Friday I got back my "upgraded" XDs from the Springfield Armory recall. It had been gone nearly 2 months, but I think mine was in the "thick" of the returns, so the turnaround was understandable.

I have read some postiive and some negative reports on the guns coming back so I was a little worried, as this is my only "carry" sized semi-auto pistol.

 

SA returned the gun clean and oiled, with a gift 7 rd mag and in a little plastic case that will hold my Chief's Special nicely, so I'm happy with that. I took it out and put 100 rounds of my home-baked ball 45 through it without any incident. The thing is still as much fun to shoot as I thought it was, although I had been thinking maybe I was starting to imagine it. No...it really is that much fun.

 

The trigger has been an issue for some, but on mine the pull feels about the same, but I'm thinking the takeup is more clear...better defined. AND the trigger break is definitely better...a very clean break like on a nice 1911. No grit or slop, and I'm thinking after a few hundred more rounds it should be even nicer.

 

So...even though SA dropped the ball early on with this thing and recalled without even having a "fix", I think ultimately I'm happy with the way it went and happy with the results. Although it's always easier to be happy when you have the gun in hand.

 

I guess I would buy another SA...maybe not a brand new model. This would be my second trip down the new model debacle, as I also went for the Ruger SR9 and liked it, then had to shelve it 'till they were ready to fix it, (sorry..."upgrade it") then was VERY unhappy with the crappy trigger when I finally got it back. From my experience SA wins the contest in the "recall" game.

 

When did you send yours in? My dad sent his in sept 9th and still hasn't gotten it. Tried calling customer service today and the phone was off the hook at 1600

_{I can't remember when I sent it in. It was several weeks after the recall was announced. I want to say early september.}

Mine was rec'd on 9/18 and updated to "fixed" in the system today. 

 

Probably won't be back to me for Christmas but will be back for me so I can CCW during the after Christmas sales.

How did you find it was "fixed in the system".

All I ever got was 1 email response after multiple phone calls and emails.

If you go in as if you were going to register for the recall, after you put in your S/N it tells you the status of your gun.

That works, thanks

Glad it worked out for you. I'm still on the fence about getting that or the M&P.

Before AND after the recall...I love that gun. It's a little tiny fist full of fury, but it's fun to shoot and easily hides. Great gun.
