I was just looking at it and need too remove the roll pin in the front if I can (should be able to). I've been searching for a mount, so thanks again for the link!

I'd have to agree with the OP...the Mod. 2 frame was fantastic.
My first was a subcompact in .45 that I picked up for under $400 when the lineup was discontinued. I could have purchased a fullsize 4" for the same money and really wished I did.
I ended up finding a decent deal on a lightly used 4" in 9MM with a PRP trigger and stainless slide a couple years later and its been an awesome gun as well.

I would say the 4" Service model .45 XD Mod 2 as well, but I can't really miss it since I have it.

I had to hunt to find my other XD Mod.2's as well. I was able to find a new 4" 9mm model with a grey frame online. It wasn't my first choice, but I liked the Mod.2's grip enough that I was willing to overlook the color. The .45 is still my favorite, but the 9mm is a great pistol.

Although every one of the guns discontinued I had owned at one time and no longer do, “except for one” I have no regrets since what I currently own are what I learned I shoot the best and fit my needs.

It was called the Compact Tactical.
They are still out there, just takes some looking.

When you're in the business of making 1911s there's only so much a manufacturer can do to make the product look fresh.
SA has a history of making a model line then replacing it with another that's almost the same as the discontinued line, but with a new name. So then foks think it's something new when all that's changed are some minor feature(s) and/or cosmetics.
Other manufacturers just keep making certain model(s) vs. making minscule changes & coming up with a new name.
SA knew they had to add some diversity to their handgun line so they added the XD line which has been a big boost for them for along time now.
I give them an "A" for effort with the SA-35, but their execution of it has been problematic.
