All XD-S pistols that haven't been back to their mothership for the grip safety pinning now have been officially served with a recall notice. We received letters from Springfield for several pre-modified XD-S pistols that we bought direct...several YEARS ago, I might add...and as of now are long since gone from our bound book. It would seem that this handful have never made the trip back to Springfield for the safety update. Hmm...sounds familiar regarding a certain XD-S I once owned...

My guess is that the turmoil with SIG and its 320 as well as Canik and their various TP9s have caused Springfield and their liability attorneys to have a change of heart regarding the slam fire/double fire issue that long mileage, tired XD-S test guns experienced. So no longer is it a voluntary fix.
