Springfield announces XD-M

[Guest eyebedam]

The xd gear aka holster for the new M series will be a factory paddle style holster.

From what I've seen, they'll be $50-$100 more than the regular XD models...

I think it looks great. I wish that it came with the thumb safety that the .45's have. In fact, I wish they offered all models with the thumb safety.

Someone on another board just picked up the new XD-M. Still not sure how in the hell he got it so fast, but here's what they look like in the box.

I like the fact that everything is on the bottom of the case, rather than the gear being on the top, like the current XD's.

I have been trying to figure out the deal with the back straps.Both sets look the same

There's one on GB, but with the starting price of $760, I'll wait until a local dealer has one for a much better price, even if the one on GB is one of the first 5000 made.

I didn't realize they had 3-Dot fiber optic and tritium night sights. I thought there were gonna be stock 3 dot sights. Must have missed that somewhere.
