DD123 Posted April 26, 2017 at 07:47 PM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 07:47 PM https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/04/jeremy-s/new-springfield-armory-undisclosed-new-pistol-platform/ I just received an email and it appears that the name of the platform will be the XDe. If you watch the video in the article, even though the gun is blurred out, it distinctly looks like it has an RMR of some sort on it, so I'm going to guess that it's a single stack carry gun with the slide milled out to accept an RMR.

xdm45aaron Posted April 26, 2017 at 08:21 PM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 08:21 PM If you pause the video near the end at the right time it has a hammer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drumgod Posted April 26, 2017 at 08:48 PM Share Posted April 26, 2017 at 08:48 PM The Saint promo was long, painful and, generally speaking, much ado over nothing. Given the short promo for this gun maybe it will be something actually interesting. I'm guessing a smoothed-for-carry, hammer fired version of the XD-S targeting the compact 9mm 1911 and G43 crowds.

patriot1776 Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:58 AM Share Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:58 AM No big deal , coming to the party late with a hammer fired pistol made in Croatia probably with a substandard trigger to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3ddiver Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:25 PM Share Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:25 PM I love my Springfields but as of right now I would say no thanks. I guess it is hard to reinvent the wheel but that is what I keep hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangrel Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:46 PM Share Posted April 27, 2017 at 09:46 PM I would not carry anything with an exposed hammer, especially not concealed. Too much opportunity for something to get lodged between hammer and firing pin. Unnecessary failure point on a device that may be the difference between life and death.

RandyP Posted April 28, 2017 at 02:30 AM Share Posted April 28, 2017 at 02:30 AM Per the articles I've read the XDe is the result of 2-1/2 YEARS of effort? Dang - can't say it looks like that much thinking went into it. Yet another single stack, relatively low capacity 9mm. I'm liking my Taurus PT111 more and more each day.

DD123 Posted April 28, 2017 at 02:38 AM Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 at 02:38 AM Yeah I'm gonna pass on that too. Look how low your hands will be on the frame, and how high the barrel would be in relation to your hands. That thing is gonna flip more than Hillary flips on issues.

BigBL87 Posted April 28, 2017 at 04:11 AM Share Posted April 28, 2017 at 04:11 AM I wouldn't mind taking one for a spin, I actually prefer an exposed hammer. Springfield's HQ is just an hour away, it's kind of sad that I don't own at least one. I really want one of their 1911's, but with our first kid on the way I don't see that happening any time soon.
