Springfield XD(m)

[Conker]

Conker- what do you mean by mag disconnect? sorry i just dont know that much about pistols and im trying to shop around right now.

Exactly what code33 stated. Basically, even if you have one in the chamber and the magazine isn't fully seated, or somehow gets dropped, you can't fire. Which would be bad if you were fighting with someone for your life and the mag were to drop inadvertently.

[goathead]

i would love to get one

Pistol has to have a feature when the magazine is not fully seated, the gun will not fire.

Beretta 92FS's are on the list and they dont have a mag disconnect?
Why is this?

Because it was on the list before the requirement was put into law. Go check the DOJ roster website, they'll cite the law and when it was put into law. Guns on the roster before the laws passed were not required to implement the new "safety" features. Guns that wanted to get on the list after the new laws were in place had to have the safety features.

You could get two. One for you and one for me.

Awesome! Didn't think of that.

Looking to get into the academy this November. Woohoo!

[Waingro]

It looks like the XD and 57 had a bastard child. But for some reason I like it better then the normal XD - looks wise.

Buy an M&P. Made in America, available in 4 calibers, better ergonomics, lifetime waranty, CA legal, and only $500-$550. Looks a hell of alot better too!

[slick_711]

Well then! Certainly sounds like a negative statement. Almost implies we're different from other fellow Americans. Quite the friendly customer service they have their at Springfield.

??? Doesn't sound negative, just sounds like poor grammar.

Will we be seeing any new Springfields in CA? Not likely. But they have bent over backward for us thus far, and continue to be polite and do their best to get us the ones that are legal. Let's not slit their throats too quickly just because they didn't want to re-design the XD-M completely.

I haven't tried an M&P but I have owned XDs before so I'm at least familiar with the trigger. Have you compared the ergonomics between the M&P and the XDm?

Thing I don't like about the M&P is the mag disconnect and I actually prefer the looks on the XD and the XDm. Now that the XDm has changeable backstraps, the M&P doesn't have that advantage anymore. But of course no XDm in CA.

I tried an M&P before I bought my XD. Felt like crap in my hand and fugly compared to the XD.

I did! Great gun! Got the M&P 9compact for CC. (when im in Reno and Tahoe!)

Actually- got it for the wifey for her CC. (In Reno and Tahoe)

[ChibiPaw]

I got to play it a little at the Reno big show. I have to say, if you're used to the XD, this is very much the refined version. feels great to the grip, balances great. No idea how it shoots. but given the XD's track record, Im sure it's really good. Alas we must keep waiting.
