Got in on Springfield Armory's Gear up event with a new gun.

Purchased this tonight...

XDS-9. 3.3" barrel. 9mm chambering. This one has already had the recall upgrade done to it, and included the Extra 9 round extended magazine. The dealer took delivery of it right after the recall came out. Hence why the case is banged up. Took them like 5 months to get all 50 XDS guns (both 9mm, and 45ACP models) they had in stock. And I just redeemed the offer, so I have two more 7 round flush mags, and a 9 round extended magazine on the way. Also picked up 100 rounds of PMC bronze ammo, and 40 rounds of Critical Defense ammo. Got it all for Just under $600.

Good deal! I got three compact 1911 magazines as part of this promotion but they "feel cheap". Should be fine for range duty though.

I was pleasantly surprised that my free stuff was shipped FedEx 2 day!

Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

Really. Hope mine show up soon. That's awesome. Last time I got this deal was back in 2010 when they did it.

Ordered a Hidden Hybrid Holsters Holster/laser combo tonight for the XDS. You get a Crimson Trace Laser grip to mount on your gun, and a Holster for it. Retail value $295.

$240 with free shipping. Pretty excited to get it.

Looks super nice. I am deciding between an Xds like that or a SW shield. Shot the XDS and liked it, need to rent a Shield and make my decision. Just filed for my permit yesterday.

Great purchase either way, Springfield makes top notch stuff.

I owned a Shield last winter, and it was a nice shooter. Will be interesting to see how the XDS compares. I do have to say I like the feel of the XDS a little better. Can't wait to get the laser, and holster.

Nice XDs. Had a XD in 40 S&W subcompact (3 inch) but sold it to fund a XDm. SA's are nice pistols but hate the grip safety.

If you feed it lots of ammo, will it get bigger??? :lol:

Sorry, but with my 800 lb. troll hands that's out of my league. Looks like you got one hell of a deal, though!! Congrats!!!

BTW - That Crimson Trace setup looks REALLY nice. There's no way your shooting hand can get in the way of the laser....

Shot it for the first time today. It is an amazing gun. Much softer shooting than I thought it would be.

9 shot rapid fire group with laser at 7 yards. Not bad. All in the square.

Instead of making a new thread I'll just dig up my old one.

Now I know there is still plenty of hate and boycott Springfield Armory. But the deal was too good to pass up.

And I still have the laser and holster from the first time I owned this type of pistol. ImageImageImageImage
