![]() ![]() I used my Lyman Electronic Digital Trigger Pull Gauge and averaged readings to measure the press. Closely related to that is the handgun’s trigger, so I focused on it and its characteristics and control. Let me say up front that for me for ANY gun, ACCURACY and RELIABILITY are most important. Remember, the gold standard is for you to actually shoot and handle the gun and learn your accuracy with it and things about it, like I did. So recognize that I did not shoot that many rounds. One caveat we all recognize is that ANY gun should be “ broken-in” with about 400-500 rounds or so fired for a better evaluation of its performance. You should know that Springfield is not paying me for my review or opinions nor for my ammo, so I am not on their payroll for any reason. Springfield Armory XD-9 Handgun Range TestĪt the range, I shot about 150 rounds of various FMJ and HP ammo of 115 and 124 grain weights at close-up distances of 5, 7, and 10 yards. 2 are like the original XD version and include a grip safety and trigger safety, along with a striker-status indicator and loaded chamber indicator. The Safeties of the Springfield Armory XD-9 Handgun Mod. Springfield Armory XD-9 Handgun Safety Features 2 Sub-Compact maintains compatibility with original XD magazines and holsters. While many dimensional changes were applied to the new design, the XD Mod. Other changes to the frame include a rounded trigger guard and a slim-contoured disassembly lever. Overall, its 1.19 inch grip width measures one tenth of an inch thinner than the original XD Sub-Compact. In addition to the Grip Zone texture treatments, Springfield has also re-contoured the grip and reduced the frame’s circumference. What about for you? Advanced Grip Zone Textures ![]() With the softer texture of the Grip Zone versus the XD, combined with the less aggressive stippling and finger grooves on the Mod.2’s grip, make the new XD a little more comfortable for me. The re-contoured grip allows this and could result in less hand fatigue. You can also notice that the Mod.2 has a deeper curve at the top of the grip, so you naturally place your hand higher onto the grip for improved control when shooting. The sincere idea of the ergonomic grip improvements at 3 locations is to give shooters more traction on the different grip surfaces, while applying less force on the frame. You decide if this is just a gimmick or not. So shooters could tend to have more traction that varies by the location of the frame’s grip surfaces. There are three different textures of grip material which are molded into specific parts of the grip (3 Zones) where slip-resistance and various degrees of friction contact are most critical. 2 is designed to improve the shooter’s grip experience with the “ Grip Zone.” This is certainly understandable and necessary, but wonder why they wrote the obvious term “ Grip Zone” molded into the grip? Springfield defines the “ Grip Zone” as every surface on the frame that makes contact with your hand. The new Springfield Armory XD-9 Handgun Mod.

Springfield’s Mod.2’s redesign goal is to place the shooter’s hand up higher in the grip for better control during shooting and with a grip texture that is softer and more comfortable to hold in 3 areas. The Mod.2 version of it has some grip redesigns, among other features. This sub-compact Springfield Armory XD-9 Handgun is a striker-fired, semi-auto pistol that comes in 9 mm and. Well, Springfield Armory recognizes this and has introduced an integrative grip concept with a very good stipling for a positive grip. Certain areas of the gun should fit snugly around your fingers and other places should be a little more relaxed.Ī comfortable and adhesive grip with just the right amount of texture stippling that does not irritate the hand is usually desired. The handgun’s grip should allow you to grasp it high on the backstrap, so you can have a secure and firm hold on the gun so it does not slip out of your hand and so that you can control recoil and muzzle flip. ![]()
