrel length.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"Not<\/a>

Not only are the new model barrels threaded, they’re about .75-inches longer than the standard XD(M)<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a>

Two additional back strap inserts adjust grip size to your hand.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also notice that the sights have grown a bit. Both new threaded models come with tall sights that help maintain an unobstructed sight picture when using a silencer. Both front and rear are dovetailed, so if you prefer another brand or want to install tritium sights, you can easily do that. The sights on my sample models are standard three dot. At this point, I have no information as to whether Springfield Armory will offer their own night sight versions. No worries, there are plenty available from other sight vendors.<\/p>\n

Shooting Quietly!<\/h2>\n

Hey, since I had two guns ready to go with threaded barrels, I decided to try two different suppressors. Both of the models I had handy are .45 caliber silencers, but the larger cans work just fine on 9mm and .40 S&W also. You just have to replace the suppressor piston to match the smaller 1\/2×28 TPI threading on the 9mm XD(M).<\/p>\n

On the XD(M) 9mm, I installed a SilencerCo \/ SWR Octane 45<\/a>. This is a round suppressor with a piston mount option. That spring loaded action helps semi-automatic guns cycle properly when dragging the extra weight of the suppressor during recoil. The Octane is 1.73-inches in diameter. The extra-tall front sight post is clearly visible through the extra-tall rear sight notch with this not-so-tiny silencer installed. There\u2019s actually a little room to spare. To give you an idea, the entire front dot rested above the top of the suppressor, so the factory-installed sights worked beautifully in this configuration.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The front sight is plenty tall to clear this SilencerCo Osprey 45 suppressor.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"Most<\/a>

Most 45 ACP ammo is subsonic by nature, so the XD(M) 45 is almost always quiet.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to describe how much fun it is to shoot a silenced pistol, especially with subsonic ammunition. If I used the word \u201cgiddy\u201d would that result in the loss of my man card? Perhaps, but that\u2019s still an accurate description. With the 9mm, most of what you hear is the zing of the bullet, just like on old TV westerns. I shot subsonic hand loads, American Eagle 147 grain flat point (subsonic) and Sig Sauer Elite Performance 147 grain V-Crown (subsonic) ammo and all functioned perfectly with the combination of XD(M) and Octane silencer. When you shoot supersonic bullets, like the Blazer 124 grainers I had, you can hear the mini sonic boom traveling down range, even though the muzzle blast is muffled.<\/p>\n

If you think shooting a suppressed 9mm is fun, then try a .45 ACP, especially at an outdoor range. On the XD(M) .45 ACP threaded model, I mounted a SilencerCo Osprey 45<\/a>. You might know this one from the Walking Dead. Main character Rick Grimes uses one frequently to bust Zombie gourds. Just for the record, I bought mine well before his showed up on TV. Anyway, like the Octane, the Osprey has optional piston mounts to assist reliable semi-automatic operation. I just had to swap in the .578×28 TPI version to for the larger diameter .45 barrel.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"Both<\/a>

Both of these 9mm loads are perfect for suppressor use. American Eagle’s 147 grain flat point FMJ and Sig Sauer’s new 147 grain V-Crown.<\/p><\/div>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The XD(M) 45 Threaded with a SilencerCo Osprey 45 suppressor.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

My outdoor range has a huge berm at 100 yards to stop all the lead flying downrange, and this turned out to be quite fun free entertainment. I shot Sig Sauer Elite Performance 230-grain FMJ and Federal Premium HST 230 grain ammo, both of which mosey on down range well below the sound barrier. The most enjoyable part was hearing the loud THUDS as the heavy .45 slugs hit the berm 100 yards away. Sight picture. Easy trigger press. Phhfffttt noise. Wait a bit. THUD! It’s hard to describe in words, but you know the sound. It’s kinda like when you hit a big sofa cushion with a 9-iron. Yes, I\u2019m easily amused, but I\u2019ll bet you would have laughed too.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a>

Two new suppressor-ready models from Springfield Armory: The XD(M) 9mm and XD(M) 45.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half]<\/p>\n

[one_half_last]<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The magazine loading tool clamps onto the rail segment on the magazine carrier so it’s readily available at the range.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/one_half_last]<\/p>\n

Like the XD(M) 9mm \/ Octane combination, the XD(M) 45 Osprey duo worked perfectly with all ammo tested.<\/p>\n

In between the THUD game rounds, I did manage to do a little serious shooting and clocked some velocities, suppressed, through both XD(M) pistols. I set up a Shooting Chrony Beta Master Chronograph 15 feet downrange.<\/p>\n\"Springfield<\/a>\n

Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re an XD(M) fan, you\u2019ll love the new threaded options. If you plan to carry it, just be aware of the extra length out the muzzle end in the event you have a closed holster. Other than that, it\u2019s the gun you know and love. No word yet on availability of threaded barrels only to upgrade existing guns, but we\u2019ll keep an ear out.<\/p>\n

[one_half]<\/p>\n

\"Both<\/a>

Both pistols came with a Kydex paddle holster, dual magazine carrier and magazine loading tool.<\/p><\/div>\n
