What happened to external safety?

[Fitz]

Todd was very convincing

More than I was apparently

I've owned an XD40, a 45 full size, and now the XD-S. I love them. If she wanted to carry an XD, i'd be totally fine with that.

She's pretty hung up on an external safety. I seem to recall XD-M's having a manual safety? But i see nothing about it on the website.

Nope.  One model of XD45 has a thumb safety.

Nope.  One model of XD45 has a thumb safety.

Now I remember. It was because of the bid they put in for replacing the m9 for the army

Ah.  I just sold the neighbors on getting an XD/XDM-9 compact.  Weird, never asked about firearms before, and now are very interested.  They were like the third or fourth couple in the last week to ask for recommendations.  The population is arming itself.

[Fitz]

Good!

I love my XD9sc....when I get my CHL, it'll be my primary carry. And it's small & light enough that I don't have much need for a single-stack micro-9 or  .38Spl snub....

....but I'll probably get a snub anyway....I like snubs....
