For California shooters seeking a production-ready competition pistol that meets state roster requirements, this Springfield Armory offering combines precision machining with practical reliability.

Overview

The Springfield XDM Elite Precision 5.25 9mm full-size black pistol with fiber optic front sight is a purpose-built handgun designed for the USPSA, IDPA, and steel challenge circuits. The 5.25-inch barrel length increases sight radius and muzzle velocity, contributing to tighter shot groups at extended distances. The slide features front and rear cocking serrations with a target-style cut to reduce mass and cycle faster. The fiber optic front sight uses a 0.125-inch diameter rod for high visibility, complemented by a fully adjustable rear sight with positive click adjustments for windage and elevation. The XDM Elite Precision 5.25 ships with two 22-round extended magazines, though California-compliant 10-round magazines are available for purchase separately to meet local capacity restrictions.
