April 28th. SA will have a new pistol out. Got to shoot it at their media event. Look for feedback and pics tomorrow!

Come on brother, give us a little more to chew on than that … they’ve been teasing the heck out of this!
Ok, it will appeal to CCW holders that want certain things not normally found on a gun this size.

A grip I can wrap more than two fingers around?
Stuff if starting to trickle out … https://www.concealedcarry.com/news/the-hammer-reinvented-springfield-armorys-new-pistol-to-be-called-the-xde/
My bet’s on a G19-sized, hammer-fired, single-stack 9mm, starting MSRP of $699.

Grip Zone! Just in case the user forgets where their hand goes. Thanks Springfield for clearing that conundrum up for all of us.
It does look interesting other than that. Sort of reminds me of a SIG 239.

Exposed hammer?
I’ll pass on it. I wouldn’t get a Gen 1 anything, anymore, anyways.

We shot thousands of rounds out of the production guns. No issues.

That is interestingly FUGLY. However, if it’s reliable, accurate and affordable then the more the merrier.
Springfield has really turned me off with that “Grip Zone” nonsense. Beyond debating second strike capabilities, I can’t see this offering anything over a G43 or Shield.
More rounds and softer shooting.

DA/SA or DAO? Decocker?
9 or Fo-Tay Five?
Hmmm… My Wife and father both run XDs. They swear by them. I wonder how this will compare to the Shield. I love my shield, but there is always room for improvement.
Looks quite interesting. Wondering if this is still made in Croatia like the other XDs or if its American made.
It’s up on the official website:
I’m failing to see anything that fits the description of “game changing” or “reinvented.” Also, WHY are they so committed to that GRIP ZONE ridiculousness? Yawn. Forever yawn.
Well, the XD bore axis is so high, might as well put a hammer on it! 
EDIT: I actually really like this. Since the end of the Smith & Wesson 3913/14 and 908 value series there hasn’t been a viable single stack 9 DA/SA compact on the market that I am aware of.
The sad part, it is the exact same height as a Glock 19. Though at only 1" wide would hide well.
I wonder if you could do a grip-chop and feed it with XDs mags.
