The weight is 24.8 ounces with the nine-round magazine inserted. Springfield classifies it as a “Compact,” which is reasonably accurate, as it’s smaller than a service pistol. Make no mistake, though, this is not a tiny pocket pistol, by any stretch. It is relatively thin overall, with the grip being one inch thick, contributing to its concealability. The pistol’s length is 6.75 inches, and the height is five inches. The slide is forged steel with a Melonite finish, which is black. This particular model has a 3.3-inch barrel, which is hammer forged. XD-E 3.3 SpecificationsĪt any rate, it’s time to take a look at the technical aspects of the XD-E. Here, the XD-E is shown in “cocked and locked” mode. The safety is mounted slightly high for the author’s taste. The controls operated smoothly, including the takedown lever (far left), slide release, and safety/decocker. An example is a revolver when the hammer is cocked, it is evident that the revolver is ready to fire in single-action mode-the same situation with this pistol. I don’t know about you, but I think that maybe a pistol with an exposed hammer might be easier to learn on, and quite possibly, safer in the hands of a newer, less experienced shooter. They’ve finally concluded that seasoned shooters have long known, and that is that the government cannot protect us and that anarchists enjoy attacking people.Īs a result, new shooters have joined the ranks like never before. Finally, it has dawned on a massive segment of the American public that they may need to protect themselves in the very near future. They’ve arrived in droves, given the recent political developments. That said, there is also a unique, new segment to our firearms community that is glaringly different: new shooters.
XD 9MM SPRINGFIELD MANUAL
That crowd likes options, such as being able to carry “cocked and locked,” i.e., with the hammer cocked and a manual safety activated (which this pistol does allow). The “purists” cut their teeth on handguns that had exposed hammers. The way I see it, the external hammer will appeal to a few segments of the shooting community. Everything new these days seems to be striker-fired. So why in the world would anyone want an external hammer in this world of striker-fired pistols? Well, maybe that’s the point. Springfield XDE 9mm XDE 3.3 With External Hammer Not too long back, Springfield introduced another in the XD line, the XD-E (the “E” stands for external hammer). 40 Caliber XDm that I took to a shooting school right out of the box, never having lubed it, and proceeded to put 1,300 rounds through it in two days, the thing functioned perfectly. One thing they all had in common was that through thousands of rounds (remember back when we could afford to shoot, back in the “Olden Days”?), I never experienced one single stoppage. A few standard XDs, a few XDm versions, and an XD-S.
XD 9MM SPRINGFIELD SERIES
Over the years, I’ve owned several of the Springfield Armory XD series of pistols.
