    Headshot, I'm so glad that Springfield Armory wrote GRIP ZONE on their pistols. Otherwise I wouldn't know where to hold it.

    Got my xd mod 2 a couple of months ago. This is my first pistol. I enjoy it immensely. Use it as my CCW pistol with a shoulder holster by triple k. Would highly recommend it.

  • @jfscotch
    @jfscotch Před 8 lety +20

    Why do so many people hate the grip safety? To me, it's a non-factor. I have never, ever seen someone shoot a semi-automatic handgun with less than a substantial purchase on the grip which would engage the "grip safety" anyway. It's done without even thinking about it. Not an issue for me. I have an issue with magazine disconnects.

      Because they're dumb asses. I mean, the 1911 has been around how long? The notion it's some kind of liability is simply farcical. Most of the complaints I see are that it's annoying because it keeps you from racking the slide or whatnot. And that forces me to conclude those people are simply fucking retarded. It prevents you from doing nothing in any meaningful way, and better still, by virtue of the grip safety causes you to pay more attention when chambering a round when not actually shooting, and therefore serves to mitigate accidental discharges.
      If you're intentionally discharging the firearm, it doesn't impede that in any way. But if you're not intending to discharge the firearm and holding it in some other way, you actually have to think about what you're doing or the slide won't even rack. And I for one appreciate that feature. I was just reading something a while back about how the L.A. Sheriff's Department saw an escalation in accidental discharges after switching to sidearms with no safeties.
      Ultimately, it's the complaint of fanboys of other guns who look for something, anything, about which to complain for the purposes of denigrating this firearm. But I recently tried one, and that grip is awesome. I never thought much of it when I saw it advertised before. But having held it now, I don't think they could have made it fit my hand any better, short of doing a plaster cast of my hand and designing the grip around it. It's great.

      @ph00ny1 Před 4 lety +1

      Because it's another mechanism that can break. Guns breaking in the life or death situation is probably not a good outlook

I like all the safety features this firearm offers, I know it might be overkill for experienced shooters, but for me, I like it.! Glad to see you like the firearm as well. Thank you

  • @salvatorebartolomeo1031
    @salvatorebartolomeo1031 Před 7 lety +8

    Grip safety is the best idea for a striker fired handgun. I'm a little skeptical carrying a cocked and unlocked gun in my pants even though it may have a trigger safety feature. That's still not enough for me. So adding the grip safety makes me a bit more comfortable.

    • @lexwaldez
      @lexwaldez Před 5 lety

      And you don't really know the thing is there. I was hesitant, but I bought a used XDm and I'm a convert. These things are nice. I've hated on them ever since I shot one in my conceal carry training. I shot a Sig P226, a Glock 19, and the Springfield XD. I shop that damned XD way better than the other two. *shrug* Hard to argue with it when it works and is made well.

  • @JohnWick-pr3rc
    @JohnWick-pr3rc Před 4 lety

    I just got this gun today at a local gun show in Florida. I traded my used beretta px4 storm subcompact 9mm with 1400 rounds out of it. For the xd9 brand new with the stainless slide. Took it to the gun range rite after an put 300 rounds through it an was highly impressed. I think I made a good trade

  • @jfscotch
    @jfscotch Před 8 lety

    Picking my XD mod. 2 (9mm) FDE up tomorrow. Have an Xdm 3.8 45 ACP and XDS 45 ACP, both great guns. Also have plenty of Glocks and love them too. Was looking for a double stack 9mm and chose this over the G26 as I wanted something a little different. I am sure I will add a G26 to the collection at some point anyway.

    I have both the 9mm and the .45. Both are soft shooting guns. Very comfortable to hold and shoot. Its a shame Springfield stopped producing them.

  • @MichaelSmith-yy8fw
    @MichaelSmith-yy8fw Před 4 lety

    This pistol looks top heavy. It the one thing I don’t like about it but it’s just appearance. It shoots like a dream. The felt recoil is minimal and the accuracy is outstanding. It is comfortable and easy to hold on target. I bought mine in the subcompact 9mm version to complement my full size Mod2 for CCW. I wanted more rounds than my M&P Shield offered. Now I have 14, even with the flush magazine. Great video. Thanks for your contribution to the growing knowledge base on this marvelous pistol. MikeinMinnesota

    @DougMcDave Před 7 lety

    With the "grip zone," grip safety, and rear striker indicator I'm surprised it does not come with a set of training wheels. Still it's a very modern pistol and a fine shooter.

  • @kegankirby1460
    @kegankirby1460 Před 6 lety +3

    I think the grip safety is aimed more torwards small kids their little hands wouldn't be able to fit back there and pull the same trigger just my concept

  • @Ridg76
    @Ridg76 Před 8 lety

    The quality of the Springfield along with it's 100% reliability combined with the fact that it doesn't need numerous upgrades right out of the box like a Glock makes this pistol my EDC.

  • @charlesross8449
    @charlesross8449 Před 8 lety

    great review, with the inception of the short trigger reset on these and like guns is a misconception because the reset point is only going back to where the trigger pull actually starts much like the DA revolvers!!!

    • @charlesross8449

  • @Lee-rq1ek
    @Lee-rq1ek Před 9 lety +1

    I bought the Mod 2 .45 ACP a few weeks back…it is a fine short barrel handgun…the 9 round magazine carries one less than my full size M&P .45, which I carry without problem Texas summer heat and all…the 13 round magazine for the SA makes up for the difference. Picked-up a holster from Clinger Holsters and a magazine carrier from Kytex Shooting Gear…both are great products….great handgun.

    • @joetraina6844
      @joetraina6844 Před 8 lety

      I just bought the 45 version as well and I'm waiting for it to come in. I'm dying to get it in. Please tell me about the 45 recoil, concealing the heavier 45 and how happy you are with it. My two concerns are I'm a Glock guy and a 9mm guy, so I'm going outside of my comfort zone, but excited to do so. Overall, are you happy with your purchase? I own a Glock 43, 26 and 19. I conceal the 19 fine in the cooler months, so in your opinion do you think I'll find the XD similar to the 19 in size, but maybe not weight? Sorry, for babbling, just happy to see someone who got the 45 version. Thanks.

    • @Lee-rq1ek
      @Lee-rq1ek Před 8 lety

      +Joe Traina (atrain311) Joe, I don't know how familiar you are with any .45 ACP handgun. I have carried and shot .45 ACP for 37+ years, so, I am familiar with a 5" 1911 and even a friend's 3 inch Kimber, which was nothing in recoil, so, I had no reservations in buying and shooting the Mod 2.
      I have other .45 ACPs, and I like ALL because they provide what I desire in each gun, if that makes sense. The reason I desired the Mod 2 .45 ACP is barrel length. I wanted a short barrel length for comfort as well as more concealability. The short barrel length comes at a loss though...muzzle velocity (about 50 fps loss for each inch of barrel length loss). I don't want to get into a caliber or muzzle velocity debate, but I don't believe the loss in muzzle velocity is a hindrance. If one needs to shoot once, then two or three times isn't going to matter.
      I am extremely happy with the purchase of this handgun. I generally practice combat distances of 10 yards, and I have no problem shooting 3 inch groups taking my time and remaining in the thoracic area shooting multiple, quick shots. So, for you concern about recoil, it is very manageable.
      When I carry the handgun, I carry it in a Kytex holsters and carry a spare magazine in one of their kydex magazine carriers, which I like very much. www.kytexgear.com I have a Kytex holster for a 1911 and another magazine carrier for another 10 round .45 ACP magazine. Good stuff.
      Now, as for Glock, I have only shot one Glock, and that was about 25 years ago. Five shots very quickly at 10 yards in the head/face...very nice, but I'm not a 9MM fan. I have never owned a Glock. The Glock 21 is too large for my hands, but the Mod 2 fits like a charm. What else can I say ? Oh, I replaced the floor plate on the Mod 2 9 round magazine with a Pearce Springfield Armory XD magazine extension so I could get my small finger rested better...add very little to the butt length and is still very concealable.
      Hope this helps...

    • @joetraina6844
      @joetraina6844 Před 8 lety +1

      What a great post, THANK YOU! You just made me even more excited. I believe we have a responsibility to practice/train if we're carrying, so I will work hard to learn, manage and mitigate the recoil. It will be pricier to shoot, but worth it. 9mm is just feeling a little small right now. I'm excited for the change and really excited about the mod 2! Again, thank you!

    • @Lee-rq1ek
      @Lee-rq1ek Před 8 lety

      +Joe Traina (atrain311) Joe, have you ever shot a .40 S&W cartridge out of any handgun ? If so, the recoil will be no different if not a bit less. If the handgun fits your hand well and properly, you'll have no problems...Let me know what you feel after you've shot...really...re-post here.
      Yes, practice leads to perfect...I try to go to a range at least twice a month.

    • @joetraina6844
      @joetraina6844 Před 8 lety +1

      +Lee D sadly, Lee, I have not shot a 40 cal. I've had my NYS permit since 2005, but always shot 9mm. I started with a sign p228, then found Glock and have the 19, 26 and 43. I won't abandon the 9mm as I still love them, but I wanted a larger caliber and heard/read repeatedly that 40 is snappy where .45 is more of a push backwards. If follow up shots are important to me, less muzzle flip seems a better option, so that's why I bypassed the 40 and went 45. I know I'm in for a surprise, but I know it can be done. I've read that the mood 2 handles recoil better than most guns, so that was one of my deciding factors. Also, since my wife likes me carrying whenever legal, the small size of the mod 2 was great for concealment.

  • @kickadams8908ass
    @kickadams8908ass Před 7 lety

    For personal defense I use the M&P shield chambered in 9 mm, but for home defense I use the XD subcompact chambered in 40 Cal first GEN, on the XD subcompact if the gun was fully loaded one in the chamber it was hard to release the magazine is it like that on the mod 2?

  • @DesertTactical
    @DesertTactical Před 8 lety

    First time I check out one of your vids, man and I got to say you have a real helpful review. I just purchased this model in .40 cal after trying it out. I was sold I liked it a lot. However, I'm so used to my Glock as I train with it a lot. And I do mean a lot. Transitioning from the two different triggers back and forth is going to be weird for me. Any tips on that? Great video. Subbed to your channel.

    • @Hegshot87

    @CWB1863 Před 9 lety

    Yeah, what a stellar dude letting you review the Mod 2.I agree with JH6 as well, really cool people out there.
    Being a big XD fan, i almost traded in my original XD9 for the Mod 2.Honestly, i couldn't justify it($200 for a trade in btw).With over 650 rds without not a single malfunction i couldn't do it.Yes it has some nicer features, but i already replaced the front sight with a red fiber optic and also added some talon grips.
    I'll add, the original sights do suck, just too tiny...especially the rear sights.Last month i blacked out the rear and with the front red fiber optic, it's much better.Just a little tinkering, it was well worth it.Great video HEG!

  • @cbwelch4
    @cbwelch4 Před 5 lety

    If you could only have one, Heg, which would it be? I have the XDM Mod2 3.3 in .45 and the M&P 9c as well. Like both. The stock trigger is by far better on the XD. I had some double feeding initially in the 9c, that I attribute to really stiff mag springs that broke in, that went away. The XDM is Rick solid reliable. Both have great ergos. The large palm swell on the 9c fits my hand perfectly, but the grip is pretty good on the XD and the texture of the stippling is spot on. The stock sights on the 9c are well done and the rear sight has the non glare lines and I love the fiber optic on the XD. The 9c points as well as any pistol I own. I shoot both equally pretty much. The XDM absorbs the .45 recoil impulse impressively.
    The 9c is American. I like both.
    Btw - My trigger has no creep after you hit the wall. It is very smooth in it’s take up with a clean break. I got mine last year. Either there’s variance or they improved it.

    Its a good review but maybe speed up the shooting to get to the results quicker. Some of it was like watching paint dry. Also maybe mark the holes when you bring the target in to inspect? That way you will easily know what set each hole goes with. Keep up the good work. Out of the three guns you showed, which is your fav?

    Alot of people gripe about the grip safety, but the XD's are a true single action striker fired gun. With Glocks the striker is under pre-tension and the trigger finishes pulling it back to 100%. With the springfields the striker is at 100%

After trying it out, I'm glad I have guns with them. It gives me peace of mind when I'm stuffing the gun into my pants without looking.
