context_page_description: Springfield Armory, Inc., is an American commercial firearms manufacturer and importer based in Geneseo, Illinois. Founded in 1974 by Bob Reese, the company produces rifles such as the M1A and handguns such as the XD series and Hellcat. The company is unrelated to the like-named former manufacturer of US military firearms in Massachusetts, Springfield Armory.
context_section_description: The company's handgun offerings include M1911 pistols, the 911 pistol, and the polymer-frame XD (eXtreme Duty) pistol series. The M1911 line includes the Range Officer series, the EMP, Mil-Spec, TRP, and Ronin Operator versions.
  The XD series began as a rebranding of Croatian-made HS2000 pistols. The XD-M variant was added in 2007, and the compact concealed carry XD-S line was added in 2012. Second generation XD offerings, branded as XD Mod.2, were introduced in 2014. The XD-E, a variant with an exposed hammer and a double action / single action (DA/SA) trigger system, followed in 2017. In 2018, the XD-S Mod.2, a modernized and upgraded version of the original XD-S, was introduced. In 2019, the company introduced the XD-M Elite line of pistols, which takes the XD-M and adds features such as the META (Match Enhanced Trigger Assembly), extended magazine wells and capacities up to 22 rounds in 9mm, ambidextrous slide locks, and enhanced slide grasping grooves.
  In 2018, the company introduced the 911 pistol, a reduced-size version of an M1911. The Hellcat micro-compact pistol was introduced in 2019, featuring 11- and 13-round magazines.
