Between this and the budget priced Walther Creed, and they purposefully trying to create pistols with extremely high bore axes?

 

[karlvv]

I love springers, but I'll wait until they offer it in a 45. I might buy one for my daughters though.

DA, high bore axis, grip zone, hammer fired with a safety, looks like a PF9. Not interested at any price.

My thoughts too. I plan to get check it out at the show today either way though

 

[fyroc]

That hammer would hurt for the way I carry.

 

[Trading Place Range]

It just feels like another letdown. I was hyped for the Saint, but then it was an AR...
meh.

 

[Hoss]

I can't believe they still put Grip Zone on their guns.

It pulls in the roto molded cooler crowd.

Like every other xd the high bore axis kills it for me.

Myth. If y'all didn't have baby hands it wouldn't bother you.

100%...same with Sigs. If their P series duty guns had a proper bore axis like the P210, I'd be all over them. Damn I want a 210.

Hand size has nothing to do with the height of the bore axis.

It does have an affect on how you control high bore axis. I'll call you trump hands.

Pfft. It doesn't matter. Jerry Miculek would have a tougher time controlling a gun with a high bore axis pistol than one with a lower bore axis. There's just no benefit to a super high slide.

Why is it that every time I see people complaining about high bore axis, they turn out to be Glock fanboys, who just end up buying another Glock anyways?

I don't own a Glock.

I got to handle one today. I don't care for DA/SA and I really don't care for the XD series. That said, I didn't totally hate this one. I wouldn't buy one for myself, but it felt good in my hand and the trigger was better than I expected

You don't have to buy one for yourself. You can buy one for me.
