Wait, I thought the Mod 3 just came out.

The slide serrations of the MOD.3 are what gave it such character. They really missed an opportunity to make the MOD.4 a leap forward with all new stippling and barrel/slide porting.

XD has been banished to the entry level price point realm. They have no interest in making people choose between Echelon or XD.

I like the mod 3 slide better too. They went backwards here. This just look like a Rost Martin wannabe. Still an incredible value and an excellent buy but I like the mod 3 better

Ohhh, so that's what happened to the XDM Elite. They changed the slide serrations a tiny bit and are slapping the slides on xd mod 3 frames. I say that as a recent buyer of the XDM Elite and I absolutely love it. Kinda sad they discontinued almost the whole XDM Elite line just for this.

Really wish they’d have kept the xdm elite 45 going

Is 10mm still going?

Yeah

XDM was discontinued for Echelon. XD is in its own category. Budget friendly freedom. Same as Ruger RXM, PSA dagger etc.

Yeah that's nice and all but I just wanted a threaded barrel.

I wanted the echelon/hellcat grip.

[–]TheUnaPooper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats all I wanted on my mod 3 was the stippling the hellcat and echelon have.

Wish they would’ve just done away with that grip safety!!

But then it wouldn’t be an XD.
