The XD-S 9mm Micro-Compact Pocket Pistol from Springfield

[Barth]

The newest XD-S, in 9mm, is the same size as the original 45,
brought to market this year in response to overwhelming demand for the smaller caliber.
It shoots even lighter than the original, holds two more rounds,
and side by side with every other "micro-9" in the market, flips a lot less.
The XD-S is a full featured pistol, with a loaded round indicator,
last round hold open, and the new 9mm comes with two 7 round magazines,
an outside the waistband holster, and a dual magazine holster.
It it also has an grip insert for smaller hands and extra fiber optic sight inserts in two colors.
The street price of the XD-S 9mm should be around $550-$600.

I had my we on one on these but grabbed the cw9 instead cause I couldn't wait and the cw9 was $100-$200 cheaper.

This pistol is gonna be just as popular as the .45 was. I like the fact that the extra mag has a 10 round capacity. Looks like Springfield has got itself a good reliable shooter again.

I will absolutely be picking one of these up at some point in the future.

I just got the XDs in .45. Great shooter...I will trying the 9 as soon as I see one. I wonder if these will hurt Kahr's sales at all?

It can't help.
Direct competition for sure.

There's plenty of demand for all the gun makers to do well.

I'm not giving up my K9 for an XDs 9mm, though.











...but I might consider having both.

I wondered that too, but I shot my son's XDS side by side with my PM45. I happily gave him back the XDS.

I still want one but not real bad. It's a great gun, accurate and all, just didn't fit my hand too well. I could fix that for sure but it's still a bit Glockish for me.

Which is good really, I kind of want a Smith M&P so one less thing in the way ya know, course that could change before lunch too. Oh my look at the time, I slept late on my nap. Here it is lunch time.

So it's almost Miller Time - LOL!

As for the XDs in 45 or 9mm flavor.
My all stainless steel beauty MK40 Elite fills that size guns place in my arsenal.

They say it is a real soft shooter. It weighs 1.5 oz more than the 45 at 23 oz. It is 7+1 or 9+1, which is nice. But I can get a soft shooting, 7+1 or more 9 mm about that size in the much lighter CW9. A whole lot less expensive, too. That said, my CM9 is all I need in a small 9 mm carry pistol. So, I won't be jumping on that.

But they will sell a lot of them because of SA's reputation and market visibility. Will it affect Kahr's sales? I think so, but maybe not much. The lower price of the C series guns will hold their own. And the available features, including the DLC finish, will continue to draw people to the P series guns. The steel guns probably won't be affected at all.

My opinion only:

The XDs 9mm is heavier than the Kahr. The CM9/PM9 is the winner. Hands down.

Now on the XDs .45, Close call there. It depends on what you like. I Love my CW45 and my XDs 45. The XDs is a bit smaller in the grip length. It's a good shooter too just different than the CW45.

I wanted one of these really bad!!! But then I saw the CM9 and put it on lay away instead.. last Friday my LGS got in 10 of the XDs9 on the shelf for $499!! I have debated taking my XD9 Sub-Compact up there and trading for the XDs9, but I really love my XD9SC..

Depends on what you were looking for to begin with

I just got the XDs in .45. Great shooter...I will trying the 9 as soon as I see one. I wonder if these will hurt Kahr's sales at all?

I opened the box on a brand new sealed one when they came in to my local gun supplier...(20 of them), the day after I bought my CW45....the grip is one of those where your pinky and third finger are "hangin" if you have the mag out. Naaaa not for me tnx

The length of the grip was what sold me on the Kahr....I didn't even see the brand on the gun but said yeah this is the one....

Or any less?

Years ago my Martial Arts instructor invited me on a weekend camping trip.
I was told that I could only bring one sixpack for the trip.

Always following my masters instructions I brought six of these -
