We have seen modular systems, optics systems and various other efforts to provide the next best thing.

Now with theXD-M Elite Tactical OSP, I am back in the XD game.

What We Want

In the gun world we can be greedy we definitely want it all.

For me, the new variants of the XD-M have given me what I was looking for.

Now there is no need to search in the aftermarket for sights, trigger upgrades, barrels or magwells.

Does It Shoot?

The new Elite Tactical OSP features a flared and extended mag well along with a voluminous 22-round magazine.

In short yes, and yes.

I found the Tactical OSP pistol to be very ergonomically correct with my natural wrist angle and shooting style.

The new META trigger feels very predictable and smooth with its new flat-faced design.

The XD-M Elite Tactical OSP pistol offers shooters just about every refinement they could want.

The grip texture and slide serrations are great for those manipulations without being too flashy.

The 22-round magazines and included magwell extension are a real treat for tactical exchanges and emergency reloads.

Conclusion

The decision is always yours, but is not always easy.
