![]() ![]() There is an ambidextrous mag release and ambi safety, too. And the rear sight has two white dots on either side of the sight opening, plus you get spare fiber optic rods-one green and one red. The front sight has a red fiber optic rod in it. It’s tough stuff to help protect the slide from the elements. The gun has a black polymer frame with a forged steel slide, coated in black Melonite. One of the new features claimed is a L.E.S.-Low Energy Slide- that is supposed to require 27% less effort to rack the slide to chamber a round. ![]() So, what do we have “new” in the XDe model that just recently came out? Great question! We have a compact, some call it a subcompact, 9mm handgun with a 3.3-inch barrel. We also have the XD Mod.2 now, which is a very, very nice gun! With the XDs line, the trigger pull was short and a bit stiff, and all guns have the trigger bar safety in the face of the trigger. The “m” model has a better feel to it in the grip area than the original XD, and the trigger reset was shorter, too. The “m” model was also chambered in those calibers, and all were striker-fired, too, because that’s been the trend for quite a few years now. Then we hand the XDs, which was a subcompact gun available in 9mm. The “m” supposedly stood for “More”, I guess. Springfield Armory has a complete line-up in the XD line, starting with the original XD, which was a full-sized handgun. I’ve even had primers installed backwards and sideways in this ammo, so I steer completely clear of it, period! The Springfield Armory XD Line-up ![]() 45 ACP also had problems with this Remington ammo. I had numerous rounds that would not even chamber in that XD. My first, but not my last, XD functioned with everything except Remington UMC bulk. And none of the parts will interchange with a Glock either. But it was much more overbuilt than a Glock. It was used, and it looked “oh-so-GLOCKish” with a green polymer frame. I’ve been a huge fan of their XD line since the first one came out well over a dozen years ago. The newest handgun in the XD line-up of Springfield Armory line-up is the compact XDe 9mm. ![]()
