SA Compact OSP With More Horsepower

 

The Springfield XDM Elite 10mm was released in late September 2021 as a compact carry pistol option with more “horsepower” than its predecessors.

There are two versions initially available:

• the XD-M Elite 3.8 in. Compact OSP with Hex Dragonfly optic, or 

• the XD-M Elite 3.9 in. Compact OSP without optic

Though the latter version is a slick-top, it does have a plate in place to mount an optic with the appropriate footprint later.

This means it will accept the optic of your choice using interchangeable optics mounting plates.
