After agonizing over which of the many entry-level competition handguns to buy, I finally chose the newly introduced Springfield XDm Elite Precision 5.25. The contenders were the M&P PC M2.0 5", the CZ P10F, , the Walther Q5 Match, the Canik TP9SFx or the Bersa thunder Pro XT, but in the end I chose the XDm Elite 5.25.
I have had experience with all of the pistols above, except for the Bersa and the CZ, so I was pretty sure what to expect from most of the contenders. The final decision was just made in my gut, as I believed that the Croation pistol must have something up its sleeve to try to win back some of their lagging sales in the competitive circles. I think my gut feel was right on, since this Elite XDm is already performing better than the two previous generation XDms that I owned before. I just might keep this one!

Off hand 10 shots from 10 yards:
