Springfield Armory XD Mod.2, by Pat Cascio

Just a quick run down is in order on the new and improved XD Mod.2. The virtues have already been listed in numerous other articles, since everyone was fast to report on this gun. The thing that strikes me is the new, improved and slim frame. The second thing is the "Grip Zone" areas on the frame; there are three different textured areas on the grip, all subtle but all doing the job they were designed for, which is keeping the gun in your hand under recoil. There's a 3″ Bbl, and the gun comes with two magazines– one is the 13-rounder, and the other is an extended 16-rd mag with a sleeve on it. The XD Mod.2 is a double action only handgun. I love the two white dots on the rear sight and the red fiber optic (replaceable) with green on the front sight, and SA provides extra fiber optic rods. Springfield Armory XD Mod.2, by Pat Cascio survivalblog.com - Much has been written about this redefined little 9mm handgun from Springfield Armory– the XD Mod.2 since the first day it came on the scene. The gun is also available in .40 S&W, and by the time this article appears in print, it will also be available in .45ACP. I'll be the first to admit that when the first XD subcompact 9mm came out, I wasn't all that thrilled with it. It was too chunky to my way of thinking, and it just didn't feel right in my hand. I shot one but never bought one! Available on the App Store.
