This time around, we take our sample Langdon XD-E Tactical Edition to the range.
Matching the Hype?
On my Lyman digital trigger pull gauge, test sample # HE940092 wentexactly8.00 pounds in double-action mode.
I found that single-action averaged 4.82 pounds.
The double-action pull is still long, but not heavy.
For comparison, my own out-of-the-box XD-E goes 10 pounds, plus.
The triggers return forward for follow-up shots is medium/long, but quick and easy to manage.
It encompassed one-hand-only firing with either hand, several speed reloads, shooting from cover positions, etc.
The sweet Langdon Tactical Technologies Springfield XD-E gave me an easy 300 out of 300 possible score.
The ambidextrous magazine release helped my old arthritic thumb, by the way.
Its easier to hit the button with the trigger finger than the thumb, in my experience.
It removes not only a bulge point but a potential discomfort hot spot.
The XD-Es features adapt well to concealed carry.
So is the option of on safing the pistol, and for the same reason.
Thus, the XD-E gives the wearer two additional safety nets in addition to the longer double-action pull.
