Springfield doesn't manufacture the XD series. They're made in Croatia.

Pick one. But to answer your question handgun design peaked with the 1911 so we kinda just gave up after that.

>>32579579
I almost bought one of these one day but didn't for the single reason it said grip zone on it. Yes, I'm serious.

>WHAT does the 'X' stand for???
The guns croation name that was stolen from it by the white man.

>>32579943
I just bought a vtac M&P and traded it away after less than a day. Total garbage gun. It doesn't shoot for shit.
I was really excited about it too because I liked the sights and the color and thought it was a good looking gun that would shoot well, nope.

>>32580489
Not really. He was contracted to design the Hi Power and had to work around patents. He died well before the final design was approved. Calling it a Browning design is a stretch.

>>32579579
No just people like you op.

>>32580489
JMB was forced to design around the patents Colt held and FNH didn't. And then Saive played around with it.

Unfortunately we don't have any idea what Browning's ideal pistol would have looked like due to IP issues and his death.

Is the feed ramp polished? First thing I do when I buy a new hand gun is polish the feed ramp to a mirror finish. No problems with feed stoppages after doing that.

>>32581782
No but it stopped doing it.
>rounds 1 through 20 = 3 FTF
>rounds 21 through 100 = 0 malfunctions
The bigger concern was that I couldn't shoot the gun well. Neither could the 2 range officers.
In less than 24 hours after buying it, I traded it in on a CZ; much better gun.

>>32581831

I prefer CZ's as well. The 75 stock trigger pull is looong (only complaint really).

If you have to polish the feed ramp on a new gun then there is something wrong with it.

>>32581856
Are there trigger kits for those to take out the travel?

I shot a 75B for the first time the other day and I loved everything about except for the travel the trigger had. There wasn't much creep and it broke clean but man that travel fucked my shit up. I hadn't shot a handgun in years and almost all of my handgun experience has been with revolvers and my grandfather's match 1911 so I had all the wrong habits.
