Shooters:
Picked up the XD-E yesterday and ran about 100 rounds through it today. First fifty were American Eagle 115 gn. Those were followed by some 147 plated on top of 4.2 Unique.
Gun came with hard sided case, two magazines a 9 and an 8, a gun lock, extra fiber optic material for the sights, and a flange to replace the "finger grip" on the bottom of a magazine for extra conceal-ability when engaged in CC. Also had a well printed owner's manual and registration card.
All the features are as advertised and I espeically like decocker that is also a safety. It is a seriously thin gun. One inch wide is as advertised and that is true.
Gun ran well. No jams of any kind. I've included a pic of my best group, at five yards. It is interesting that I am high and to the left with this gun, but low and to the left with my heavier Beretta 92FS. This gun is small enough for CC and you can carry in whatever mode you are comfortable with. You like it cocked and lock, you are good. If you prefer one in the pipe with the safety on the DA/SA action here means you can still fire fairly quickly. (Although you have to be a better DA shot than I am.
I got mine at Scheels in Springfield IL for $499. When I was on the search for one my local range guys said their supplier had had 150 of them and they were gone very quickly. When I called Scheels they only had the one left, but would hold it a couple of days for me. Thank you Scheels.
This is my first Springflield firearm and so far I have nothing to complain about.
Life is good.
