I would at least go out and shoot it and check for any function issues before sending it in. That way if it does function correctly you have a point of reference in case their are issues post upgrade.I'd like to see them throw in an extended mag for the trouble.... Either way, I'll be waiting until I ship mine off. I haven't even got to shoot it yet.
Two years ago, my wife wasn't very supportive of having guns in the house let alone carry one. She and I have been working together for a year or more on education and training. She recently got her LTCH !!! She and I spent weeks looking and different EDC guns for her. She found the XDS 9 and we bought it. A week later we learned about the safety recall and sent it back.
I understand Springfield's position on getting them back and fixed (some day!!) and having safe firearms in the hands of their customers. The timing couldn't be worse. Now she and I need to start looking again and I'm afraid she's a little turned off the the whole idea again. Mostly I think it's the expense and time involved.
Two steps forward, one step back. Sigh
That's all fine, I understand they want their products to be safe, I agree. The way they are handling it is totally unacceptable. When a company lies to me and employs deceitful tactics then I cease to deal with them, that's a deal breaker and is unforgivable.
Me too!Very glad I didn't send mine in yet.
Just bought a new G-26 today and the guy at the shop said it will be 6 months before anybody sees their XDS's back. At least it well be like getting 2 new guns when I get them back.
I personally would be a little concerned about not sending it back. I am irritated it is taking so long and the way the company is handling it. However, I would be far more concerned about having a malfunction that hurt someone. I figure it will take some time for them to resolve the issue. I purchased a new Ruger because of that, but I believe that they will fix them and return them. At that point I will put a few hundred rounds through it and then start carrying it again.Me too!
Not trying to disagree, but how does he know how long it will take?
