I really like my XDe 3.8, 9mm "hammer gun"
It's light and very flat although it has a high bore axis. Can be carried cocked and locked or DA with hammer down on a chambered round. The safety also doubles as a de-cocker.
Springfield discontinued it after a relatively short run and I'm going to call them to try to order a guide rod spring, aka recoil spring, as a spare. This spring supposedly decreases the effort to rack the slide by 25 to 30% and that does seem right. I don't know how this "improvement" effects the longevity of the spring.
I have only just short of 1000 rounds through the pistol so far and am wondering what other spares I should try to get such as those that might be prone to fail after a lot of shooting....Thanks for any advice.
