Being in Maryland, it goes into Gun Jail for 7 days, then I can take possession. My Springfield Armory XD-M Elite OSP 10MM was lonely being the only 10MM in the collection. I had to get it a friend.

As much as I am tempted to make this a political football, like the other side does, its best to handle this honestly. Despite what motivations you could assign to this person, they are simply deranged and the mental health industry has failed once again. I suspect you will fine this person was...

Just got my 10mm threaded barrel for my XD-M Elite OSP. @835mag the retrofit barrel accessory appears to have a longer stretch of the bulked out end to fit the slide, at least more than I have seen in other SA barrels. Granted I'm going from appearance, I didn't actually mic O.D.s on the...

BTW, steel on steel has a higher friction co-efficient than copper, I think brass isn't much different. As well, even mild steel is harder than copper. So, bi-metal bullets "could" be a concern for barrel wear, while I don't know for sure, I'd assume brass jackets rounds are less likely to be...

Fiocchi appears to have brass jacketed bullets instead of copper. Perhaps its just a different alloy, afterall brass is an alloy of copper that might appear more brassish. I've noticed a lot of cheap AMSCOR has brass jacketed bullets as well. I can't find anything about barrel wear using brass...

You never know, if its worth the $160 to you to try it and have to abandon the idea. Of course its possible it could damage the slide, but I wouldn't think that would be likely. I'm more thinking that couple of hundreds of an inch difference could throw off the accuracy of the weapon. Perhaps...

The 4.5" threaded barrel refers to it being designed to work with the slide for 4.5" barrels. The barrel itself is actually longer of course to extend from the end of the slide. My guess, it would not work. It may actually fir your 3.8" slide, despite it perhaps looking a little ridiculous with...

I have the XD-M Elite 10mm with the Magwell, and being in MD with its very goofy gun and magazine laws, I had to get all new magazines. Its been long enough that I can't remember for sure, But I seem to remember exactly what Hans Gruber said. I have an aftermarket magwell on my XD-M .45 ACP and...

I just got the .45 ACP threaded barrel, it fits my XD-M .45ACP perfectly. I have not fired it yet. Waiting for my 10 MM to arrive version to arrive, I purchased from a different source. The ramp is polished very nicely, all fit and finish look better than OEM. No my XD-M Elite OSP 10mm will...

I haven't checked in a while, but I just noticed that SA accessory store is selling threaded barrels for the XD-M series as replacement for the standard length barrels. They are match grade barrels come in 9mm, 10mm and .45ACP. And best thing, unlike the few barrels available from the...

The problem with caseless ammunition is that no case is ejected from the fire arm, well, because its caseless. Thus all the heat that would have been carried away with the case is not and the firearm gets hotter much quicker. The Polymer case does carry away heat as it is ejected. Polymer...

I'd only add, the first part and most important part is recognize you're doing it. Once you realize you're doing it you can correct it, you can do it with some practice with just yourself and the pistol, but a tool like in the link certainly can help and get far better at breaking the habits and...

When I jerk a shot, and I shoot infrequently enough that I jerk more than a few, its always low and to the left. I'm assuming you're shooting right handed. My son shoots left handing and when he jerks shots they go right, and he only does it with my single stack 1911's, which has a narrower...

This reminds me of 1999 and the Y2K fears. While some nervousness about the issue was actually justified. The absolute doomsday scenarios being predicted were absolute black helicopter conspiracy theories. If you listened to their explanations, it was just ridiculous leaps in logic that every...

Remember, Joe told the BATF to ban Ghost Guns, the BATF watered his order down to you can't buy the frames and tools as a kit. (BTW, that was because in the public comment phase of the rule change, it became absolutely clear their rule change was unconstitutional over-reach (by the guy who calls...

AFA as the EOTECH EFLX, no problem mounting. My only problem was the adapter plate (the EFLX uses the Leupold Deltapoint Pro adapter BTW) is so tight fitting, the Cerakote actually interfered. I had to file it down a bit and re-spray the adapter plate. Someone has been posting the EFLX are...

Another option, find a local Cerakote Pro and get a quote to have him redo it. Granted, I totally understand if you do not want to pay for something Springfield should correct, but it would be quicker and easier for probably a better finish and not cost that much.

I have the XD-M Elite OSP Tactical 9mm Cerakoted in FDE. I have absolutely no issue with the finish and its laid down perfect. I often compare it side by side with my AO M1911A1 that is Parkerized, with the same age and useage to compare the finishes, and Cerakote is winning out over Parkerizing...

Sounds like you need a better set of punches, I discovered the cheap set I have (probably from china) was bending on a stuck pin using a little more than normal force, but still short of what should bend a punch.

As well as checking headspace and chamber walls, inspect the brass that jammed after it is ejected. Look for signs of damage that could tell you what happened to make it jam in the chamber....
