I agree - I get a little anxious waiting for a gun to be returned but I also have other guns I can shoot. I have a different type of pain coming up in December with a knee replacement so I'll shoot the XDM till then and send it in for repairs while I'm recovering.
Thanks again everyone.
Appreciate the quick replies!
The rest of the slide looks great - the subdued OD Green finish is what I liked most about the gun.
The frame looks normal but I have noticed that the slide lock/release tangs look like they have some shiny wear points - see pic. I assume this is the only point...
Purchased my 10mm EXM Elite with the Magpul OD Green finish on the slide this summer and after 100 rounds I noticed the finish on the slide was starting to chip on both sides of the rails - see pics. I contacted Springfield and was asked to send it in to have the slide refinished. Four weeks...
