I just purchased an XDm 4.5 9mm. The magazine is very difficult to remove with any more than 5 rounds in a mag. With all 19 it is near impossible to drop the mag with a standard grip. I have to use the other hand or rotate the gun and use as much force as I can muster. It is not a huge issue, as there is no real time pressure I can conceive of where I must be in some big rush to drop a full mag, but I can foresee a tactical reload situation in which I wish to top off and with 5-15 rounds it is still quite difficult to do so.
1) Does this get better with break in/time? 2) Is there any way to improve this/modify the firearm Thanks. |

Thanks, mens. I am new to these firearms, although I have recommended 2 friends to make them their own. This thing is beaucoup accurate!
Now onto what mods to do. I think a fiber optic front sight only will be best, as the tritiums are the least visible in daylight (primarily an IDPA competition gun-SSP) I am definitely going to seek an overtravel reduction as well as a trigger pull reduction. Me thinks 4 lbs sounds about right, as I intend to carry this thick mutha wif regularity. I have not decided to go with the in-house Spr. Custom shop or a local gunsmithy and something from Springer or whoever it was. Thoughts? Thanks! |
