Never be MA compliant, but who cares. (Springrield absolutely refuses to even submit the guns for testing.) They will come into the state, whether Martha & co like it or not, however.
Only thing lame about the gun is the grip safety. Kinda reminds me a little bit of the Walther PPS, except it has a mag release that is much better.

That's odd. I was just trying to see last night if they made the XDs in 9mm. Good news!
I'd love to get and xdm. I emailed SA urging them to go through the testing process. I know that they wont but hey maybe if people are asking they will rethink it. It would be worth it to them.
I agree. That't not on the ACP, correct? My issue(s), and the list is long, is that I LOVE MY 229, but its a little heavy (duh). I refuse to give it up, but am looking for something a little lighter (maybe slightly smaller) - whether it be a M&P Shield, Glock 26, XDS, et al. Just need to navigate getting it behind the (MA) iron curtain.
Maybe we should find out roughly how many they need to sell to make submission worth it....and then get a group buy going. I would love an XDs or XDm. I'll try and give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.
Every XD has a grip safety on it. it's just part and parcel of the platform. It's not so much the grip safety that bugs me its that you can't rack the slide when it's depressed, unless they've changed that... .

I own three XDm's and I rack the slide all the time while gripping the safety.
I thought the XDS in 45ACP was impressive; in 9mm, it's just passé. Lots of nice little 9mm guns out there.
Happy with my XDS 45, though - just can't wait until someone comes up with a better trigger job for it.
Whats the out-of-the-box trigger pull on the 45? I gather you had a trigger job? Who did it and what did they take it down to?
You guys just made me try my XDM and XDS. Was this some kind of trick?

On the XDm atleast, you can't rack the slide if you DON'T depress the safety, not the other way around. I'm guessing Mike had a brain fart.
I want one or two. Two tone would be nice. Anyone know if SA is still having issues with its melonite coating on the black slides? They used to wear off and allow rust pretty quick.
Their finish is marginal, but then again so isn't everyone else's except for Glock and HK. If I knocked every manufacturer on slide finish most would fail by those two standards.... the others aren't even close. Unless you have a defective product metallurgically, it shouldn't be tough to take care of an XD's finish. (Well, unless you have acid-hands like GSG does.... but he's an anomaly. )
