Discontinued Springfield Model You Miss Most

[wmg1299]

The first Springfield pistol I ever owned was a 4" .45 acp XD Mod.2 that I picked up on an insane deal when Springfield discontinued the Mod.2 line. I love that gun and still miss the Mod.2 line. Springfield's website now shows that they have discontinued a few more pistol lines.

I was never a fan of the XDE models, but I'm going to miss the 911 line. I bought a .380 911 Alpha a few ears back (I'm a sucker for a good sale). I really liked the Alpha and I always intended to pick up a full-featured black/green 911. Are there any of the discontinued models that other forum members wish you had picked up before they were gone?

I only own 2 SA products and both are XDM 5.25" precision in 10mm and 40S&W. Both I think are discontinued? I like the 10 and my oldest son likes the 40. We agree at least on the same caliber! Just wish I could add an optic without using the pic rail in front of the trigger. The mags on both are great!

Have you looked into this as an alternative option for mounting an optic?

This thread got me reading about previous products.

Now I am probably the last to know this but I just read that Springfield Armory Inc. Has nothing historically to do with the original historical Springfield Armory of military issued weapons fame except the name.

It started as LH Manufacturing in texas and made the original civilian M1A, then was sold to the Reese family of Illinois in the 1970s. And this grew into what we know today.

Never looked into it, I guess I just always assumed there was some type of link along the way.

Don’t recall that at all ! Looks a bit dated - what years ?

My one gun shop had these when they first came out and I didn’t get one, bought a S&W revolver instead…

Now I need too figure out how it's mounted without milling or pic. I'll further research it, thanks!

what i wonder is...

from the time any of you (and me) started this sport, hobby, collection, had we been able to buy every gun that we wanted, and had we kept every gun we ever bought, how much money do you realistically think you'd have invested in all those guns alone...??

do not include ammo purchases, and do not include reloading equipment and components...

just the guns in of themselves...

and realistically, either how much room (size of the room) or safes would you need to keep all those guns..???

$300-400K easily if I got what I wanted to buy last 25 years
Prob would need a whole room.

But, as it is, I got married and spent 1000000000000000000x that on “stuff” for the house and isnt that cute, oh and lets go to see this state, and ooooohhhh look at that shiny bling, and the kids need new shoes, and what about college savings …. And , and , and …..

Remove the rear sight and slide in the new mounting plate and it's mounted.
