This optic mounts directly to the slide of the pistol without the need of an adapter plate. The last piece to the puzzle that is anything, but standard is the Hex Dragonfly red dot. Some more standard accoutrements are your Owner’s Manual, Safety Cable Lock, a soft side case, and the original box. As with all XD-M pistols, you can change the backstraps for a better fitment to your hand so you get a set of 3 total (including the one installed on the pistol).
