I have both and they are very similar in size like someone said above. I like them both. That said if S&W comes out with a .45 Shield I will buy it. I carry my Shield daily it's a 9mm. I haven't had the XDS that long and have to get a holster made to accommodate the laser. Have carried it without the laser and it's sweet.
Update 11/9/15
XDS is gone. Could not shoot it to my satisfaction. I own a Glock 30S and can shoot golf ball size groups with it at 10 yards same with my XD mod2 .45. Something about the XDS and my hand didn't get along. I would always get a flyer with every group. I own like 20 handguns and that was the only one I had that problem with. That said I have changed my mind I would not buy a .45 shield if one ever came out.
