(I still snicker whenever I see that "Grip Zone" marking on these new XD models, though. I always want to say "Thanks! I was wondering where to grab it!")
I know - but I don't care much about the "Grip Zone" text. It' actually very grippy. I always put a rubber grip on polymer guns - this is the first one I don't need to
Well, I sold it. I shot it - but I found I prefer the doublestack P2000sk 9mm I have. The XDe is actually the same size as the P2000sk, just a tiny bit thinner.
Maybe it was the thinner frame - but I found I had to work too hard to hit the center of the target,. The gun was accurate - so, it's not the gun. I just find I don't have to put that much effort into shooting my HK.
Gun is actually same weight at the P2000sk as well. And, I have a 10 round mag in the P2000sk compared to the XDe 8 round magazine (flush mag). In the fornt pocket of my cargo pants - both guns printed about the same. Decided the XDe wasn't for me. I knew I'd never actually carry it in favor of my HK P2000sk.
Nothing against Springfield here, but I keep asking myself this: "Why make such a gun hammer fired?" I guess I just don't see the reason, other than they can do it and had not much else to do at the time.
I have owned a couple of the XD pistols in the past, and they were great guns, but I don't think I would have liked the ones I had, hammer fired. JMHO.
