![]() This baby just keeps on running, and that’s what I love about it. It’s got tens of thousands of rounds through it, and I am just now looking at replacing the recoil spring. I haven’t had a single problem with it yet. I have been shooting my pink XD(m) for about 4 years now for competitions, training, and concealed carry. Overall, I spent about $1,200 on the gun and customizations. I am a firm believer that I will fight like I train, which is why I did not put an extended magazine release on it, or do any of the other competitive customizations. It improved both my speed and my accuracy. This made a huge difference with double-taps, failure-to-stop drills, and shooting in general. Scott smoothed out the trigger, and lightened the reset. What I consider to be the most important customization that was done was the combat-carry trigger job. This makes for super bright sights, day or night. A fiber optic is then placed in front of the tritium pellet to catch any daylight, ambient light, or even the glow off the tritium. The tritium glows in the dark without being charged by light, and can last up to about ten years. They are designed with a tritium pellet that sits in behind the fiber optic (as you’re holding the gun and looking down the sights). The newest addition to Springfield Armory’s new color variations is the XD-S Mod.2 9mm, which will be offered in Desert FDE, Tactical Gray/Black, and Stainless. Scott switched out all standard three dot sights with green tritium fiber optic sights (TFOs). I wanted to make sure that I had some good sights that were easy to acquire and glowed night or day. In South Western Washington, the days can be pretty dark and dreary. This keeps me from accidentally shooting my expensive bonded hollow points for recreational purposes. I left one of my floor-plates black and use it strictly for defensive ammunition. Thank you for choosing Springfield Armory Mitch Customer Service Representative Springfield, Inc. Officially, we do not recommend shooting it, but if you're not using it on a regular basis, it will be fine. Scott used several layers of duracoat to paint my frame and three of my magazine floor-plates the right shade of pink. The Springfield XD 9mm is not rated for +P+ ammunition. Right after I bought it, and before I shot it, I sent my new XD(m) to Scott Springer at Springer Precision in Bend, OR to have some work done. I bought it with the standard black polymer frame, the black melonite finish on the top end, a 5.5 -7.7 lb. empty yet features a class-leading capacity of 11 rounds with flush-fitting magazine. The 3'-barreled pistol measures a mere 1' wide and weighs just 18.3 oz. Springfield does not produce any of their guns in pink. The Hellcat is the highest capacity micro-compact 9mm in the world. Seeing as how I already owned a few XDs, I naturally fell in love with the XD (m) and it was comforting to stay with the same platform. I knew that I wanted a striker fired handgun with a high magazine capacity, a grip safety, the standard 1911 grip angle, and in a 9mm. When I decided that I wanted a pink gun, I started by choosing the gun that I loved. The “Pink Gun of Shame” is a Springfield XD(m) 4.5 inch, 9mm. 380, and it is most certainly not any sort of toy. The “Pink Gun of Shame” is not a sig mosquito, it is not a. ![]() It’s time that I set the record straight. ![]()
