Springfield XD(M) Pistols

[thedeparted]

I have been drooling over the new XD(M) line from Springfield Armory. First the 40 S&W and now the 9mm. Hopefully an XD(M) .45 will be next which is what I would get. I'm probably just a sucker for good marketing but I like the idea of the short-reset trigger, match-grade barrel, etc. Anybody else have one of these on their Christmas list? Anybody shoot an XD(M) yet?

I don't know much about the XD-M, but these guys do. I ended up going with the Glock over the XD. I'm now thinking about getting a Sig.

I have an XD-45 with 5" pipe. Love it, but I also like my Glock-20 and 32.

Haven't checked out the M but I've wanted an XD for awhile now.

An XD was on the Christmas list, but I think I'm going to get a SumoSac instead

This review might also help you.

I love the XDs... they fit great in my hand and don't have the suspiciously high accidental discharge rates that glocks do.

Thanks for the feedback and links. Sounds like the trigger is not so great. My other gun is an S&W686 with a long hard double action trigger. So I really wanted my second gun to be the opposite: short light crisp single-action trigger. Any suggestions on a good .40 or .45 with a great trigger out of the box?

Oh come on. I like my XD too, but "suspiciously high accidental discharge rates" is just a load of horse pucky. Glocks are super popular and a lot of people with questionable skill levels choose them because they are a famous name. They are completely safe in the hands of a non-retard.

I guess it just comes down to the fact I can't stand Glock triggers. If it can't have one in the tube and be on safe (thumb safety, mind you) then I don't like it.

It's the same as a DA revolver. If you don't pull the trigger it won't go bang, 100%.
