What’s Great about the XD Mod.3 OSP 9mm? A Word from Springfield Armory
I have already expounded on why the XD Mod.3 OSP 9mm from Springfield Armory is assuredly going to be a hit amongst hunters and shooters alike. So, let’s hear what Springfield has to say on their newest handgun:
The platform that set the standard for feature-rich striker-fired handguns remains a top choice for shooters worldwide. The XD® Mod.3 OSP
features a factory-milled slide designed to accommodate today’s most popular optics, enhancing accuracy. Its aggressively textured frame ensures superior control, while the improved serrations on the hammer-forged slide provide a reliable grip in adverse conditions. The combination of a passive grip safety, tactile loaded chamber indicator and striker-status indicator add an extra layer of security. Additionally, the flat-face trigger delivers a consistent pull, with a defined wall and clean break. The XD Mod.3 ships with a 16-round stainless steel magazine.
Understanding that Springfield is marketing this pistol so affordably, I imagine that they are going to sell pallets of them. It is rare to see a handgun south of $300 from an American manufacturer that you would actually trust. So, I am definitely interested to get one of these in my hands to shoot soon. As always, let us know all of your thoughts about the XD Mod.3 OSP 9mm and Springfield Armory in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
