Got email from SA last night. Said they did indeed start sending units back last Friday the 18th. Said that they are upgrading and returning them in order received. Said they got a ton back the first 3-4 days and that group should all be in route home by Nov 1. They will send another email out then to update. Did not address mine individually so was just a blast notice. I assumed that meant mine was not in initial batch and would be after Nov 1 before they got to mine. Since over 185000 weapons involved, figured would be awhile. Hopefully some of you were in the first bunch. Did not mention free mag. But imagine they like surprises and just hedging against maybe running out of freebies and have to send later. Really suck to announce then not be able to follow through. Be a tough PR pickle especially after the recall.
Oh well, we shall see.

You might get it back before turkey day... you might get it back before Christmas... The way they handled this it ain't likely they will see anymore business from me.

Email yesterday said if weapon received on or before Sept 10th, will be shipped back by Thanksgiving. If between Sept 11-30, by Christmas.
I feel just the opposite regarding the Recall/Upgrade. Considering there were over 185,000 affected weapons, I give SA a thumbs UP. Strengthens my loyalty to them, their quality, and their commitment to service.
Crap happens.... They did well in my book when it did.
I've owned three of them and still own two. I put 9 thousand rounds through the 9MM without a hiccup. Sold it to buy the 45 cal tac. May think about trading or selling the tac for something else but that's just a thought. Thought it kind of sad that Springfield hustled everyone to get their guns in (without a fix even found yet ) just so Springfield could keep themselves out of a lawsuit.
Sent mine in August 31st, Hope to have it back soon. Scheduled to take training in Concealed carry classes Nov.16th and 17th. Would have liked to Qualify with it, but probably will have to use another gun.

Had an XD 45 Tactical as well. Great weapon for a sidearm (the "Tactical" label is quite fitting) but double-stacks don't make the best large caliber CCW's. Still, wish I would have kept it as well.
On the recall, Yep, it's a pain and inconvenient and I don't like being without it either but,,,
IF the issue existing was real-I believe it was then they did what they HAD to do both for liability and as an Ethical Manufacturer of weapons with a Moral obligation to their Clients and the population in general. I got absolutely NO problem whatsoever putting one or several rounds in anyone that deserves it and/or any situation where lethal force is due and warranted.
However, causing physical harm, maiming, or death to anyone due to a spontaneous unexpected/unintended discharge upon clambering of a round,,,, THAT I would rather not have to live with. Neither would the victim.
Recall a pain? Inconvenient? Frustrating? Absolutely. But, definitely one I can accept and live with a helluva lot better than the alternative. I ain't preaching to the Choir or tsk tsk'ing anybody. Just saying.... Put in proper perspective it's not a big deal at all.

I'm happy they are taking care of it, I don't think any less of the company. I've dealt with many recalls in my life since owning Harley Davidson's:Angel:. I know I will be glad to get it back since I have grown fond of carrying it, its my go to CCW weapon.
Went out today to find my replacement for the XDS. Took my Walther PPK in .380, Para Ordinance PDA in .45 Auto, and a nine shot Taurus in .22 for fun. Going out to the country to shoot, I remembered My .40 Sig 229 and my .357 Rossi with 6 in. barrel and my Berretta 92F in 9mil. should have went with me.
The PDA won the first round with better sites and ease of trigger pull. Rain in the forecast for the next three days so probably will have to do the others later in the week. Miss my XDS.

Me too Brother!
Have to carry a .22 mag as my sidearm Deer hunting Saturday Opening morning...
Just won't feel the same. Will work but just not the right weapon ya know.
Congratulations msocko3. Still waiting on mine. Sent mine in on Aug.31st. Hope to get it soon. Would have liked to use it on Illinois concealed carry mandatory training the 16th and 17th, but I don't think that will happen.

Got my shipping notice a little while ago. Says delivery on Thursday. Packing list didn't show any free magazine. Have to shoot it on Friday so I can take it to concealed carry class on the weekend.pepper
P.S. Found packing list and it does have a magazine.

Went by Cabela's today looking for a .40 or .45. At least three people asked about the XDS while I was there. Cabela's had to send every one of theirs back. Thinking now I'll just stick with the .380 and hope I never have cause to throw down on someone.

Glad it will make it back in time for your CCW training.
In the grand scheme, just a little hiccup. Don't regret the decision or the ownership of my XDs in the least. Actually, after having seen and been through this type deal, even more happy with my decision on SA (again) and the XDs. Said before, Crap Happens. It Will... When it does, it's the Solution (and enaction thereof) that counts and speaks for the experience and defines the day. Not the Issue/Crap itself. To me anyway. Doesn't affect what the XDs is in any way. It was/is an awesome Weapon in all regards and by any measure. In hindsight when all is said and done, wouldn't change a thing or decide any differently.
Now,,, Where the hell is my return notification email !!!!
just joking

That's cool but after owning three XD's and still owning two I'll probably look elsewhere for any next purchase. Sometimes change is a good thing.
Got the XDS back this morning. Going to go test it this afternoon. Spreading your money around is good for the economy. The bad thing is don't have much to spread around. Bullet has the right idea. Never hurts to try something else.

Got mine today. Since I didn't mail mine to them in the gun case (bubble wrapped mine) they send it back in a single pistol case. Got the extended mag also... don't care for it AT ALLLLL. :gah:
I got the pistol for it's size. The extended mag will pinch your ring finger and it just feels weird. Hope you guys like yours.
