We all love our hs/XD models that's for sure. With that said, what don't you like about them?
For me it's the rust paranoia!! I haven't had any signs yet, but I catch myself wping them down all the time. It also seems to me that the finish does scratch a bit easier than some of my more well worn firearms.
Other than that i'm pretty happy.

What about you?

I don't like the fact that mine is broken and I need to get some money together to send it back for warranty repair and now I can't buy my tac light. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I hate the way mine follows me around like a little puppy dog. It goes everywhere I go. I hate the way it eats cheap ammo too. It loves that stuff. And I really hate the way it barks so loud. I have to wear hearing protection it barks so loud. But what I hate the most is it's dependability. It never let's me down. Boy it feels good to get all that hate out of my system. I feel better now.

reach to the trigger is too short--I have big hands, and would like a longer trigger reach. The finish keeps me paranoid, now I'm paranoid about Ranger's locking block problem.

But darned if that thing doesn't go bang every time!

Your kidding right.... They will pay for the shipping. Usually they will give you their FEDEX account # to send it in on their coin. OR they will give you a reimbursement check for the ammount it cost you to ship it to them.

I don't like the stock finish. I also don't like that you cannot get upgrade parts for the trigger. On that note I don't like that you can no longer get factory replacement parts. But oh well, such is life.

I returnd a magazine that never "dropped free" for me while the other one would. They gave me their account# to ship it back to them on their coin, and I got a new one. This was a week ago.

Since a firearm costs around oh 50$ to ship Over Night Fedex, they should pay for it if its a factory defect. If they didnt cover shipping at all, then you could be out a 100 bucks for something that came defective from the factory.

Any "decent" firearm company shouldnt have too much of a problem covering shipping for a factory defect.

Up until this point, no complaints here.......

Like many of you, I did my homework on the XD series well before I made the decision to puchase, so I was pretty well informed by the time I got my hands on the 2 I have now. I was completely aware of other owner's experiences with rust, guide rods & springs, etc., and I already knew what type of work I was going to have done, what upgrades I was going to purchase and how much that would all cost me. If I had a problem with any of that, I simply would not have bought one. That being said, I honestly feel I got what I paid for...which was a couple of very nice pistols. Dude, XD's freakin rock :!: :D :D :D
