Springfield Armory - Rumor of Price Hikes - XDTalk Forums

Rumor of course. But it could be so,
considering the value of the USD and
it's purchasing power. It buys less O/S,
thus it would take more of the green-
backs to buy what we have bought in
the past.

Jason, any word about SA and price
hikes?

I will snoop around and see, but I haven't heard of anything immediately. The good thing about Springfield is that if they do go up it will be a small percentage and across the line of pistols to spread out the increase (not just the XD Series)

For example, most of the M1A'S went up around $25 prior to the end of the year but no one really noticed or had any issue with them. Had they been like some other companiesand just hiked the popular items, the Scout would have jumped $100.

They are good people, I will ask and see what they say

Springfied said they had no plans to raise prices, their next review of that policy would be end of June.

So, everyone is good for now

Second that, I better not wait any longer to get my xd40 sub

Absolutely possible. With the USD being worth significantly less than 10 years ago, I can certainly understand the rationale.

Most places have already hiked their prices in response to rising inflation. Kinda sucks because I'd like to get another XD, but maybe now I'll get that Sig 225 instead.
