What kind of trouble are you having?

Thank you.
So, since your post was quoted on XDtalk because I was asking if anyone had ever hear of if these issues you claimed to know about, you're crying a river and deleted your post? What is it only good enough for this forum or since you have no credibility or information to back up your unsubstantiated claims, you deleted your posts?


Well, here:

If so, they would sell like hotcakes.

My real problem with the XD is the fact that Springfield Armory will not allow me to replace the part for him. It must be sent back to the factory.

XD's are great guns....but they do have a rather high number of guns with bad extractors from the factory. After seeing how the extractor is inserted and removed....and the design that places it at 5 o clock with only the top third of the claw grasping the rimless case... it's no wonder.
Just wondering how many people you know who have bought XDs, new or used, and had issues with them. How many of those people have had issues requiring the XD to take a trip back to Springfield?




There was absolutely no bashing whatsoever...I was curious because I've never heard of anyone experiencing the issues you claim to be a regular happening. You're getting your panties in a twist over me doing some research with people who actually do own XDs and have put tens of thousands of rounds through them and asking people who work on XDs for a living? I'd say it sounds more like you making stuff up.
