Springfield XDM sights & optics

Here you find the accessories and upgrades we have for sighting on the Springfield XDM: optic plates and red dot mounts that put a red dot on your Springfield XDM and iron sights. Everything on this page is made for the Springfield XDM, so you only need to pick the right group for your pistol.

Putting a red dot on your Springfield XDM

• Optic plate: for a slide with a factory optic cut closed with a cover plate. The plate goes into the cut and takes the red dot. We have plates for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints. See Optics ready plates for Springfield XDM OSP.
• Red dot mount: carries the red dot on a Springfield XDM without an optic cut. We have mounts for the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, made by EGW, Outer Impact, Shield Sights, Toni System and Zendl. See Red dot mounts for Springfield XDM.

A plate fits only a slide with the optic cut, and a mount is for a Springfield XDM without it.

Choosing a plate or mount by footprint

Every plate and mount takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount that names it.

Sights for the Springfield XDM

Our iron sights for the Springfield XDM come from Angry Bear, LPA, Night Fision and Zendl. Sight pictures: blank, fiber optic, fiber optic [SALE], tritium, white dots and white lines. If you use a red dot, choose tall co-witness sights so you see them through the window. See Sights for Springfield XDM [classic] and Sights for Springfield XDM [OSP].

Frequently asked questions

Which red dot fits a Springfield XDM?

Red dots with the Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Holosun K-series, Leupold DPP, Docter and C-More RTS footprints, on the plate or mount for your pistol.

Can I install a plate at home?

Yes. A plate needs no gunsmith and no milling: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and the red dot onto it. Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Can I change the sights on my Springfield XDM at home?

Yes, with a sight pusher or a punch. Drift the old sight out of the dovetail and push the new one in. If you do not have the tool, a gunsmith can do it for you.
