Default Springfield Armory XDS .45

FTFs, stovepipes, failure to return to battery ... returned it under a recall ... SA claimed to have recut the breech, still a Croatian POS with same problems

talked to Kyle at SA ... he couldn't make a decision on a refund, and refused to forward me to his manager. Shipped it back for a second time ...

hope SA gets sued out of existence
or goes the way of Colt ...

Never seemed to have too many of those problems with the old 1911 and its clones. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Altho I prefer the 1911 over anything for My own defence, My Son has had 2 XD's and both of them performed flawless. If I needed a tool for duty , this would probably be My first pick , with the extra magazine capacity. I would have one for myself it came in 10MM , and wasn't so damn ugly.

Croatian made is also a + for me , since I'm of Croatian descent. Croatia is not some third world mud shithole .
