Steve Anderson Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 I got a chance to shoot the XD tonite. Very Impressive. I put 50 rds. thru a 9 in about 10 minutes. The front sight tracks right back in place beautifully, and the trigger is nice, light and smooth. With that price, and a 5 incher and ported models on the way...hhmmmmm. So my question is, in which matches or events is TGO using the XD? Anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyn Posted June 8, 2002 Share Posted June 8, 2002 Possibly IDPA SSP. I hope so, that will get him out of CDP and ESP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1b Posted June 9, 2002 Share Posted June 9, 2002 I've not talked to him so I don't know but . . . I believe it was ruled that the XD falls into ESP due to its hammer system. I wouldn't be surprised to see him shoot it in Lim-10 or ESP though (or SSP if legal). Its a great gun. Reliable, shootable, and pretty dang cool all around.

Bill Schwab Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 Rob told me he's shooting Production at the World Championship, but I didn't get a chance to ask him what gun he'll be shooting. Will it be an XD? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted June 10, 2002 Author Share Posted June 10, 2002 If it's a springfield, it has to be an XD doesn't it? DA first shot at least 5 lbs. for production... SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 For real ? Production ? Brian, you know something about that ? TGO is able to kick asses with anything that shoots anyway ! DVC Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 I have heard from a number of people in USPSA that the XD will not be allowed in production because the BATF, and Springfield itself, considers it a single action pistol. Anyone else heard that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted June 12, 2002 Author Share Posted June 12, 2002 It's on THE LIST for IPSC, I'll check USPSA tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 Who gives a big rats ass what the BATF and Springfield say? What do the RULES say? If THEY start making the rules beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZ Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 The only reason I mentioned it was because from what I was told, Springfield says the striker on the XD is not retracted and then released, like a GLOCK, but simply released, like a 1911 or a DA/SA gun in the single action mode, which would I guess tecnically make it a single action pistol. I'm all for letting it in production class, I would just hate to be the XD shooter at the Factory Nats. who ends up shooting minor L10 because I didn't know any better. I can't wait to check out one of the 5" models!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dowter Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 It's legal for IPSC production - http://www.ipsc.org/proddiv.htm This is a quote from John Amidon in an email that I recieved from him on Feb 8, 2002 on the topic. "The Springfield XD is a double action pistol on the first shot, even though it feels like a single action. It is no different from the Glocks on the market and legal in Production." I don't know about IDPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
