Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition Black Essentials Package

The Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition Black Essentials Package delivers a purpose-built platform for shooters who demand accuracy and speed at the range. Engineered by Springfield Armory, this full-size pistol combines a 5.25-inch barrel with a match-grade trigger system, giving you the mechanical advantage needed for competitive shooting and high-volume practice sessions. The Essentials Package strips away extras to provide the core components that matter most: the firearm, two magazines, and a paddle holster.

Overview

Built on the proven XDM frame, the Springfield XDM 40 S&W 5.25 Competition Black Essentials Package is designed for shooters who require a flat-shooting, low-recoil platform in .40 S&W. The extended 5.25-inch barrel increases sight radius and velocity, while the competition-grade trigger offers a consistent break with minimal overtravel. The Essentials Package configuration keeps the focus on performance, excluding the hard case and extra accessories found in full packages to deliver a lower entry cost without sacrificing the shooter-grade components. This model is factory chambered in .40 S&W, making it a strong choice for USPSA Limited, IDPA ESP, or steel challenge divisions.
