Spoiler alert: this gun can do it.
I moved to the XD-M with a threaded barrel and suppressor sights.
I loved it and was considering making it my main carry sidearm.
This brings me to theXD-M Elite 5.25 Competition.
It is a little bit longer and bigger than some of the other XD-M pistols but is still manageable.
Now that would be of interest to me.
Only one way to find out!
I got the pistol prepped and began hitting at 100 yards and then out to 200.
Shooting at 100 yards was not much different, and I was still able to hit the steel consistently.
It does take longer between shots using the iron sights at that distance versus having a red dot.
Now I have to admit, at 200 yards it was very difficult.
Conclusion
Needless to say, its challenging to shoot at 200 yards with iron sights.
However, with an accurate pistol like the XD-M Elite 5.25 9mm pistol, it is achievable.
