Springfield XDS 9mm Review

[Cokeman]

No kidden. I was hoping for a small 9 to be announced at SHOT. Nope.

The overall measurments are almost identical to that of the Shield if the XDS9 is the same size as the XDS 45. Which makes it close to the same with and height an 3/4" longer than the PM/CM9. Looks like a great pistol but I'm sticking with my PM9. It's just been to good a CC piece to think about making any sort of trade inolving that pistol. Now Maybe the Glock 26 would be up for a trade if there as good a gun as advertised and the price is not out of this world. Time will tell.

I hoped it would be smaller than the .45 XDS.

I think Glock is really missing the boat by not introducing something to compete with the PM9/CM9.

I cant believe these "new" guns that they are unvailing. Most we knew about or already out. I think the XDS .45 they have over advertised and reviewed. Its already old imo! And why carry a XDS 9mm if the .45 is the same size. More shots? If your good 6 shots of .45 should be enough!

I totally agree with this statement. What is their problem? I still dont understand the politcal issues with the Glock .380 and getting it here in the US. Come on. So stupid!

Cheaper ammo?

I have a Glock 26, but i would not trade it for a XDs 9mm, the G26 is a proven sidearm with years ofproduction, mine has been 100% with any ammo. the G26 is a little thick but i have no issue concealing it, my CM9 is probably going to get the nod for warm weather carry after i get a few more rounds through it, it has also been 100%.
I am done getting new handgun when they first come out always some issue and i don't like being a beta tester with a possible ccw.

Six shots are always enough unless you need a seventh. Was that profound, or what?

There are many guns that fit into the concealed carry niche. Find one and carry it. To each his own.

Wow Muggsy. No glamor, no glitz, no bling. Just plain old common sense. I like it.

I've shot several XDS in 45. They are really nice, but the trigger of the Kahr series is where it's at for me. Won't be replacing my P45 with an XDs. As Mugsy said, to each his own.

I'm not suprised by the size of it, nor did I expect it to be the size of a PM9 once I saw the size of the XDS45. Pretty small for a 45 cal . pistol. What they put out is what I expected from Springfield. Manufacturing wise it makes perfect sense to make it the same size as the XDS45.
