It’s getting wild around here! That’s right, today is “Wild Wednesday,” the day in which Springfield Armory gives away 50 guns to 50 lucky individuals who participate in this year’s Duel 3 Contest.
Below are the details, as well as a video of the gun they’re giving away, the 4″ XD-S, single stack 9mm. To read our review of the 4″ XD-S, click here.
Springfield Armory®’s fourth and final “Wild Wednesday” as part of its ongoing DUEL 3 promotion includes a whopping 50 handgun prizes from its own collection of products. The total value of the prizes is nearly $26,000.
There will be 50 lucky winners who will receive an XD-S® 4.0” 9mm handgun and Pro-Shot 6.5” universal cleaning kit. To participate in the promotion, just visit DUEL.Springfield-Armory.com/Vote and vote on this week’s head-to-head matchup, 1911 LB Operator® .45ACP versus 1911 MC Operator® .45ACP.

I was one of the winners of week 3 Wild Wednesday. With California’s restrictive gun laws, the gun I won wasn’t CA DOJ compliant. Springfield’s customer service went the extra distances for me and made arrangements for me to receive an approved pistol. Yes, they had an overwhelm server one day, that’s the price for a great promotion.
I thought it was just me, sorry to see you had trouble too. Contests, specials, prizes and freebies can backfire.
I wasnt looking for a free lunch, I was looking for a gun to purchase. They have run me off.
What a complete cluster-F… over at Springfield Armory website. Website “down for maintenance”, this morning. Won’t let you login. If you do get logged in, it won’t let you vote. It constantly says “you can only vote once per hour” even if your vote never goes through. The countdown timer says “0 minutes until next vote”, but the timer never changes. Your login is just stuck in limbo
The won’t purge the cache on the webserver, or force a logout so other’s can get in. Their system seemed to work fine all week, but not today. Oh well
