Looks like Springfield is gonna get a **** ton of these dropped off in Geneseo, Il. on tues. after the holiday. Mine will be one of them.

 

[stesco]

Mine will be there Tuesday as well. Lets see well prepared they are to turn these back around.

I got a second email exactly like the first one, stating that I'll get an email from fed ex with a return label, but have not received anything from fed ex.

Anyone have one of the ones outside of the recall serial numbers? Do the non recall guns have roll pins?

wondering if this is a true factory new condition fix or some hodge podge junk fix. I sure would like to know what they're doing. I don't really want to send it in and have them send me back some duct taped up junk fix...

 

[Dirtebiker]

Yeah I'm sure that's what they'll do!

 

[KG1]

Yeah I'm sure that's what they'll do!

Yep, especially after going thru all the expense and effort of doing a voluntary recall on their part to correct a potential safety issue.

Is this why I have so many for sale the past couple of months? People have found out, and do not want to take the time to ship them back, so it's easier to just sell them, and let the next guy deal with it?

no there have been very few cases and they just announced it

Think about it guys your not buying the gun again you are just sending it off to be repaired. It is no differant than if you were sending it to any other gunsmith. Your gun will come back to YOU at your home only thing is that an ADULT will have to sign for it from fedex. Also when l talked to speingfield they said guns will be repaired in the order that they recieve them. So no timeline can be given.So hurry and send it if your in a hurry.

Dropping mine off @ Fedex today. Interested to see what the turnaround time ends up being.

Um...I'm an engineer, and I know how this crap works. I've worked campaign recalls like this before. Sometimes the "fix" is a junk quick fix. And I guarantee you they are fixing these as quickly/cheaply as possible with that kind of quantity in order to legally cover their butt.

For example, smith and wesson did a horrible job with the fix for the shield .40 mag drop problem. They just sent out dimpled mags as the fix. Now how is that a real fix when production mags are not dimpled? I was supposed to use only the 2 mags I had forever? And excessive frame flex was not addressed, etc...

But thanks for your awesome input. You really opened my eyes

So again, does anyone know if the new xds outside of the effected serial numbers has the roll pin? I'd like to know if they're replacing parts with factory spec parts, or if they're just duct taping the issue.

So, I have never shipped a handgun. Any tips on packing, etc?

if you look at the serial numbers they are recalling 186k 45's alone + the 9's

Got mine shipped off today. Hope it doesn't take too long.

Meh... Not impressed but thanks for the condescension anyway. I would tend to believe that a "fix" related to a potential safety issue might be just a bit more involved than a junk fix for it to work correctly. You can have this eye roll back too.

I just registered mine. How long will it be gone?

 

[TLHelmer]

Do you send the entire pistol or just the frame?
