Introduction
As an avid shooter, I was thrilled to get my hands on the Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact 9mm 10-Round Magazine. With its sleek design, reliable performance, and user-friendly features, I was excited to put it to the test. In this review, I’ll share my experience with this product, highlighting its pros and cons, and provide you with a comprehensive overview of this exceptional magazine.
Physical Characteristics
The magazine is designed to complement the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact pistol, with a length of 6.5 inches and a width of 1.14 inches. It’s crafted from durable steel and features a matte black finish, making it a great addition to any shooting setup. The magazine has a rounded body and a contoured grip, ensuring a secure fit in the gun and comfortable handling.
Performance
I was impressed with the magazine’s performance, loading smoothly and easily into the gun. The interchangeability with the standard 9mm 10-round magazines is seamless. When running through a variety of ammo, the magazine performed consistently, feeding and cycling without any issues. The recoil management system helps to further improve the reliability and reduced the likelihood of jamming.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
• Durable Construction: The magazine is built to last, with a sturdy steel construction and a matte black finish that resists corrosion and scratches.
• Easy to Load: The magazine loads quickly and smoothly, making it ideal for quick swaps during high-pressure situations.
• Consistent Performance: The magazine performs consistently, feeding and cycling without issues, making it reliable for everyday carry or competitive shooting.
• Easy to Clean: The magazine is designed for easy cleaning, with a simple takedown and reassembly process.
• Affordable: The magazine is an affordable accessory, making it an excellent choice for those on a budget.
Cons:
• Limited Capacity: The 10-round capacity may be insufficient for some users, particularly those who prefer higher capacity magazines.
• No Ambi-Safety: The magazine does not feature an ambidextrous safety, which may be a concern for left-handed shooters.
• Some Users May Find It Bulky: The magazine’s dimensions may be a concern for those with smaller hands or those who prefer slimmer magazines.
Conclusion
The Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact 9mm 10-Round Magazine is an exceptional accessory for those who already own the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact pistol. With its durable construction, easy loading, and consistent performance, it’s a reliable choice for everyday carry or competitive shooting. While it may have some limitations, such as limited capacity and no ambidextrous safety, the magazine’s pros far outweigh its cons. If you’re in the market for a high-quality magazine, I highly recommend considering this one.
Rating: 4.5/5
Recommendation:
If you’re new to the world of shooting and looking for a reliable magazine, I recommend starting with the standard 10-round capacity. However, if you’re an experienced shooter who prefers higher capacity magazines, the XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact 15-Round Magazine may be a better fit for you.
