Springfield Armory XD-M 5.25 Competition Series 9mm, Bi-Tone, 19+1, Match-Grade 5.25" Barrel

The 5.25" hammer-forged, Melonite-treated barrel is cut for accuracy and durability, providing a longer sight radius and higher velocity than standard service-length slides.
A lightening window in the stainless slide trims reciprocating mass, helping maintain a flat shooting profile during rapid strings. Aggressive grasp serrations front and rear aid manipulation even with gloves or sweat.
Competition-oriented sights pair a bright red fiber-optic front with a fully adjustable steel rear, allowing precise elevation and windage adjustments to fine-tune point of impact.
The polymer frame houses Springfield’s interchangeable backstrap system to tailor grip size, while a full-length accessory rail supports lights or lasers. A grip safety, trigger safety, firing-pin block, loaded-chamber indicator, and striker-status indicator provide layered protection without compromising the clean, articulated trigger pull.
Introduced in 2011 and field-proven at USPSA, IPSC, and Bianchi Cup events, the XD-M 5.25 Competition Series remains a popular out-of-the-box choice for shooters who want match performance without custom gunsmithing.
