This Springfield XD Gear Up package is not eligible for the Springfield Gear Up rebate.
The XD set the bar for polymer pistols. It redefined the industry standard for superior ergonomic comfort, ease of operation, features and performance in one fell swoop. The grip safety, Ultra Safety Assurance (USA) Action Trigger System, and the firing pin block safety combine to make this an undeniably safe defensive tool. The XD is built on a foundation of rock-solid durability and performance. It achieves this through the use of a forged slide and hammer-forged barrel, ensuring a long life and rugged reliability. A Melonite finish ensures that the pistol can resist the elements in the most unforgiving environments, and the slide is topped off with a tough set of steel white dot sights. If you're looking for a solid handgun for duty, concealed carry, or self-defense at a price point you can respect, the legend awaits.
Springfield discontinued this model. They are selling it cheap and throwing in extra mags and bags. Since we already owned an XD and extra mags, this seemed like a smart buy for my wife and me. I picked up the pistol this morning, completed the paperwork at my FFL, then drove over to the range where I loaded 50 rounds of Magtech 115 grain, 10 rounds into each of the 5 mags. I then shot some pretty decent groups and a few bullseyes. The pistol itself is basic, striker-fired, polymer with grip safety and trigger dongle. It's an excellent first pistol for someone who can't afford a VP9 and isn't a Glock Fanboy.
XD-9 is a very solid tough as nails pistol, good trigger and grip, two tone O/D look fabulous as well. All safety features and loaded indicator are good!
