The reason I brought it was I ended up with 14 or so 13 round XD 45 magazines new in the factory packaging in a trade.

I tried selling them for 18 dollars each in lots of 3 on a couple other sites and had no takers so I decided I needed a firearm to go with them thus I am the owner of a new XD.

Now with the 3 mags that came with it I still don't know if I need that many mags.

What was your previous gun and why the change? The Springfield is a quality piece.

Just another one in the stable I carry many different ones.

As I said in the pervious post I brought it because I had acquired many magazines for this model.

I also like to have different firearms around for clients to handle and try if they so desire.

This is very sound reasoning - you don't want to throw away perfectly good magazines, and your local PD is not doing a >10 round magazine buy back, so you 'invest' in companion to them.

Never is when you have too many magazines for any specific one.
