Re: New for 08 thumb safety on XD
Makes perfect sense to me. They're trying for the government contract that is out for bids and one of the requirements, from what I understand, is a thumb safety. Note that they are first putting it on the .45.

Gee, real nice of them to NOT make it ambidextrous...

From their website it appears that it is an ambi safety. Click the "more" link for a right side image.

 You didn't fully check out the specs, it is ambi.ETA: Ambi safety is part of the government requirement for the bid so I thought that since I knew it everyone would. My bad.

I'm sure this is also an effort to get more police department contracts as well.

Re: New for 08 thumb safety on XD
I'm hating these tiny thumb safeties. Add something with meat on it at least so you can hit it.

Re: New for 08 thumb safety on XD
I agree, add a descent sized one so I can rest my thumb on it when it is in the down position for when I'm shooting "Jedi Lycanthrope Style".
