Played with an XDe pistol
I handled one
It comes with a hammer! (Special edition)
The trigger is TOTALLY different than my other XDs which I tried to compare it to but it's not even remotely similar. The trigger itself feels good; wide and smooth and the single action pull was smooth but the travel was longer than I expected. Double what I thought it would be. Pull weight felt high 5/low 6lbs.
It has a decocker integrated with the thumb safety
The slide/recoil spring was much easier to pull to the rear/lock than my other two
It pointed easily and felt good in my hand but looks like a retarded Hi Point / Sig baby

That's my thoughts as well, looking at your photos. It looks like a Hi Point.
Seems like Springfield still has a ways to go. Then again it might be a sweet shooter, despite the looks.

I see the Springfield Armory armorer kit includes a claw hammer. Nice.

Last few years springfields pistols have become meh to me...
I've tried a few xds,FS 9 & 45 models
The triggers, bulky ness , ergos just don't do, some of there 1911 offerings look better..

it looks pretty ambi, and that's a plus for me. I really like my XDm, but I also really like hammer fired pistols like the FNX, but is too big for my liking. If they make a full size, I'd be more interested.

I guess I'm in the minority on Springfield. Several years ago I bought a 4.5" XD(m) and liked it enough to get a 3.8" compact XD(m). I find them to handle somewhat differently, but like both better than any other out-of-the-box polymer pistol. The 4.5" is even better after a bit of fidgeting.
The 5" 1911 Loaded I have is also rock solid - though I might choose something without a Parkerized finish if purchasing now.
But all three get reasonable use and I have no cause to complain.

This is a pretty good example of gun Industry derp.
Some company dangles a carrot and everyone goes off the rails. Like this isn't an XD with a horrible track record, and that there aren't better, more vetted options out there. (43...)
By the way, before anyone wants to rebuke, everyone went apeshit over the M&P then it came out that there serious accuracy issues.

Springfield hired Discovery Channel's marketing team. If the Saint doesnt make that obvious, go back to sleep.
