+1 on clipping springs.
If it's that much of a problem call Springfield.

The ambi release on the 21SF isn't getting the best reviews! It takes quite a push to release the magazine, although my XD9 was difficult to manipulate for awhile until it broke in.

I understand everything you said below, however, I'm curious about the locking block. On my Glocks, the locking blocks are removable; are you saying they aren't very solid? I've been shooting Glocks for 15-years and I've never had a single issue with a locking block in any caliber...including my G32 which had a punishing recoil. ('Had' -- I sold it because I went broke shooting it)

Regarding the manual safety, despite owning Glocks, Kahrs, XD, (and previously most of the German varieties), I am interested in the XD45 with the manual safety.

The locking block has the rails in it, which is nice if you need to work on it.

Mines a tac 40. I checked it again last night: the trigger is metal, but the little safety lever in the middle is black plastic. Very easy to scrape off material with a blade edge.

I sit corrected!, I took a very close look at my .45 service and lo and behold that little safety dealie is plastic! Mine apologies kind sir!

Great, I'm going to fix that little problem on my XD45c right now!! The XD9 was fine but the 45 had a mountain ridge for the safety lever.

Completely removed the safety piece last week and I like the trigger much better now! No little spring squeek and the resulting trigger now has a nice little ridge in it now which gives your finger a nice groove to rest in. Easily done...pop out pin in trigger and the whole thing falls out.
