I was going to grab one but their online fees and tax to TX kill the deal. If you live near a brick and mortar store, I think this is a great deal. https://www.sportsmans.com/shooting-gear-gun-supplies/handguns/springfield-armory-xd-m-elite-defender-9mm-luger-38in-black-pistol-131-rounds/p/1927058?trk_msg=R25NGSQ3ROS4J4JF67UA3NVANS&trk_contact=TMQLVL1P7367J6QDMLN7045K60&trk_module=pda&trk_sid=9RI9CTSSGEJB9OVSLGB4USV3I4&trk_link=F85JMKC149N4P3DAM79R6GRHAO&utm_source=listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=Order+And+Save&utm_campaign=em-trig-alerts-price-drop&utm_content=price-drop |

I would go as far to say that I would pick the XD Mod. 3 over the XDM Elite just because of the better ergonomics for me. |

I can say that it is a solid pistol that is easy to shoot and relatively easy to carry. The slide serrations work well. I never had any complaints with them. The grip texture is only okay though. I wish they would have given it the grip-zone or the Hellcat/Echelon texture. It is also flawlessly reliable in my experience and very accurate. |

I tried to buy one of these in 10mm when they were on sale at Sportsmans several months ago. It was in stock when I ordered. They canceled my order and said it had gone out of stock. 2 days later they were up on their site, no longer on sale and in stock. Sportsmans refused to honor the price in my order. Fuck them and have Bill call me! |
