Springfield Armory XD-M Elite Compact OSP 45 ACP Variations & Comparables
Glock 19 is the most proven compact semi-automatic handgun on the market today. Chambered in 9mm Luger, the Glock 19 is a versatile compact version of the standard Glock option. It’s great for use as a backup weapon, concealed carry, or service pistol. The Gen 5 in particular has made some great improvements which include an ambidextrous slide stop lever, flared mag-well, and upgraded barrel design, just to name a few. The G19 has been a favorite amongst police agencies and military units and for good reasons. This gun is simple to operate and easy to maintain, making it a great first gun, CCW, or home defense weapon.
final verdict
Springfield Armory’s XD-M Elite Compact OSP is designed with concealed carry in mind. Its 3.8-inch match-grade barrel helps keep things compact for concealability while the compact grip frame accommodates a 10+1 capacity in two included magazines. It brings a little more recoil than its 9mm counterpart, but that’s to be expected in a small platform. Overall, it’s a decent .45 ACP option.
