Personally, I don't see the reason for the hype, the thing is wholey proprietary, gun parts, magazines...........
Other than the Springfield name, what is there to fall back on?
I say this as the owner of a 9mm Saint, and a 20 inch Hellion. Neither of which Springfield offers ANY kind of spare part support.........
I own two pretty long guns i don't have manufacturer support for.........
And as much as I like them, they're NEVER going to be my GO-TO for anything, due to the pronounced LACK of manufacturer support
