Overview

This Essentials Package removes unnecessary accessories to deliver a high-value firearm centered on the core shooting experience.

Who It’s For

This Springfield XDM .45ACP 4.5 Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Essentials Package with Threaded Barrel is suited for California shooters who require a full-size .45 ACP platform for defensive, competitive, or recreational use. The threaded barrel makes it an appropriate choice for shooters who intend to use a suppressor (where legal under state and local law) or who prefer the option to attach a compensator for reduced muzzle rise. The Essentials Package configuration appeals to buyers who already own holsters and accessories or who prefer to select their own aftermarket components. This model is also appropriate for those who value the proven reliability of the XDM design and the terminal ballistics of the .45 ACP cartridge in a package that does not require immediate modification. It is not a subcompact or concealed-carry pistol; it is a full-frame, range-ready service pistol with an emphasis on accuracy and adaptability.

• Shooters seeking a factory-threaded barrel in a full-size .45 ACP platform without buying a separate barrel.
• California customers requiring a compliant firearm that can accept a variety of muzzle devices for range or defensive use.
• Users who prefer the Essentials Package concept: a pistol plus basic carry gear, without unnecessary extras.
