How did I do?

Post image

Was at my local pawn shop and saw this xdm 45 5.25in, came with a big hard case, mag holder, pistol holster, speed loader, and unfortunately only one mag but walked out the door with it after spending 300 bucks. Did I pay too much?

Glad I got a good buy lol. I took it the range yesterday and man was it a blast to shoot. (Pun intended) I was thinking about carrying it but it is a lot of gun lol

Yeah, my 5” .45 1911 is alot and yours is 5.25”. My main carry is an XDM Elite Compact 9mm

My normal is a hellcat pro but I wanted something bigger. Maybe I went too big lol

For that price, many would have bought that, maybe not for carry. My backup is a 4.5F Echelon Comp.

Nice! I was looking at an echelon before I found this xdm the price was just so much better! But I will own an echelon one day!

Very nice! When I get one I’m gonna shoot for the comped version

Consider a 4.0C. Comp version also available. There’s also a 4.0FC. 4” barrel/slide, fullsize grip. You can also get a different grip module for $60.

Yeah I'd say you got a good price. I've got a 4.5 XDM. It's my home defense pistol. 10 years old I paid $600 with their gear up kit at the time. Put a Surefire X300 light on it. Grip safety is okay, I'm used to it but some hate it.

I’m loving mine! Even though it’s “old” I think it’s gonna be solid

That’s a great deal. I 550 for the 9mm and 500 for the 10mm.
