Are bi tone (Stainless) XD's being discontinued?

I looked at a bi tone XD9 this weekend and really liked it. However, I overheard a guy at the gun shop commenting that there aren't going to be many of the stainless ones around because Springfield was discontinuing them.

Any truth to that?

Bitones really aren't stainless are they - isn't the stainless look just a finish?

As answered many times before they are stainless, it is not a finish. Call springfield they will tell you the same.

Good news that they aren't being discontinued. I called the local gun shop and they had a brand new stainless bi-tone in 9mm in stock with 2 hi caps and a case for $529.

$529...high? low? I have no idea what I should be paying.

$529 sounds a bit high, unless you live in CA or NJ or something.
