XDs Recall

Shipped mine back on 9/4 then about 3 weeks later I recived an email from SA saying it should be returned 10/4 and now they say they haven't even finalized a solution yet? Sounds like either the right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing or someone is flat blowing smoke up our butts. Just my humble opinion :).
 
I'm not upset with them and - as I said before - I'd be happy with a SA sticker when they return my gun, but a free mag would probably make me decide I need to buy more Springers.
 
They have a fix!! Per their website......
"This information applies only to XD-S™ pistols in the serial number ranges below
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm pistols - serial numbers between XS900000 and XS938700
Springfield 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols - serial numbers between XS500000 and XS686300

We are pleased to announce that our testing was successful and is complete.

We will receive our first shipment of upgrade parts early next week and will begin shipping upgraded XD-S™ pistols back to our customers the week of October 21 on a first-received/first-upgraded basis.

To ensure our customers are continuously informed of our progress, we will provide website updates every Friday until all of the pistols are back in the hands of their owners.

We are confident that you will be extremely pleased with your upgraded XD-S™ pistol and we wish to express our deep gratitude to all our valued customers who have demonstrated such patience, support and loyalty to Springfield Armory®. As a small token of our thanks, we will be enclosing an XD-S™ extended magazine with X-tension sleeve with each pistol we return.

This Springfield XD-S™ Recall Update will be updated every Friday through the recall process. Please check back for updates.

As a reminder, do not use your 3.3 XD-S™ until the upgrade has been performed."
 
Yea I received the text a few hours ago with the same update.

Looks like we will get a free 7rd mag for .45's or 9 rd mag for 9mm's

I would really like to know the specifics of the fix.

I'm still waiting till some people start getting their's back and see how good it's really fixed and if it negatively affected anything.

I don't really want to be a beta tester
 
^^^ +1

I've been stocking up on .45 ammo just for that reason. Mine was 100% reliable before the fix, and i want to make sure it stayed that way.
 
Me too. I had it all of 2 weeks before I sent it off. I'm really looking forward to getting it back, putting some rounds through it, and carrying it again.

That was pretty cool of them to throw in a free mag. I'll definitely put it to good use.:D
 
It cool there given us mags, but would have been nice to have the choice, I'd prefer the 5 rd mag, but thats just me. I'll just be happy to have my pistol back.
 
Forrest68, if you want a five round mag, simply put the seven round mag you receive up for sale or trade on the forum. I'm sure you'll find somebody who will take it off of your hands.
 
Just ask SA, they might swap out. What are they going to do say no and lose the opportunity to keep your business? That is the whole point in giving you the extra mag.
 
I bought a $40 extended mag when I purchased my XDs9. Oh well, you never know what's going to happen. On the bright side, now I'll two for range visits!

They do the right thing by giving an extra magazine away, and some still complain. I don't get it.

Who complained? Looking forward to getting my extra mag. Hope others are too.
 
wasn't so much a complaint, just saying would have been nice to have the choice. I already have 2 extended mags and would prefer a 5rd mag. I guess I should voice my opinion, never said they owed me anything in the first place.

Apparently you didn't get the part where I said I was happy they were given us mags Whip1

It's been months now. Pretty upset that it'll still be MORE time before the wife gets her XDs back. She doesn't want it anymore, and has already bought another gun for CCW.

I think the resale value of these things will be worthless when they do come back, extra mag or not.
