So my wife found a pistol she likes. Springfield XDS 9mm with 4 inch barrel. 3.3 inch was a little hard for her to work the slide. Then Springfield, in their infinite wisdom, stopped making it. The one she handled, and the last one at a local shop, sold before we got back there. The very next day. I know my google-fu is weak, but I'm not finding any showing up for sale online, either.
With this pistol as a baseline, throw more options at me so I can have my wife check them out. She is beginning to show interest again after a few years not shooting. In fact, she sold her last pistol quite a while ago. I want her to get shooting while the interest is there. Hopefully, she'll stick with it this time.
Remembering that her dislike of the 3.3 inch was based on working the slide, what can be found similar in feel to the now discontinued 4" XDS?
