Evike Exclusive Springfield Armory Licensed XDM Gas Blowback Airsoft Training Pistol (Model: 4.5 Duty / FDE)

"I really like that I can practice with airsoft at home using a handgun built like my actual firearm. The XDm fits my holsters and handles very much like the real thing. The sights are off and can’t be adjusted but they are close enough to practice. With that said, the materials are really cheap and not very durable. I have fired maybe 300-400 rounds and in that time the takedown lever fell out and the gun quit firing. I only fired it in my garage. It hasn’t been dropped or abused. It is made of cheap plastic and cast metal. The warranty is only for 90 days and has lots of exclusions. I’m pretty disappointed because the gun is awesome but expensive for only a few hundred shots.

"Got this gun and man was it awesome....for the first bag of ammo. The trigger broke and it's dead in the water now. I've contacted Evike for an exchange because I use it for practice for steel challenge competition and it is nearly identical size and weight of my real XDm 3.8. It definitely helped hone in my skillset for competition shooting. Upon further inspection, what broke was the slide catch bar. Appears to be made of pot metal so if you order the gun you may as well order the maple leaf STEEL slide catch bar to go along with it. I would just order that part and install it but appears to be out of stock...everywhere online. I wonder why? Guessing it's a manufacturer defect and that's why the replacement part is sold out everywhere in the USA including evike. That has been the only issue I have had with this gun. Other than that it's excellent but after only one month and 5000 bbs it should really be better quality from the factory for the price of it.

"Ok this gun it pretty good i have the real one and the airsoft is very much like it from the firing pin to the frame of it the only thing is that the green gas is used up to quickly unlike my sig and my glock this one used ip the whole gas in the mag with in like 9-10 shots ao if your thinking about buying this i would personally not due the gas but it could have just been my gun. If you looking for something good go for a Glock 19 or Sig P229 both are amazing

"I have had nothing but problems with the 3.5 compact model and recommend getting a Glock 19 airsoft instead. It is very inconsistent with shooting BBs at proper velocity and frequently malfunctions. I keep it well lubed and cleaned, but it does not seem to make a difference. The latest issue is a failing trigger assembly where it will no longer reset. I just threw the XDM away and am getting the Glock because I can see they are much more reliable when I observe my classmates. Save yourselves the hassle. Evike has good G19s at a fair price , check them out.
