Shooting Illustrated February 2012

Shooting Illustrated

Fairfax, VA --(Ammoland.com)- Shooting Illustrated’s February issue, on newsstands now, features the Springfield Armory XD(M) 5.25 pistol.

Designed with competitive shooters in mind, this largest XD(M) handgun features a cutout slide to reduce weight and provide for faster cycling, fully adjustable sights, a fiber-optic insert in the front sight post and the XD(M)’s legendary 20-round capacity.

Field Editor Bryce M. Towsley, a multiple-discipline competitive shooter himself, put the 9 mm version of the latest XD(M) offering through its paces, and it fit the bill for IDPA, USPSA, 3-gun and just about any action-pistol competition.

“I found the X(M) to be lively, responsive and easy to control,” Towsley wrote. “In doing a 2x2x2 speed drill, after some practice I could keep my split times for double-tapping the targets at about .27 second.”

Like all XD(M) pistols, the 5.25 ships with a host of accessories, including a polymer holster and a double mag pouch.

As Towsley concluded, “The XD(M) 5.25 is the largest pistol in Springfield Armory’s XD(M) line, and it may be the most versatile.”
