About the Gun

The Croatian made XD pistol represents Springfield Armory's entry into the polymer-frame striker-fired pistol market. Although Springfield Armory introduced the XD in 2002, an earlier incarnation of the design known as the HS2000 had been independently imported into the US three years before. The XD model introduced many manufacturing improvements that have given the pistol a reputation for reliability and accuracy. While often compared to the GLock, the XD has a distinctly different trigger action that includes a unique 1911-style grip safety, and both a cocked status indicator and a loaded chamber indicator.

Production

Production of this firearm with an earthtone frame began in 2006 and continued through various updates until around 2020. Specific dates may vary based on model variations and manufacturing batches, but this range covers the general timeline for this particular configuration.

Analysis

This .45 Auto tactical pistol offers a solid blend of performance and practicality for shooters seeking a full-sized duty or home defense firearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-designed barrel and sight system. Ergonomically, the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes with customizable backstraps, enhancing control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a key asset, with the pistol cycling smoothly through various ammunition types under diverse conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a more complex disassembly process compared to simpler designs. Availability of aftermarket parts may also pose a challenge for customization enthusiasts. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 to 7 pounds, though some may find it slightly heavy for rapid follow-up shots. Felt recoil is manageable for a .45, aided by the pistol’s weight and grip design, though newer shooters might need adjustment time.

AN ALL-AROUND EXCELLENT .45 PISTOL.
By quavis on 18 Oct 2023
This is a great coming-of-age .45 caliber pistol. It has the look,power and feel of classic sidearms such as the 1911's, yet it constitutes a polymer frame so is lighter.That being said, it's different, but positively so and is the most fun pistol l have ever shot in my life! Aesthetics, balance,ergonomic,reliability and superb craftsmanship quality is what this pistol is about,with no issues in its operation to speak of.Accuracy is top-notch.l can emphatically recommend it to anyone who seeks to buy a .45 caliber pistol---newbie or seasoned shooter.
