Springfield Armory XDM 4.5" .177 cal. CO2 Blowback, Bi-tone

Gorgeous shiny finish, shoots in groups under 1.15 inches at 5 yards. About 80 shots per co2 in a sunny day, about 340 FPS. Very good blowback, comes with a couple of differently sized back straps to make the grip size as comfortable for you as possible. Looks incredible, handles just as good. With the polymer holster, it's an absolutely perfect set up.

I'd give it adjustable sights. Mine shoots consistently down and to the left, which you can learn to compensate with some practice, but it's not ideal. Not a deal breaker, either.

My magazine had a black plastic piece inside the follower spring, which prevented the use of the feeding ramp. Once removed, it worked perfectly, and the magazine can easily fit 30 BBs. If you have the crosman's speedloader that comes with the AK-1 or the R1, it works perfect to push the follower down and feed BBs in.

Good finish and feels and acts like a real gun.

CO2 canister leaks out overnight so you have to use it up at once! This is not ok! Accuracy low. I was hoping to have it for practising marksman shooting but it really does not work for that.

this gun has a good finish, great feeling when handling, heavy magazine and very nice, good gun to have in your collection

I would try to improve the gas consumption, here in the state of mass in the summer I can only get 40 shots with a cylinder of gas

the gas consumption of this gun is exaggerated, but you will have the best blowback feeling in your hands, the magazine sometimes does not fit the gun correctly when loaded with bbs. probably an error in the construction of the magazine compartment.

Looks fantastic. Feels good in the hand when you find the back strap that you like. Blowback. The bi-tone slide looks better in person. Ease of field stripping. Very well greased inside from the factory. Weight. Gets 3 full mags before CO2 runs out. Manual is the best I've seen.

Taller front sight, shoots very, very low(about 3inches below center of bullseye). Rework the CO2 cap, you can't get a good bite with the Allen key when piercing.

Your going to need a laser or install a taller front sight, it shoots very low. I installed a laser and it works fine now. Screw in the CO2 cap piercing slowly and be mindful you don't have much bite for the Allen key. I was told by Air Venturi one of the reasons this was out of stock for so long, it was getting reworked, larger mag follower, upgrading some materials etc. Perhaps true, but mine failed to load BB's into the breech a couple of times. And the magazine release button is very, very hard to push if the slide is forward, if the slide is racked back the mag drops out no problem. Put a drop of glue on the front fiber optic, mine shot out from the blowback. This is a great replica, just needs a laser or taller front sight, shoots way too low.

Everything, this is a very good item.

Nothing.

Great buy for the money.

An officially licensed version! Model and grips are just about 1:1 to the real deal. Perfect opportunity to plink in the backyard vs. driving down to the range.

The CO2 cartridge is screwed into the mag with an L-wrench vs. other BB models which screw into the gun (which conversely results in a L-shaped mag). This allows the gun and mag to be almost 1:1 with the real deal, but (from my experience, also with other BB/airsoft guns) this structure expends gas very quickly. With this gun: After 3-4 mags it feels clearly weaker and the shot starts to drop vs. a Walmart Umarex 40XP (which has the CO2-in-gun structure w/ L mag, 20rd capacity): I can run it for 6-7 mags before it starts dropping. The CO2-in-mag system also requires MUCH more time to switch out CO2 vs the latter. Considering the aforementioned and that this is $129 vs the 40XP $50ish(?) it kinda bites. BUT! You're not getting the licensed 1:1 model from any other BB gun and it just came out! So there's that.

The metal used for the BB model vs. "real" models is slightly lighter.
So if you're intending on using this for practicing your drive & faster sight alignment for the real deal, it may/may not be detrimental to your muscle memory.
Trigger pull is also INCREDIBLY light vs. stock firearm models.

Incredible replica. I own several Springfield XD's and when you place this next to my others, you can't tell unless you look at the front of the barrel. the size and weight are like the real thing.

Nothing
