I very much LIKE the looks of the Mod. 2 and think it's a good move by Springfield. The primary reason I'm not an XD owner was not addressed in my view, though; no optional thumb safety. I really honestly believe that the 4" .45 model with the thumb safety is the modern high-cap poly version of Browning's 1911 design, since it includes that option. If he saw the need for one back in the day, it's puzzling to me why Glock and XD think they are smarter than he was and can leave it off. It's something that you could use or not, too, which isn't really possible on the 1911, so why all the hostility towards those of us who would prefer to have it? I think new owners NEED it, personally, because many don't train like they should and it's another way to help them avoid a self-shooting or a.d.

 

Bueller?

 

I have a Mod2 .40 & have shot about 750 rds thru it with no issues whatsoever.

 

Thank you. What ammunition have you shot through it?

 

Mostly Federal American Eagle and Magtech FMJ rounds. I also put a handful of Federal HST through it too.
