I recently got a XDM-45 4.5 Fiber Optic to go with my original HS2000 and XD-45 Service Model. I noticed on SA's website, they no longer have any .40 S&W models. All the Mod. 2 guns are no longer listed except for the single stack. The XDMs are limited to 10mm and .45 ACP except for the super fancy tricked out models and they're only in 9mm and the compact XDMs are gone except for the 9mm models too and they're now listed under the fancy tricked out models. Lastly, the original HS2000/XD is only in 9mm. No .45 ACP full size or compact in the original model. It seems to me that SA is really starting to cut down on the XD and XDM models that they carried. Which kinda sucks because I'd like to find a Mod. 2 XD-45 5" model like this...  But without the Grip Zone marking like on this compact.  Did you guys import a Mod. 2 XD-45 5" without the grip zone markings? |

Yep, they really thinned the herd around this time last year. They were pretty quiet about it, but the reasoning I saw given on social media was due to poor sales. In all fairness there was a lot of overlap in products it seemed. I got lucky and was able to snag a 3.3 Mod. 2 subcompact in .45 for a song at $350 OTD. Branding aside, the Mod. 2 frame is super comfy, like you I would really like to add a 4.5 or 5" fullsize framed gun to the collection with the Mod. 2 frame. I may end up trading up my OG XDS to a Mod. 2 as well. |
If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line...but it better work this time.

If you're looking to scratch your Mod.2 itch, it appears PSA stumbled across some old stock somewhere: XD Mod. 2 4" .45 I just picked up a used 9MM fullsize 4", but I'm tempted to grab one of these to go along with my subcompact Mod. 2 in. 45. |
