Springfield Armory XD-M Elite Compact OSP
Best high capacity compact for backcountry hikers and personal defense.

While it lacks the slim profile of ultra-compact micro-nines, you gain a significantly more shootable platform with a superior trigger and optics-ready versatility that makes hitting your target feel almost effortless.
