Tonight on American Rifleman TV, we spend time in Geneseo, Ill., at Springfield Armory, well known for its M1A rifles and M1911 pistols. But it's the company's polymer line—the XD series of pistols—that have our attention in this episode. Learn the story of the XD, which began as the Croatian-made HS2000 striker-fired pistol, ultimately being branded by Springfield in the early 2000s and growing to one of the most popular line of polymer pistols on the market today. Watch a preview here.
