So this is new:

They also have one with a red dot. Wonder why they didn't go full-size with this? Could have had real-decent capacity. I wonder... they'll probably release a larger one once we buy-up their stock of these 3.8" versions.

The two full size ones have been out for a couple of years now. One is a four and a half inch barrel and the other is five and a quarter. I have the latter and am very happy with it. I have already reached out to my lgs to check availability.
Youth and exuberance are no match for age and treachery.

Ive been hoping for one of these for a while. Happy to see it is OSP.  I will get one for sure.

I was hoping for a full-size OPS Elite.... with the threaded barrel and additional grip zone (magwell).

Can't wait to own one of these. I have an unfired Glock 29 that should make a good trade.

I wonder if the 15 round mags will fit with a sleeve.
You can't fix stupid but you can numb it for a while with a 2X4

From the website:

REMOVABLE MAGWELL

The XD-M? Elite Compact comes with a short magwell for ultra-fast and intuitive magazine changes. In addition to the flush-fitting 11-round magazines that come with the pistol, you can also employ optional full-size 15-round magazines with a ?grip sleeve? by removing the magwell.

This is a great add IMHO.  A 357 Magnum snubby was the de-facto go to for personal defense for 50 years.  Small 10mm Auto pistols like this and the Glock 29 should be the auto-loading equivalent.

Edit to add:  Optics ready makes this a potential Glock 29 killer.

I like the cut of your jib. This had not occurred to me.  :)

For sure! I would carry this, especially if I could throw a 15-round mag in my pocket.

As I posted above, Springfield goes to some length to say it does indeed work with the 15 round mags.

Also, here is a vidoe, with some chocolate:

Looks pretty snappy. Don?t think I would like Buffalo bore full house in it too much. 😬

Dag nabit. Missed the gunbroker ones. Had to wait till after work to order.

Edit, some more showed up, snagged one without the optic. Don't really think I want to carry an optic. Especially one that sticks off the sides like the hex dragonfly.

What is it my teenaged students used to say?  YEET? Hated the phrase... but I'm pretty excited about this XDM!
