I'm liking this damn thing...
It has a little over 2500rds through it since I bought it in January. Majority of it being WinWB and Atlantic Arms Ammo with 115gr bullets, several hundred Fed+P+ 115gr. No malfunctions, has not been cleaned yet.
Few photos from today.
5 shots, WWB, at 15yds:
I have a nasty flinchbuckjerk that tends to push the shots left. This was typical at 25yds, 10rds. Red sq. is 5 shots from my 1911.
I cycled through about 100 snap cap/live ammo drills, working on minimizing the anticipation of the shot. This was the last series of the session, 5 shots, each starting from the low ready at 25yds:
Working with the Springfield has been a nice change of pace from the long guns. The XDM points well and is similar in size to the 1911 I'm used to. I think it is easily capable of consistently shooting five shots into 3" or less at 25yds, if the shooter is capable.
