XD(m) Pistols feature interchangeable backstraps so shooters can modify the grips to fit them. Naturally, the standard model XD(m) 3.8 Pistol was a little harder to carry concealed due to the slightly longer dimensions of the full-size grip. Even under just a T-Shirt, it did not print. I carried it in an Uncle Mike's Inside-the-Pant Holster with a black plastic clip. The XD(m) 3.8 Compact is a very easy pistol to carry concealed. Even though both models tested were comfortable to shoot, I preferred the 9mm XD(m) 3.8 Compact over the 9mm XD(m) 3.8 with the full-size grip. I suspect one reason why the 9mm XD(m) Compact 3.8 is a soft shooting pistol is because this handgun has a fairly hefty slide assembly and very good overall ergonomics. This was true whether I used 147- and 124-grain FMJ ammunition or law enforcement hollow-point service ammunition. When I test fired the XD(m) 3.8 Compact for the first time, I immediately noticed that this pistol is soft shooting. If you have any questions about this issue, contact a technician at Springfield Armory. Note: Springfield Armory recommends that you use the high-capacity magazine with the plastic extension collar when you wish to carry the XD(m) 3.8 Compact Pistol with more ammunition and a larger grip to prevent possible damage to the ejector. I am able to do this because I am now retired and I am no longer carrying a service pistol and a backup gun like I once did on a regular basis during my law enforcement career. I personally prefer to use standard capacity magazines in my compact and sub-compact pistols and will only rarely use a higher-capacity magazine as a spare magazine. From an aesthetic perspective some end-users believe that it looks better when a high-capacity magazine has a plastic extension collar that fits flush with the shorter grip on a compact or sub-compact pistol.
