Purchased an XDS Mod2 45acp this weekend and started doing some research prior. Finally ended up today on Springfield’s site and accordingly it is listed as No Longer Available........The entire XD-S line of guns. Only the xd-e is still being listed.
Anyone know anything About this?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Stroonz,
Our Springfield rep told us a couple of months ago that the entire XDS line was going to be nuked. If any are still showing up on the company's website, it's probably because there's still some inventory left for dealers and distributors to order. But given how the already diminutive Hellcat has sold and plainly dominates the company's XD division of products, I can't think of any real reasons beyond Springfield suddenly offering a cut-rate price that any dealer would bother bringing more into a shop's inventory. Unsold Shield 2.0s is already a thing thanks to the impact of the Shield+; that cautionary tale alone should make most gun shops wary of bringing single stacks from a company that offers a double-stack that so clearly hogs all of the limelight in the micro subcompact 9 market.
And yeah we're one of those shops that's stuck with a shitload of non-moving Shield 2.0s in a variety of flavors, all thanks to the fast-moving Shield+.
