iron sights, limited capacity, larger calibers).
Basically, I gravitate to the guns that many people (including myself) struggle with the most.
Call me a glutton for punishment.
The full-sized frame means easy-to-control shooting, with a generous 19-round magazine capacity so you never run short.
The red dot optic on the slide means intuitive aiming that even novices will understand.
The extra-tall sights also allow you to see over the top of a suppressor as well.

Enough of the specs, so whats it like to shoot?
Unsurprisingly, the gun functioned flawlessly right out of the box, and the dot was on point.
When you are bringing the gun up to shoot, they help you initially align everything, just right.
Well, that wasnt a problem with the OSP.
I grabbed the gun and started lining things up like Ive done hundreds of times before.
As soon as that red shiny dot came into view, I picked up on it.
No thinking or mental transitioning required, just natural movement.
But wait, theres more!
The OSP comes standard with both a threaded barrel and a non-threaded barrel.
This allowed me to easily swap the barrel and screw on a pistol caliber suppressor to try it out.
Again, Im not qualified to go into why they are awesome for tactical or home defense situations.
Suppressors also help keep your ears from developing that nice ringing sound that never seems to go away.
Again, I wasnt surprised that the OSP chewed through all the rounds I threw at it without issue.
Shooting the Springfield Armory XD-M OSP checks that box so hard it would snap the pencil in half.
Plus, it makes me feel like an action hero.
