I highly doubt u'll see the Shield in a .45. Simply because the most people who buy a shield, use it for CC. And the majority of buyers lean more towards the 9mm for that purpose. Those of us who have a .40 Shield are the few that just want to leave a bigger hole, lol.

Also, you will find the Bass Pro and Cabellas seem to keep the XDS in stock and on display. Our local Cabellas is currently on their 2nd shipment and they have stated its not anywhere near the seller of the 9mm Shield........And i would assume, thats because its a .45ACP. IMO, the 9mm of the Shield is also more user friendly with the women who CC.
