XDs Recall

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.

If you live in Ohio, I'd buy it. Let me know.
 
To me, it's like getting a new gun again. I'm looking forward to it. Plus, right before I sent mine in, I bought an awesome leather holster for it that I never got to use. I hope to have mine back soon!

That's funny. i did the same thing. I bought a Galco IWB leather holster 2 days before mine was shipped off. It's still sitting in the package.
 
This just in...

We are pleased to announce that the process of upgrading XD-S™ pistols has begun, and we will start shipping TODAY on a first-received/first-upgraded basis.

In our last update, we reported that upgraded pistols would start shipping sometime next week. But our team has been working around the clock and we are thrilled to start shipping today.

We have greatly increased our staff to get upgraded pistols back to customers quickly, and we are committed to achieving the fastest turnaround times possible. For now, we are unable to provide specific return shipping date ranges, but we do expect to share more information next Friday after we've had a full week to gauge how efficiently we will be able to complete this process.

When upgrades are finished on individual firearms, customers will receive a shipping notice and tracking information at the e-mail address they provided for the XD-S™ recall. And as a token of our appreciation for our customers' patience and support, we will also be enclosing an XD-S™ extended magazine with X-tension sleeve with each pistol we return.

As we reported last week, our engineers have redesigned the grip safety and created more positive engagement between the sear and striker on the upgraded XD-S™ pistols. Our solution delivers the advantages of a smoother and more consistent trigger feel with just a slightly increased trigger pull. We chose this option based on the two most important attributes to self-defense firearm owners - safety and reliability - and we are confident that our customers will be extremely pleased with their upgraded pistols.

We want to again express our deep gratitude to all of our valued customers for their loyalty to Springfield Armory®.

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.

I don't like that part about slightly increased trigger pull. Just how slightly are we talking?
 
"a slightly increased trigger pull"...no thanks.
Does this mean that reduced trigger pull spring kits will now make the gun "unsafe" again?
 
If you guys read the recall, you will see that part of the fix was a more positive engagement of the sear and striker. That is where the slightly increased trigger pull is coming from. The difference will most likely be negligible.
They had to do that to eliminate the potential for the double fire issue that the XDs was experiencing.
 
The reason that statement about the trigger pull worried me was if it's noticeable enough that they felt they had to mention it, ('cause you know they didn't want to) it must be pretty significant. Sound to me like they are trying to play it down by using the word "slightly".

But I agree that they did what they had to do. I guess we will see how slight it is when people start getting theirs back. I may just have to keep mine with the "pre-recall" trigger.

You'd willfully keep a firearm in a state that the manufacturer has deemed unsafe enough for a recall? Are you serious? :eek: Wow, you realize that if any kind of AD were to happen due to a mechanical issue it would likely all be on you, not Springfield. To me this is like not bringing in a car to have its brakes fixed because your throttle response might go down slightly. It's insane.

Tunnel Rat, an accidental discharge would be on me anyway if someone was hit because I didn't have the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. The problem that A FEW of these pistols experienced was due to not properly holding the firearm therefore not engaging the grip safety. I'm not saying I won't send mine back, I just want to see how the trigger was affected before I do.

If someone gets hit it's usually not just an accidental discharge, it's a negligent discharge, and that's what any good lawyer will say, and likely win the case. Recalled pistol or not. The discharged bullet wouldn't have hit someone if the shooter kept the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

And it is a voluntary recall.
 
Whatever makes you happy, I think it's a really poor decision just because of a potentially slightly harder trigger pull on what is a close in defensive pistol anyway. But this is America and you're entitled to it.

Probably will end up sending it in, as long as people aren't having to pull the trigger with both hands to make it fire. I just want to know the effects of the recall before I send mine in, and let the turn around time catch up a little.

Don't hire a lawyer for me just yet
 
Just received an email from Springfield today saying mine had shipped today and Fed Ex tracking says it should be delivered Wednesday.

I know man, mine still smells like brand new leather without a scratch on her. Can't wait to try it out if I EVER get my XDs back. :mad:
 
Wow! I just got a phone call from Springfield telling me that my XDs9 will ship today and be here Thursday. Thank goodness.
