New from Springfield, the XDE

[ram57ta]

I carry an XDS .45.
Not gonna lie, if i wanted even smaller I'd probably look at the CZ RAMI before this XDE.

I carry an XDs .45 regularly. When I want smaller I carry either a Kel-Tec P11 9mm or if I want even smaller a Kel-Tec P3at 380acp.

Is this supposed to be smaller? Looked about the same size.

Grip zone!

[Sleeper]

I like it. Might try one out for shield replacement

Have none of their focus groups told them to knock that shit off?

Apparently not. For me, it completely ruins an otherwise decent pistol.

Oh I agree

The texturing or the text?

For me its the text, I know its petty but I dont think I've seen another mfr do that type of gimmicky branding

[helosailor]

Yeah, the texturing is great. The text is some ad exec whiz kid bs that has no place on a firearm.

[Probie]

Gaaaaaaaaaaay

I thought that was the most idiotic name that a marketing group could have come up for on a firearm.

[SS Junk]

Two reasons I've never bought one are the grip safety and GRIP ZONE crap.

Also this is a terrible time to introduce a new product. They just cut their own throat with the gun community by sponsoring anti-gun legislation in Illinois.

Springfield and Rock River support this bill:
