I really like my Springfields, but damn that thing really is ugly. Looks just like a Hi point.

I like my XDS and XDMs, but that is hideous. It looks like the mutant hybrid child of a Sig and a Glock with CZ safety. The radius on that grip looks like it was geared to maintain a high bore axis. My only thought is why?

I agree, I just cannot seem to get used to the grip safety on Springfield handguns so I do not have one in my collection. I know that they are very highly rated but they just don't work for me.

Is it just me or does it seem like they borrowed heavily from Hi-point with that slide design...

It just looks like a hammer fired xds. Hipoint? Not at all. I've never noticed the grip safety on my xdm.

Ditto. Wouldn't know it was there unless looking for it.

Never make a pretty gun your carry

It may be ugly or a copy to some that does not diminish my desire to try one.

So apparently they are trying to market a pistol to luddites who want a hammer and thumb safety, but don't care how a pistol looks, or how big the stupid "GRIP ZONE" banner is

Had the same thought. The slide is just massive.

So it's basically an XDS converted to hammer fired DA/SA with a thumb safety, and doused with all the terrible looks of the mod 2 XD series.

Next from Springfield:

"The Ramrod REINVENTED"
