Can you tell us anything about this new pistol? Just got the email and they were very vague about it. Not sure if you can give any more details.

From an email Springfield sent out--XDE

"Introducing a new Springfield Armory pistol so compact, so capable, and so comfortable you'll carry it everywhere.

Come see it unveiled on Friday at the NRA Annual Meeting."

From what I gather... XDS size, MOD2 grips and lighter than the XDS. I hardly ever move XDSs anymore, so this may be what they need to get back into the single stack game. It's definitely gotten competitive. Curious about the price point. Shield has the low end freaking locked down right now and G43s are less than $500 so not sure which one they are going to try to push against

Why are people not buying the xds?

The recall deal is probably the main thing. Also, they kick pretty hard for a cc. When I had mine I had to very consciously keep the pistol down in order to have any sort of group. To me that's not a pistol I want to depend my life on. Just my opinion

I've had an xds 45 since they first came out. The recall was a PITA but other than that I love mine. It was the slimmest .45 on the market when it dropped and may still be. I think the 45 Shields are probably pretty close though.

Please tell me the words "GRIP ZONE" aren't part of this...

Dumbest thing ever on the new XD models

I've pretty much quit carrying my XDS, it weighs the same as a fully loaded G26 for the most part.

Heavy, overly aggressive grip, price, and early problems with the Springfield safety mechanism.

Well, here it is. An uglier XDs with a hammer, thumb safety, and the dreaded 'GRIP ZONE' added.

Looks like an XDs had a one nighter with a Chiappa Rhino and this resulted. No thanks...

I specifically purchased my XDs over the shield because of the grip/trigger safety. this is confusing.

WTH were they thinking? And no grip safety, that's different for SA.

Any info on cartridge offerings? Edited---9mm, as posted elsewhere.

I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I would like to shoot one and see if that helps solidify my opinion.

It might be striker fired - I don't see "hammer zone" written anywhere.

Springfield should really stick to 1911s instead of pushing this overpriced, outsourced crap.

I'll say it now... if anyone is wanting one, I'll bring it in but other than a "brand new gun is out, someone is going to want it"... I'm not planning on stocking this thing permanently.

That being said, I'll be happy to eat crow if it's a great gun. Just... doing absolutely nothing for me.

I think it's great. There really is nothing in the size of the Shield that is DA/SA.

I had two Shields for a while - but eventually dumped them because DA/SA is just my thing.

I now carry either a P2000 or P2000sk - but both are thicker than this. It would be great to be able to pocket carry something the size of the Shield again, but in DA/SA.

I personally can't wait to hold one and shoot one at the indoor range to see if I want to buy one

absolutely no need for a grip safety with DA/SA

Never mind. I thought the 938 was DA/SA. It should be. That's a shame.

The P239 gets close to shield size. But it's what, like $800?
MisterShipWreck
How long do you want to ignore this user?
With grips 239 is not shield size. Much thicker, and much heavier
