Now about those stainless-steel magazines.
There's no bite to gripping it and it's so smooth and natural to disengage. What the pistol does have is a loaded chamber indicator that pops up from the top of the slide and a grip safety that has to be deactivated before the pistol can fire.
Springfield xds 9mm mod 1 manual#
I've never had to hunt for the button.Īnother lever that I didn't have to hunt for was the manual safety because it doesn't have one. Not only does help me find a proper grip, it offered me quick access to the mag release. When I grasped the gun with my firing hand, my thumb repeatedly settled into a carved-out scalloped area molded into the grip frame. I particularly liked how the grip was shaped near the magazine release button. 2 maintains ample serrations at the rear of the slide to make racking the slide and overcoming the resistance of the dual-spring recoil system any easy task for even those challenged with dexterity issues. While the slide is slimmer than the original XD-S, the Mod. The slide lock can be reached to manually engage and is easy to press down to release it. This higher hand position improved on the great point-and-shoot handling characteristics of the original XD-S and provided us a carry gun that felt more like a natural extension of the arm.īeing just 6.3 inches long and 4.4 inches tall, the XD-S' controls are minimal yet large enough to reach. 2 measured just less than an inch wide and featured a higher undercut at the back of the triggerguard that allows us to bring the firing hand closer to the bore axis of the gun. 2's reputation for unique texture that surrounds all the touchpoints.Īnd it's slim! The XD-S Mod. Just when you thought a pistol couldn't be made more ergonomic, the polymer-framed XD-S really benefited from the improved Mod.
When Guns & Ammo's staff first handled it, we were wowed by how good it feels in the hand.
Springfield's new XD-S uses a 3.3-inch barrel chambered in 9mm. 2, this updated single-stack carry pistol is a perfected version of the original. In the case of Springfield Armory's XD-S Mod. It's hard to follow the original when the first iteration was so good.
