Springfield XDM Elite 3.8 Compact OSP 10mm Pistol with HEX Dragonfly Red Dot

When you pick up the Springfield XDM Elite 3.8 Compact OSP 10mm Pistol with HEX Dragonfly Red Dot, the first thing you notice is the balance. This is not a full-size duty pistol, nor is it a pocket carry piece. It lands right in the sweet spot for those who want a powerful 10mm round in a package that conceals reasonably well without sacrificing shootability. We have spent time behind this setup on the range, and the combination of the Elite trigger system and the factory-installed HEX Dragonfly red dot makes for a remarkably fast and accurate platform right out of the box.

Overview

The Springfield XDM Elite 3.8 Compact OSP 10mm Pistol with HEX Dragonfly Red Dot represents a practical evolution of the 10mm cartridge for everyday carry and field use. Springfield Armory engineered this model with a 3.8-inch barrel and a compact slide, yet it still holds 11+1 rounds of potent 10mm ammunition. The “OSP” designation means it arrives optics-ready, but in this particular package, Springfield has already mounted their HEX Dragonfly red dot, so you skip the hassle of choosing and mounting a separate optic. This is a versatile handgun that bridges the gap between a concealed carry pistol and a hunting sidearm, delivering serious energy without the bulk of a full-length 5-inch barrel.

Features & Specs

The XDM Elite platform benefits from years of refinement. The trigger is a standout feature: a flat-faced design with a crisp break and a short, tactile reset. It makes rapid follow-up shots feel natural, especially when paired with the HEX Dragonfly’s 3 MOA red dot. The frame features a high-hand beavertail and an adjustable backstrap system, allowing you to dial in the fit for your grip size. The barrel is hammer-forged, which typically offers better longevity and accuracy than broached barrels. Below are the key specifications and included features you should know about.

• Caliber: 10mm Auto, with a 11+1 round capacity using the included flush-fit magazine; a second 15-round extended magazine is also included for range or reload use.
• Barrel: 3.8-inch hammer-forged steel barrel with a Melonite finish, providing corrosion resistance and a service life that outlasts most shooters.
• Sights: Factory-installed HEX Dragonfly red dot optic with automatic brightness adjustment and a 3 MOA dot; the rear sight dovetail is retained for cowitness or backup use.
• Frame: Polymer frame with a Picatinny accessory rail for lights or lasers, plus Springfield’s Mega Block texture for a secure grip in wet or cold conditions.
• Safety: Trigger safety, grip safety, and a loaded chamber indicator; no manual thumb safety, keeping the draw stroke simple.

• Trigger: Springfield’s Elite Match Grade trigger with a flat face, approximately 5-pound pull weight, and a short, positive reset.
• Slide: Forged and machined steel slide with a Melonite finish, front and rear cocking serrations, and a loaded chamber indicator.
• Optic: The HEX Dragonfly is a compact, lightweight red dot (0.6 oz) with a 3 MOA dot and a 2-minute windage/elevation adjustment per click; it uses a standard CR2032 battery.
• Magazines: Comes with two magazines: an 11-round flush fit and a 15-round extended magazine with a grip sleeve for larger hands.

Who It’s For

This pistol is built for the shooter who wants more than 9mm but does not want to carry a full-size 1911 or a heavy revolver in 10mm. It is a strong candidate for backcountry carry, as the 10mm round offers solid penetration against large animals while still being manageable for defensive use. It also appeals to experienced shooters who appreciate the flat shooting characteristics of 10mm and want a compact package for the range or competition. If you are looking for a handgun that can serve as a do-it-all sidearm for hunting, hiking, and home defense, and you value the speed of a red dot sight, this setup deserves a close look.
