Springfield XD-S recall

Well I'll be damned, the pin the grip safety does serve a function:

Best information I've seen yet. Thanks!

Rumor is that in the update tomorrow they will announce that 9/3 is done and they expect to get 9/4 and 9/5 done next week. Since mine was a 9/5 I'm hoping that's true. I guess the 9/3 shipment was significantly larger then any of the subsequent days were.

Well, given that 9/3 was the first business day after the Labor Day weekend, it's not surprising at all that the 9/3 shipment was significantly larger than 8/30 or 9/4. I suspect shipments that ordinarily would have been received that Saturday (8/31) or Monday (9/2) were delayed until 9/3.

When I sent mine in I used a soft zipper case I had to fit the box I was going to use. I've been concerned about getting it back ever since. I did hard wire a tag to it with my info including name & SN. Just got off the phone with SA & he reassured me I will be receiving my case back. Their notes specify gun received in personal case

Got mine back on Thursday. Haven't taken it to the range (probably Monday I will) so can say how it shoots. I put my electronic trigger pull gauge on it and it gained a pound and 4 ounces. While I was not impressed with that, I was quite satisfied in how the trigger felt. Pre-recall, it basically sucked....worst trigger I've ever had from SA (I have 4 of the XD platform pistols). While now a heavier trigger, it is at least smooth. Would rather have had it smooth and yet at the previous pull weight, but I'll live with it the way it is now. I'm hoping it will lighten up a bit after getting some range time on it.

Ran across this YouTube video demonstrating the XDs flaw and why it's so dangerous....

Today's the BIG day!!! Come on FedX truck! Awesome update Friday with expected return time frames for the rest of ya

SA handled this recall quite respectfully. Rep I spoke with last was hoping they'd all get a "I survived the XDs recall" teeshirt.

One Xtreme Duty Pistol Upgraded and Approved returned home today with a complementary gold a plated extended magazine

Gotta say out of the box my trigger on my 9mm was not at all good. However after putting 75 rounds through it last night it seems to have smoothed and lightened up a little. Also discovered that Wolf Military Classic while cheap has terrible accuracy in this gun. All my shots seemed to go low compared to the Blazer Brass I shot for the first few mags.

A little help, please...

I've been upgraded to "Your pistol has been fixed" today.

How long from here to "Shipped" and then "In my hot little hands sending fire downrange?"

You should receive by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. The web site will say your gun has been returned to you when they ship it.

Thank you, tenmil.

Arrived today! 3 1/2 month turnaround. Rec'd as well the gold plated mag!
Sounds like turnarounds are at the 2 month mark now for those that haven't sent in yet, based on the latest email

How's the trigger? Mine was crap till I put a few rounds through it.
