XDS

[Guest rmse9]

Has anyone that shipped their XDS back to factory received the repaired pistol yet? Mine has been in their hands for 5 weeks and I am still waiting.

A couple of mondays ago the guy at Nashville Armory said a customer came in earlier and said he had his back already. I guess he could have been lying?

EDIT: This was an outright lie either by the customer that told the employee or the employee, himself. Sorry for posting bad info. Edited October 5, 2013 by BigK

I shot mine plenty before it got shipped off and loved it. So, I'm missing mine something fierce. I almost wish I was like you and hadn't shot it. At least then I wouldn't be pining for it back so badly.

I just finished reading the endless thread on XDTalk.com about the recall. Multiple people confirm exactly what you are saying:

1) They are still trying to figure out how to fix them.
2) One a fix is identified, they intend to do extensive testing for our safety.
3) If the fix passes testing, they have to order parts from Croatia to performs the repairs.
4) Once the parts arrive in IL, they will begin repairing and mailing back our guns.

I'd be surprised to have my gun back by Thanksgiving or Christmas. Another interesting thing I found out while I was there. The serial number ranges on the guns that were recalled covers somewhere between 225K and 250K guns, which is EVERY XD-S they made. Funny, posting affected serial numbers gave most the impression that all of them weren't affected, which is kind of devious, if you ask me.

This totally sucks. I put many rounds through mine before the recall and it always worked flawlessly and was a good shooter. This is probably my first and last Springfield. I know they make other excellent firearms, but this gives me a totally bitter taste about doing any more business with them.

So we box em up send em to SA and wait till the Croatian wizards come up with a plan.
Will be my last Springfield too...was fun while it lasted, even when learning to hold it with authority.... I really do love my 45 but I want it on my side not on a shelf.....bastards....

I've been reading the average wait time is 10 - 12 weeks.  Missing my XDs.  Never had a problem with the 9 or the 45.

[chrisw670]

Havent' heard much of anything new concerning the issue.  Mine arrived at SA on Sept 16 and now I'm just playing the waiting game like everyone else.  Taking into account the total number of pistols affected by the recall, I figured it would take longer than the original specified turn around time, so I'm not really surprised at the delay.  I really like that little .45 and can't wait to get it back in my possesion but I've got other firearms to carry while that one's away.  Personally, I find the constant complaining and whinning about the situation more annoying than the situation itself.  Can't stand being on XDtalk lately for that reason.

Today they say they will start returning pistols on Oct. 21st. , first in first out.

The reason it's taking so long is because after Springfield received your pistols, they sent them to a secret facility hidden deep in the bowels of NYC. Once there all XDS pistols will be retrofitted to become single shot only. In addition to the grip safety and loaded chamber indicator, all guns will be outfitted with fingerprint scanners, DNA analyzers, and an emergency whistle. With all the new upgrades I think 10-12 wk turn around time is more than fair.

Extended magazine with extension and sleeve to come with each unit. I'll take it. That will make two.

[Guest rmse9]

Just received notice my 45 XDS will be back in my hands Wednesday after 7 1/2 weeks without it.

Here is a link to the Guns America Blog where the writer goes into detail about his experience with the recall. He likes what they did to his gun and says it shoots better now than before he sent it back.

I kinda think it would be cool for your pistola to "double" ever now and then... I've got an old winchester model 50 semiauto twelve ga that will do it once in a while... It's worn down from shootin about a million AA trap loads thru it.... Looks ta me like the XD guys are makin Glock and Smith and Wesson folks out of XD affectionados pretty quickly....  I dont blame ya either...

 

Heree's hopin your pistolas will come home soon....
