Springfield XD-S recall

[Drewski]

Guessing I'll be needing to order some new Talon grips.

Was looking on the XD forum and thought I read a thread where the guy said on the SA website you can enter you XD SN# and it says if it has been upgraded, didn't verify this so don't quote me.

Not liking where I read that there is a slight increase to the trigger pull. I'm hoping to find they haven't changed to much of what I found to like a lot about the gun.

On the recall page, click the "get started" link and enter your serial number.

My tracking number also says I should get a delivery on Tuesday.

I had a PRP spring kit installed in my XDs which improved the trigger quite a bit. If you are unhappy with the new trigger it might be worth trying that.

It's probably worth waiting to be sure the kit is compatible with the new parts.

Status says mine has been been fixed, but no other information at this point, guessing I should receive that information very soon!

More info on the changes and the new trigger pull.

For those that never read links... Only 1/2 lb increase in trigger pull

Been on the XD forum and read that post, comes across as a non issue, hope so.
Read another article on the whole fix and appears it was quite a warranted recall. From an unwanted discharge to those thinking they had a round chambered and ready to fire were possibly going to be let down.
Still showing fixed, but no email with ship info yet. Probably waiting for FedEx to pickup yet, getting anxious.

*** UPDATE ***
Got an email with the FedEx info, will be here Wednesday!

To those wondering exactly what the problem might have been, here is Yankee Marshall's take (and it ain't pretty):

[grimbeaver]

A group of guys on XDTalk have the exact problem nailed down pretty well.

When everything goes wrong (i.e. the gun is fired without the grip safety depressed*) as soon the slide has traveled rearward just a few millimeters (about the time the breech begins to unlock), it activates the disconnector, and the sear attempts to pop up to its upper rearmost position to catch the striker. However, on some guns, the pressure exerted downward on the sear by the grip safety arm (which wouldn't be touching the sear if the grip safety were depressed) is enough to prevent the sear from popping up high enough to catch the striker. As the slide travels forward again under power from the recoil spring, the sear misses the striker because it is too low to catch it. The striker continues flying forward along with the slide as it strips the next round off of the magazine and chambers it before locking up the barrel and slamming into battery. Now unfortunately, since the trigger bar is still in its rearmost position (whether you are still squeezing the trigger or not, the only thing that resets the sear, trigger bar and trigger is the force of the striker catching on the sear as it flies forward - and that didn't happen this time) the tab on the trigger bar is exactly where it needs to be to defeat the striker block safety as the slide slams home. The slide comes to an abrupt halt. However, that striker is still flying forward under its own momentum and there isn't a striker block safety in sight. BOOM. And here we go again. This will continue until the recoil shakes the gun hard enough to pop the sear up into its proper reset position to catch the striker, or your magazine runs empty. Taking your finger off the trigger will have absolutely no effect at this point.

Just got mine back.

[Drewski]

Same here.

Extended mag included plus the little hard case I'm assuming they used to pack it in through its journey at SA.

Bonus is they didn't have to tear off the Talon grips for the fix.

Range tomorrow.

I'm very curious what you guys think of the trigger on the fixed XDs. One person reported that it was now gritty and spongy.

[grimbeaver]

Still waiting for mine Got there on Sept 5th (day 3) so hoping to get a shipping notification within the next week. Someone said the small hard cases are what the guns come from Romania in. Then once in the USA Springfield repackages them into the larger cases with all the accessories. Makes sense from an international shipping cost perspective.

Got my 9mm XDs back today. Trigger seems fine. If it's a little more pull, I really don't remember and it doesn't stand out as being a issue.

I've only dry fired it (no time to hit the range yet) but didn't notice much difference, if any.
