Answer: When did Springfield Armory start using XD Melonite treated slides

Written by

Early XD's had a reputed problem of rusting too easily. I asked them when they started their Melonite metal treatment (it hardens the steel). Here is the reply (full name, email and phone removed):

"If the model was produced after Feb 1st 2006, it will have a melonite finish on it.
Thanks, Tom "
