Springfield Armory Licensed XDM Gas Blowback Airsoft Training Pistol (Model: 3.8 Compact / Black)

"Model: 4.5 Duty / FDE / Reload Package

I got this gun for my dad as a training weapon for his XDM firearm. He says its very snappy and surprisingly accurate. It also fits his firearm holster and the magazines fit in his mag pouch. It doesn't do great in 60-degree or less weather. But to my understanding, neither does any other gas replica. Overall, its a great gun. 10/10 recommend

"Got the all black compact. It came in a convenient, not-styrofoam box, with adapters for the longer (not-compact) mags, and backstraps for the grip.
It's pretty realistic:
* It's got some heft.
* Working firing pin indicator.
* Trigger pull is great. There's a smooth, not unrealistic/too light pull, and a crisp break. And the trigger reset is also crisp.
* Accurate so far, when tested at short range.
* Take down is easy, just like the real XD.

Cons:
The slide needs cleaning and lube for it to be smoother.
Needs a threaded barrel option.

Pulling out the mag doesn't cause BBs to fall out.
Overall this is a realistic, under-rated airsoft pisol at a good price.

"I just bought a second one of these in the package with two extra mags because I’m so absolutely in love with this pistol (see my first review below).

I promise you will not be disappointed in this gun. I have fielded it multiple times now and gotten some impressive distance kills out of this when the mag is full of gas. Distance does start to drop at the end of the mag in cold weather, but that’s what the extras are for! Now I can run akimbo with matching sidearms!

Evike DOES have spare mags for this on the regular - I was mistaken about that in my first review (it’s the sai blu compact mags that are never in stock). But the rest of everything is true. This gun is fantastic and you will love it!

A+

"Got one of these in a Box of Awesomeness and it is FANTASTIC! 6 months and 2000+ bbs later its holding up great and I like it even more then the beginning.

Weight is very realistic and everything is super tight. Mag fits well and drops clean without issues. This gun is loud and kicks decently hard when fired, which adds to the realism.

Pic rail on bottom has plenty of clear space for lights & lasers, and this particular orange tip came off sooooooo easily you might be able to just pull it off with your fingers (i boiled my barrel but barely touched it with pliers). 11mm threads on the outer barrel so you’ll need an adapter for a tracer if you wanna run one.

Only downside is I cant find spare mags for these ANYWHERE! Nobody has them online. Evike - if you restock these you’ll be my hero and sell out in no time!!!

Overall rating: A
Buy it - you won’t be disappointed!

"I got this gun from a mystery box and this thing is great. Nothing broke on me yet after shooting about 20 mags. the only problem I had was the nozzle freezing but that was because of the temperature I was shooting it in. i love the way the gas comes out of the gun and shoots out of the chamber making it feel really real the bbs are really accurate once you tune the hop up and the gun has a really good kick overall why would you not buy this thing if you are looking for a good secondary.

"Well, I wanted to buy a .22 pistol to train since ammo is so expensive these days, but even those are hard to come by. So I went back to my teen-years and bought myself a GBB!

This thing is great, it mimics all the functions of the real XDM including the little charge-indicator on the back. Weight and size are comparable to my SD9VE, so I think this will be a good fit - though it is a tad smaller in length (negligable to me). Accuracy is adequate _10 yards, and it penetrates cardboard very easily. This is a compact pistol so the magazine is NOT full size - you get around 20 rounds or so, double stacked - and I prefer that for training purposes. It does come with grip-extensions for larger magazinse, as well as rear-straps in 3 different sizes. Also comes with a little magazine stopper thingy for dry-firing. Awesome.

Seems like a steal compared to some of the other GBB's out there, which seem to be expensive only because of pricey trademarks (*cough* Glock *cough*)

"Won this guy in a Box of awesome, lovely sidearm, the slide is pretty boxy in shape on top giving it a nice modern, slightly futuristic Glock shape, the 3 grip backings that come with it are great for changing the size of the grip, even had one for my tiny hands! The constructions seems very durable, I feel like I could drop kick it into the woods and it's probs still shoot straight, so as long as you don't drop it hard on a rock or concrete I don't think it would get too hurt from everyday airsofting.
The magazine is sturdy and durable, waiting for a new shipment of gas so I haven't fired it yet but will return with more to say soon!

"I purchased this for my dad to have a safe gun to play with while sitting infront of the tv. I had the gun a day to myself before I gave it to him and I have to say I love the feel. Its extremely solid, shoots straight and has great recoil. The pistol went on sale again today and I couldnt help myself, had to get one for myself. I highly recommend the 3.8 two tone.

"Just picked this up locally. Love it. Great feel, great recoil, great everything. There's a small amount of creep and a nice crisp break on the trigger. The trigger pull is identical to the real steel xd mod 2.

"Its a great gun with nice recoil. The internals not so good. I had to replace the hammer, trigger bar, and striker pin. Good thing evike carry replacement parts. The mags are great. Almost 2 years and mags still do not leak!

"Decent gun, functions well. Unfortunately adjusting the hop-up does nothing on my gun. Because of that there is a pretty hard drop.

"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.
