So when did this happen? There isn't even a 5 inch model anymore.

I'd say it would be impossible for them to be sold out everywhere. I'd love to see blowout pricing ($250 or lower) on them. The grip is so ergonomic!

Looking at the website it appears the standard XD-M is no longer available in 9mm, but they're now selling the 9mm as part of the "XD-M Elite" line. Apparently has an upgraded trigger and mag well?

I wanted the .45 sub compact and I was pissed when I found out they discontinued it.
 Give the customers what they want! |

I think it was a bad move for them to do this. Doesn't help that a lot of gun owners have a dislike for them for the crap they pulled some few years ago.

Yeah the Mod. 2 frame was dropped late 2019 I believe. The only way to get it now is in an XDS or XDE.
I picked up a subcompact Mod. 2 in .45 late last year for a steal, brand new for $350. Wish I had known they were discontinued at the time, I could have picked up a fullsize for the same price. ETA: Reasoning I saw from a response on their social media page was due to poor sales. |

I know I saw tons of people making fun of the "grip zone" verbage on the grip, but why not just not put that on there? Personally I didn't care. Nobody sees my gun when I'm carrying. It looks like they're probably going to discontinue the original XD also. Currently only selling the SC and full size in 9mm and calling it the "legacy defender". Makes me worried if I'll be able to get support in the future?

I wouldn't worry about support, there several places to get all the parts without dealing with Springfield. Plenty of haters always trumpeting there is no spare parts which is not correct. |

The Grip Zine was a dumb idea from the start, but thet did eventually drop it. |

The XD Mod2 was a double stack and the XDS and XDE are single stacks. I dont know what the hell goes through their minds at SAI. When the XD Mod2 came out they should have dropped the first gen gun. But they rolled out the XD Defender at a lower price. They dropped the XDm sub compact just when everyone was bringing out subcompact double stacks. They had 3 different lines of double stacks, then rolled out a 4th with the XDm Elite. They were eventually going to have to prune the tree. |

Has one flush fitting 9 round mag and came with a fullsize 13 round mag w/grip extension sleeve. I have an OG/Mod. 0 XDS, so I'm aware of the difference. |
