Sprinfield Armory Issues Recall on XD Pistols

I hear they're coming back with a pin in the grip safety. It would be interesting to see what Springfield has done with them.

Pretty sure the pin is just a way to tell which ones have been modified or not. Has nothing to do with the actual fix.

Yeah, and the pinky sleeve. In all I guess I'm not as cheesed as I was a couple of weeks ago when we had no end in sight. It really didn't that THAT much longer than they had originally estimated so I'm sure this wound shall heal in time too. Free shit helps. ;-)

That sounds better than the $100 rebate on next springfield product of at least $500 that I am getting.

Sent mine back Aug 30. It was brand new and unfired. Hope they did not ding it up etc. All ready have 7 mags and would have appreciated a 100 off card on a new product. Have my eye on a new Springfield 1911. Either way I have bought and owned guns for 20 years now seems I have been returning alot more of my new purchases for recalls and broken things. Have 5 different Sig pistols go back this year for example. Seems like my collection always has a firearm back at the manufacture these days.It almost like we are now the testers.

He has a coupon he doesn't need & wants a magazine. You have a preponderance of magazines w/another one on the way & a need for a Springfield firearm that could utilize a discount. Seems you two have something to discuss privately. -Cupid :-)
