i got my XDs back last week put about 150/200 rds through it last week
all was good today shot it 11 times then click ? now what racked the slide
click dropped magazine out racked slide and a small piece of plastic falls out
gave springfield a call varry nice and helpful turns out my trigger safety broke
right now im disappointed in them i hope they make things right.
but dont think a new magazine will do it though :cuss:
 
I don't know, really sounds to me like XDs needs to be traded/sold off.

:confused::confused::rolleyes:

My XDs .45 has been 100% reliable through 600 rounds now. Parts do break, especially small plastic parts. Doesn't mean that the OP needs to sell or trade it off.
 
A friend of mine is trying to sell his never been shot XDs. He never shot it, sent it off for the recall and now that it's back he refuses to shoot it. In the words of his brother "He's mad at springfield." He wants 500 for it, and I've really thought about buying it because I'm not mad at springfield.
 
I myself wouldn't really be comfortable with a handgun that shed "small plastic parts" particularly after being fresh back from one recall but that's just me.
 
the thing that gets me the most is man I JUST GOT IT BACK yes things do break
butt this is the first gun i ever had to send back now it broke again !! oh ya
did i say that i just as in last night got a XDm :banghead:
 
It sucks that a part on your XDs broke, but it is not indicative of the quality of the XD lineup as a whole. I have 2 XDm's and a XDs, and all three have been flawless.

Springfield will take care of you quickly. Their current turn around time is 1-1.5 weeks for repairs. And don't worry about your XDm. Go out, shoot it, and enjoy it.

man i hope so i made my mind up to just stick with one platform so i picked
Springfield over Glock & S&W MP for CCW and to replace my 92FS as my H/D
gun right now i just dont have a warm and fuzzy feeling

Especially parts that disable the handgun.

My experiences with my EMP several years ago have some parallels to this, and caused me to lose confidence as well, so I don't blame the OP for being a bit miffed.
 
It's a great little gun, and I am a pain in the neck to please. Honestly I know how you feel, I have had similar luck with some guns, but it's the luck of the draw sometimes. You just got a bad one. It happens. I would tell them how disappointed you were and that you feel they need to remedy this, as you have been told by your "forum" members that they would make it right. I have had glocks break the recoil rod and spring assembly while shooting, so it can happen on any gun.
That glock is still here after 17 years and never had another problem with it. But I do have an extra recoil assembly.
 
yes i will put a note in with the pistol when i send it back next week
that this is my CCW pistol to please go through it it needs to
work 100% of the time or somthing like that
 
I wouldn't worry about your XDm. Just shoot it an enjoy it. I've shot many trouble free rounds through mine. Let us know what Springfield says about your XDs.
 
After seeing some of the responses here, I always wonder about some of the gun owners out there.

If a part on your car broke, would you immediately lose faith in it and trade it in? Or if your furnace went out, would you sell your house?

YEAH! That'll show those jerks at Springfield!
 
I don't understand gun owners that make excuses for problem gun lines.

This isn't a one-off. This is like buying a car model that tends to catch fire or a house built on a landfill.

Glock has been making a trigger like this for THIRTY TWO YEARS. The main thing we're paying for in combat gun is reliability - any gun with a known tendency to break shouldn't even be in the running as a life saving tool.

No but that's not a reasonable analogy. How about this. You hear on the web that your home alarm system has a flaw and it has to be serviced by a tech before you turn it on again. You lose the use of your alarm system for five months while you wait for an overwhelmed tech to come out and fix it. Shortly thereafter, you turn on the alarm while leaving the house and it fails to run it's tests and is disabled.
An alarm, like a CCW gun has to work every time because the one time it is really needed it just has to work. It's not like a car that you can pull over to the curb or be cold for a night.
Separately, when you buy a factory reconditioned high tech device you need to beware. Not because the factory doesn't fix the problem that they found to be flawed but that in the act of opening and servicing the machine, there is some probability that they will create another problem with a different component.
Factory recalls are really problematic, particularly for 'must work' items such as handguns. It's why I would not be an 'early adopter' for any firearm that will be used for HD/SD.

I would sell the gun back to Springfield for what you paid for it, including your time and trouble to send it back plus the ammo you shot thru it to prove it reliable. You will never be able to trust the gun so it's completely useless to you except as a wall hanger imho.

Nobody here made an excuse for it. The trigger safety breaking is not a common problem to the XDs that I know of.

As to your comment about the XDs being known to have a tendency to break, what parts have you seen that are common to break on it?

I'm merely saying that the OP should let Springfield fix his gun. If he doesn't want it when it comes back, sell it off. I could care less what he does with it honestly. I just know that Springfield has excellent customer service and they will take care of the problem.
 
It sounds very much like the XDS trigger failures being discussed on the XD forum. Does that make it "common"? No idea. It certainly doesn't sound isolated, though.
 
Sorry to hear this.

I'm not throwing salt in the wound here.

It's the same pistol platform they've made in Croatia before, but SA put their logo on it, and charges $300 more.

My G36 has not let me down once, in many years. Glock has increased production/assembly in the USA: money well spent.
 
springfield will fix my pistol they will flag it when they get it next week
and fix ASP but this is a CCW pistol must work when i need it to
i dont know if i will trust it now would you. you send your pistol back for
a recall ok they fix its gone over 3 months you get back shot it
11 times and its broke so would you trust your life on it

It is NOT just a scaled-down slim XD/HS2000 pistol.
They worked hard to make the controls and external look the same, but there are a lot of differences inside.
