In this Springfield Armory XD Mod.3 review, I received the gun as a loaner from the company to review. No agreement for a positive review was made or requested. All other items shown in the photos are personally owned by me.
The new Springfield Armory XD Mod.3 9mm pistol caught me off guard. The original XD line has been around for more than 20 years and remains in the company’s inventory. While Springfield Armory did sell a Mod.2 for a while, then the XD-M and XD-M Elite, I had figured the company was focusing future development energy into the Springfield Echelon line.
