Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Bi-Tone Competition Essentials Package

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Bi-Tone Competition Essentials Package represents a purpose-built platform for shooters who demand precision, capacity, and durability in a .45 ACP pistol. Engineered for practical competition use, this package combines the proven XDM series reliability with a longer sight radius and a two-tone finish designed for rapid target acquisition and corrosion resistance. Each unit is factory-tested and ready for range use upon transfer.

Overview

The Springfield XDM 45ACP 5.25 Bi-Tone Competition Essentials Package is a full-size, striker-fired handgun featuring a 5.25-inch match-grade barrel and a two-tone slide with a black Armory Kote finish over a stainless steel slide body. This model is specifically configured as a competition essentials package, including three 13-round magazines, a paddle and belt holster, dual magazine pouches, and a lockable hard case. The 5.25-inch barrel length provides a 6.25-inch sight radius, reducing sight alignment error for faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The frame incorporates a Picatinny accessory rail and the signature XDM grip texture with interchangeable backstraps (three sizes included) for personalized hand fit. The overall weight is 30 ounces unloaded, balancing muzzle control with recoil management for the .45 ACP cartridge.
