As always, great review, thanks! Getting one for my son tomorrow. Has everything I want for him... Passive safety, Optics cut, front serrations, rear serrations/wing, charge & chamber indicators, METE-esque flat trigger. Would love to see an XD Slim variant!
@woodystube1000Ай бұрын
Good video. The XD has always been a great choice, and the Mod 3 is a phenomenal value. I normally am not a big fan of "budget" guns, but I would not hesitate to recommend the Mod 3 to anyone, new to shooting or otherwise. It's a little big for concealed carry, but it would be perfect for comfortably practicing fundamentals and even carrying as a sidearm. XD's do need a break-in of about 200 rds, but then they are extremely reliable.

The springs in the XD magazines are much much thicker compared to Glocks or other manufacturers. Not sure why, I'm assuming it contributes to the reliability and longevity. You probably notice how much harder it is to load rounds in the XD mags.

Why does that make a gun more reliable or durable?
@davidj3755Ай бұрын
@@The3rd1inLine Not sure. I'm guessing that thicker springs contribute in pushing all the rounds upwards, allowing reliable feeding down to the last round. There must a reason for the extra thickness.

Update: Just bought 2! Just a feature-rich, great feeling all-rounder. The trigger is excellent… a solid wall, a tad long on the reset but after 10 dry fires it felt very natural. With the current Scheels sale and the 2nd mag I was going to buy anyway, I got the 2nd for $200. What a great price-point. More plastic inside than others possibly. Can you compare the inside of your Mod 2 to the Mod 3?

I don’t know what’s going on with Glock lately, but I’ve been seeing a lot of their newly sold guns on several different KZbin channels and all different Glock models have malfunctions. I’m not sure if it’s just a coincidence or if their quality control is at an all time low because Glocks are generally known to be very reliable pistols.

I know everyone wants tiny thin hicap 9mm guns, but I like the chunky subcompacts. If I had one of these stupid cheap Mod.3 pistols I would seriously consider chopping the grip down like a Glock 19 so I could use the XD/Mod.2 subcompact mags in it. Also, for as cheap as these are I am surprised Springfield didn't make them in .40 and .45

Not saying it can't be done, but some gunsmith years ago making an armourer's video about the XD found it extremely difficult to cut through whatever material the frame is made of to make a cutaway. He broke a bunch of bits in the process lol

That G26 is sexy af
@woodystube1000Ай бұрын
They never clicked with me. I was in law enforcement when they came out, and until then the only viable options for backup carry were the J-frame revolver or the PPK. Since I carried .40 for my primary, I picked up an all-new G27 for my backup. I absolutely hated it. Loathed it, in fact. It was too heavy and blocky to carry comfortably on the ankle, and shooting it was like holding a piece of scrap 2x4 that tried to jump out of my hand. I got rid of it and went back to an internal-hammer J-frame and didn't look back. I get it, the G26 is a 9 and not a .40, and it can carry higher capacity mags with the extensions for concealed carry. But, to me, if you are going to extend the mag anyway, why not just carry a G19 with a flush-fit mag? Just my experience.
