![]() ![]() This causes sticky magazines that don’t drop free. Over time, something in the firing process causes the portion of the magazine spine directly behind the top round to bow outwards towards the grip safety. That’s pretty amazing for a pistol in its price range. With match ammo, 25 yards groups with my XD45 hover right around 2 inches. Instead, Springfield should focus more on how outstandingly accurate the XD series is. Where the sights are is where you shoot (see my post about how Grip Angle Doesn’t Matter, for more details). The only problem with that is… it’s not exactly true. Springfield Armory took the handgun world by storm in the 2000’s with their aggressive marketing campaign claiming “point-and-shoot” ergonomics. Stop marketing it as an ergonomic miracle. What is it with companies putting lack-luster sights on their pistols, anyway? (here’s looking at you, GLOCK.) 3. This is an easy fix with the plethora of aftermarket sight options available, but the factory sights should at least retain the dots for a reasonable period of time. The white dots fell out of mine years ago. ![]() Springfield just needs to do away with the pin entirely, like they did on the single stack XD-S series. That’s inconvenient during an IDPA match, but could be a very, very bad thing under different circumstances. When it unexpectedly shatters, it locks up the striker and renders the pistol inoperable.
