Springfield is at it again

[saintnick81]

Not going for quite as much buildup this time. What do you think?

I don't know how to make the video show up.

Polymer, striker fired, .380?

Because that'd be, like, a game changer.

Based off of the ending it looks like another version of their XD line a subcompact with a rail and loaded chamber indicator at least. At least they are not pulling another "Saint" stunt that was ridiculous.

Probably a 2.0/Mod 2/Gen 2/whatever version of the XDm line. It has yet to be updated.

There's a thread over at XDTalk.com about this. Some of the stills appear to show an external hammer.

[Bigtanker]

Hammer fired single stack maybe. We'll find out this weekend.

Putting my money on something highly underwhelming.. prep for more publicity an sneak peaks of this CRAZY NEW thing. Sigh

...and by "at it again" do we mean making flat-out copies of popular guns or making their own chunkier versions that are similar to guns already out there?

A little of column A, a little of column B.

XD "Enhanced" makes a bit of sense, and speculation I tend to agree with is a striker-fired single stack. I won't be much interested if it's polymer, and I suspect it is, but still, I'll give it a look. Never had a problem with any of my Springfields (other than the XD-S recall debacle), so hopefully whatever it is will be a hit. I'm still really keen on giving the new bobtailed EMP 4 CCC a look when I can find one in wild.

You can hardly hold their 1911 and AR against them. Everybody copies those.

Similar thread in handgun subforum.

From adolescent pratice of looking at other pixelated questionable material... I'd also add it looks like it has optics (carry optics, rmr style).

And they couldn't just start building 40 caliber 3 inch EMPs with the Carry Contour. Cause that'd be way too easy. Dumbasses .

Noticed that in the video it looked like it might have an RMR or something similar on it.

I'm completely with you on this... the 3" EMP platform absolutely begs to be bobbed IMHO.

I'm honestly already bored.

Way to consistently underwhelm, Springfield.

What do you expect from a company that only makes things that have already been made?

The big thing is probably that took them two years to choose which color of Cerakote to put on one of their 1911s.

Let's leave Apple out of this discussion.

So we are getting a new XDM and XDS with rounded corners? Count me in!
