    New Springfield XD-M!!! GlockTalk Exclusive

    I saw this on another site. New Springfield XD-M
    I don't care for the new look. I like the old look better.

    I like the look, and the grip looks like an improvement.

        I think they managed to make the XD uglier than it already was.

          Looks pretty aggressive. Seems to be more form over function.

            Looks like someone wants to be a P30. I like it. ugly but mean.
            I think it can be confirmed that an alien xenomorph is absolutely no match for good ole' Alabama black snake!

                I looked at the pictures last night. I agree it was pretty ugly. I have no idea why they would go through the trouble of redesigning the entire grip frame & slice just to add an interchangeable back strap. Also noted, that particular model did not include the thumb safety. They seem to be trying to directly compete with the SW M&P line for service pistol contracts.

                I actually dread the day SA significantly changes the XD frame as any new models won't be list-able unless they figure out how to add a mag-disco and somehow figure out how to make an LCI that would pass doj muster. I would hate to see them discontinue the current XD's in favor of a new and improved version.

                      I think the reason for the more aggressive grip profile is, many people are adding more aggressive grip aftermarket features to them, so it would make sense that they would try to improve on the design. Also, the interchangeable back strap will allow more shooters to adjust the comfort level for their size hand.

                        Mecam - Thanks.

                        I'm decidely indifferent on this new model. I'd own it, but not seek it out.

                          It looks like the buzzed orgy love child of a HK USP, S&W m&p, and XD.

                            it's funny how they raved about their grip and now it's starting to look like a Glock grip lol

                              It really doesn't look anything like a Glock grip.
