Only time will tell. As you work with this pistol, you get a sense of everything working in concert. That is an excellent analogy for the XDM 5.

XDM 5. Forethought was given to the most crucial element of a competition pistol—ability to zero the sights to the given load.

One such drill proved this with amazing accuracy. Next she had to make her way downrange to the seven-yard line while engaging multiple targets from various shooting emplacements and using different body positions to do so.

These 9mm mags are specific to XDM line of pistols and can be differentiated from XD 9mm mags on sight alone due to their distinct body fluting.
It was hot, and Sharon was clearly winded when she got up to the sevenyard line where she had to send a single bullet from her XDM 5. She ran right up to the line, yanked her XDM 5.

This is a big plus for guys like me who tend to chuck all their shooting gear into a bag when the day is done.
It makes sorting out the gear later an easy task. The pistol sits securely in the holster with the front of the barrel exposed.
A screw in front of the trigger guard controls the tension on the pistol. The magazines with the 5. It will also work great in Production Division, of course. With three magazines in the kit, you can take the 5. This shows the relative thickness of the three grip inserts that come with the 5. I chose the thinnest one to fit my mid-sized mitts. With the grip inset removed, you can see some of the interior structure of the frame.
This is one of my favorite features on the pistol: The low-profile adjustable target sights. The back of the sight is flat and scored with lines that reduce glare, giving a very flat-toned sight picture. This is a truly slick design. The deep chevron-shaped cocking serrations offer plenty of grip for charging the pistol. Three unique interchangeable backstraps let you set your finger position on the trigger to best suit you.
