Springfield announces XD-M

[Marswolf]

Thanks for clearing that up, Tungsten.

[TGO David]

No worries. I figured you left your bifocals in the jungle or something.

[Guest cdsusong]

hey, sorry I misspoke on the $299 price. You are correct it was the Sigma at $299. Again sorry for the bad info. Is that a tatical light in the pic of the complete kit?

[Guest canynracer]

they should spend the time improving the "gear" as well...

The speed loader is ok, the maga...I mean clip holster is fine, the holster itself is almost worthless. The top of the gun flops outward. The best spot for it is beside me in the car, between the seat and the console. I will put it their on occasion, when I don't want to wear it. They should replace it with a paddle holster.

I see no light.I do see a duel mag holder,paddle holster,mag loader,brush and lock in a bag,and two mags.

I also dont see the back straps,but they do indeed come with a set.

The gear is cheap and useless,but its just a way to charge extra.If they did improve the gear to usable condition you could expect another 50 bucks tacked on to the price

Interesting, but ... meh. I'll keep my current XD45.

LOL...Still waiting on that.

[Guest eyebedam]

Did you happen to sign up on Springfields site for the daily updates? If so have you gotten any? I signed up but have yet to get the first email.

I've signed up with 3 email addresses, and not a single email.

Not sure if it means anything, but the pictured barrel says "Match".

[nightrunner]

so is this going to be available in .40S&W ONLY? how about .45acp or 9mm? or how about a 10mm:eek:?

waiting for updates

Not sure. I should have more info tomorrow morning, but won't be able to post until I get off work.

[nightrunner]

thanks for keeping us updated on this

Why do they make us wait on a price??

It's driving me insane.

I think it's safe to say that it will be between $450-$600.

You answered the question yourself!!

Durn!!! A 4 1/2 inch barrel means that Molon was right

What does Delivering a 2+2=5 impact mean I wonder?

Confirmed! The XD-M will come with a "Match" grade barrel.

[Marswolf]

And it will come in two versions. one that has a grip safety and one that doesn't?

Match must be what the "M" stands for...humm...

[TGO David]

I thought the (M) stood for Money.

[TripleDigitRide]

Has anyone been able to get any prices?
