New Springfield XD(m)

SPRINGFIELD

Looks a lot better than the previous one.
They claim the trigger reset is the shortest of all Polymer framed pistols.

Now, if it's proven to be as reliable as a Glock / HK we might have a fight on our hands

I will be curious to see some of the reviews on this, and to shoot it myself. In theory it looks like it could be a winner. It appears they have taken a lot of the good concepts from several different manufacturers and blended them. We'll see.

The biggest selling point for me is the two tone.

I'm not a big fan of "The new Koolaid" most times. But I have shot several XD Rental guns, and have always liked them. The new one XD(m) looks a lot better than the old one.

As for two tone... Stainless has always been a little Flashy for me

wooo hoooo. Glad I put off that XD purchase. It does seem to be better than the original. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

 

[skigun75]

anyone know when it will be available in the other calibers?

I like the look. I wouldn't mind seeing a replacement for my XD9SC...

Springfield has said there are no further product announcements for the future. Looks like 40 is it. I'd almost be willing to be this release is geared more to the "gun games" since they bumped up the capacity on the 40 version (I'm betting it's a true double stack now), 4.5" Match barrel, all the other goodies. Almost like Springfield wants a taste of the USPSA Limited market.

I like the concept of the interchangeable palm swell stuff, but I've never tried any of them personally... for those who have... how well do the interchangeable palm swells deal with trigger reach?

I like my XD 9 tactical, I need more practice with it than I've been getting recently though.

Having average sized hands, the Medium grips on the P30 are perfect for me.
being able to adjust and put the small straps on the back, and sides should make the pistol fit Pami's smaller hand even better than it does already.

I know for sure my friend Jon with his Alien Long fingers (he can reach the mag release on the full sized USP with his shooting hand thumb......!!!) would like the large grip panels a lot.


If you want to try out the P30, I'll bring the grip panels a punch, and something to tap out the pin sometime. just ask.

You guys are both going to be at the training day right? Might be a good time to test that out.

That would be cool.

That new XD looks very interesting. I've got the XD45 and it has been a good gun. I don't love it for some reason, but I do seem to shoot it accurately (for me that is).
