Nice, looks like in development still? Although with my 507k I can still barely co-witness enough to get by.

I ditched my Hex Wasp after it failed and had to send it in for warranty. I also have a Holosun 507k x2 on my Hellcat, but using the mounting plate. Didn't want to modify the gun or optic in anyway. I can still barely co-witness enough to where I'm happy with it in case the red dot fails. But I...

Just got my replacement Hex Wasp back from Springfield. Thought about keeping it as a backup to my Holosun but instead deciding to sell it. Don't want to run risk of relying on this optic considering the overall issues. Any suggestions on how I could list it on a site like eBay? New, warranty...

So Springfield doesn't sell the magwell by itself, but I did find a convert package that includes the shorter magwell. Don't need the backstraps, but def can always use another mag, plus I get the shorter magwell to replace the large flared magwell. See...

If I was CC I would def take off the big magwell. I have a 9mm Hellcat I use for CC appendix carry and have a hard time sometimes not printing.

Does anyone know if the short magwell on the XD-M® ELITE 4.5″ 9MM HANDGUN will fit the XD-M® ELITE 4.5″ OSP™ THREADED 9MM HANDGUN? The shorter magwell would be perfect instead of the flared one. if it is compatible, how would I go about ordering one?

Very nice how that design fits so nicely.

For those wondering, the smaller magwell I tried from Pistol Gear was the, PistolGear “Patriot” Magwell for XD-M 9/40, which I DO NOT recommend. The reason being, the magwell fits over the grip and has a protruding sharp edge that will cause discomfort to your palm. It also just feels annoying...

I sort of like the look without the magwell. However having a smaller version would be nice for my shorter 20 round mags.

My issue is also I the 9mm 22 round mags are too long and don't fit very well in the velcro pouches on my plate carrier. The 9mm 20 round mags do fit nicely in the mag pouches, but as you probably know, the 20 round mags when inserted are inset into the flared magwell. Which could be an issue if...

If I can't find a magwell that fits nicely I may just go without a magwell.

So the flared magwell that comes with the XDM-Elite 9mm is way overboard. I tried the option from Pistol gear but the design digs into the bottom part of my palm when gripping the gun because it overlays onto the grip. Are there any options out there that I can get a less flared magwell that...

I've emailed, warranty@springfield-armory.com, twice within the last 3 weeks and have yet to get a response about getting my faulty Hex Wasp replaced. Is this normal? Is there another method of contacting Springfield?

Well, just checked it today and it's dead. So new battery lasted only about 30 days. Looks like I'll be contacting support for a replacement. To your point, it looks like it went from bright red to dead in about a day. I must have caught it as it was quickly fading off.

Quick update. Put a new battery in my Hex Wasp 1 month ago to the day and I checked it today and can see the reticle is already getting duller. Will report back when the battery is drained. Guessing at this rate it won't be much longer.
