Crack in Poly lower on my springfield xd.

Has been a couple of years, i am just curious as to how it turned out with Springfield Armory? Did they cover under warranty? Come out of yur pocket? Thanks, Jake

I sent the whole gun in. Called th morning. They said it will be about ten days before I hear back. I asked if the wanted the ruptured case. They did not.
I agree that there's no good way to fix a polymer gun. Everything I have read or looked into. Aswell as tried verified that. Not to mention the stress fractures our eyes can't see just waiting to break.
I look at it this way. If I was going to to a controlled detonation in a enclose space. I wouldn't be within 500 yards and still in a bunker. Ammunition is the same. Except the firearm is the bunker. It's not worth the damage that can happen in an uncontrolled detonation.
If you have a polymer gun that is cracked. It's just a matter of time before it gets worse. Just my heart felt opinion. With a serious dose of fact.
I will post an update when I hear from them. I'm hoping for the best. But I don't expect a total free replacement.

Let me start at the beginning. After I broke it. After inspecting and weighing the spent case remains. I had concluded that a 380 case got loaded with a 124 grain bullet and 3.9 grains of tight group.
I was totally honest with springfield arms. I told them exactly what had happened.
They sent me a shipping label and rma number. No cost to me.
After about two weeks I called to check on it. I let them know I didn't mind paying for a new lower. I just wanted my pistol working again. They told me it was in line behind a couple other orders yet.
About one week later I had my pistol and magazine back. They replaced the lower, the mag, and a couple other parts. They included a letter thanking me for my honesty to. The new lower has a different serial numberalso.
I wasn't expecting that kinda service at all.
It's been running hard ever since. I just don't let my brother reload any of my stuff anymore.
