Talk:Springfield Armory XD

This pistol is overpriced. The same gun made by Croatian IM Metal company costs like $150 less than the Sprinfield model.-S&Wshooter

Pardon my asking, but...why are you so passionate about guns you hate that you feel a need to post on every page for them and express how shit you think they are? The forum is a better place to discuss this. -MT2008

Seconded. It almost seems like you're just trying to troll.

I think this gun is really cool and deserves more respect and acclaim.

The NRA gave it their Handgun of the Year award. What more acclaim do you want it to get?

Really? cool.

This Vs Glock

A lot of the new polymer, striker-fired guns are referred to as Glock clones but most have clear differences and improvements that separate them from Glock pistols (the S&W Sigma excepted). With this weapon however, I've never heard what specific features differentiate it from Glocks and whether those differences offer any improvement over Glock pistols. Could someone provide some comparison information about these two weapons?

Accuracy is better, better grips on all the XDs, especially the XDM series. Excalibur01 05:06, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I meant mechanical differences. For instance, the Walther P99 had a DA/SA trigger (at least at first), the Ruger SR9 had a manual safety, the Taurus PT 24/7 had both, a many guns have double-strike capabilities. These are all features that differentiate these Polymer, Striker-fired guns from the Glock series. Does this weapon have any features that diverge from the Glock other than minor differences like grip style?
