Springfield XDS 45ACP - Update

[Kanewpadle]

Put this here because there really isn't another place to do so.

Picked one up today. Put a 100 rounds through it plus twenty rounds of 230 +p ammo.

Shooting at 7 yards off hand, the gun is very accurate. Recoil isn't pleasant but managable. The gun seems easy to limp wrist which usually isn't a problem for me but it did happen once.

Comes with two 5 round magazine and 7 rounders are available.

I've been looking for a slim light weight single stack 45 for years. This is it finally. I'm very surprised that Glock didn't do it first and I think they made a big mistake.

I think I found a new pocket gun!

Put 200 more rounds through it this week. No hiccups.

Forgot to mention that it has two changeable backstraps. Also got a couple 7 round mags today which have matching backstraps.

And it comes with replacement fiber optic sights both red and green.

I'm liking this gun.

I handled one yesterday and liked it very much. Very similar in size to my Shield. I hope that S&W comes out with a Shield in .45. I may purchase the XDs.

I almost bought the Shield but heard the XDS would be out soon. Glad I waited. They both look to be indentical in size.

Glock single stack

Glock makes a very thin six shot(5+1)45 acp, Model 36. did not care much for mine, sold it. The shield in 45 would be nice, hope they make it.

I have had an XDS for 3 weeks now and it is an excellent little packin' 45.

I've shot everything under the sun through it and it just gobbles it up without a hitch. Everything from 155 grain SWC lead to 230 grain +P Winchester HP's. After 500 rounds through it not a bit of problem.
