I have a lot of other springfield guns and they have all been exceptional. I am really disappointed with my XDS. I'll give it another range trip before I send it back to SA. Hopefully, they make it right.
I'm sticking with my shield.

Exactly what happened to me. Bought the XDS 45 recently and it had light strikes and failed to return to battery off and on.
Oh - and once loaded it is a very very (very!) heavy gun for its size. Couldn't sell mine fast enough, and I wouldn't buy another one amd trust my life to it if they were selling them for $1.
My Shield so far had been flawless. And it's accurate, thin, and while still on the heavy side for pocket carry, rides effortlessly at the waist or is of unnoticed weight in a shoulder bag.
