Chambered in 9mm, it offers a 22+1 round capacity with the included extended magazine, while the black Melonite finish provides corrosion resistance and durability under heavy use. The fiber optic front sight ensures rapid target acquisition in varied lighting conditions, making this pistol a strong contender for USPSA, IDPA, or range training applications.

Overview

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm full-size black pistol with fiber optic front sight is designed as a target-oriented variant of the XD-M Elite series. It features a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation correction, paired with a red fiber optic front sight that draws the eye to the front post for faster sight alignment. The 5.25-inch forged steel barrel is crowned and button-rifled for consistent bullet stabilization, while the slide features deep cocking serrations front and rear for positive manipulation. The black polymer frame incorporates the XDM Elite grip texture with interchangeable backstraps, allowing shooters to tailor the grip circumference to their hand size. This model ships with two magazines: one 22-round extended magazine with a loaded chamber indicator, and one 20-round flush-fit magazine for concealed carry or duty use.

Who It’s For

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm full-size black pistol with fiber optic front sight is intended for three primary user groups: competitive shooters in USPSA Production or Carry Optics divisions; intermediate to advanced shooters seeking a high-accuracy range pistol for skill development; and law enforcement or security personnel who require a full-size sidearm with an extended sight radius.
