I'd rather buy a cw45 for a cheap pocket screamer

Alright you caught me lol
.Im not a huge fan of glock looks either but man oh man the XDm's excessive "ridge-like" textures completely turned me off of them
The Glock isnt pretty either (takes home the silver in ugly imo) but at least it doesnt look like someone just hacked away at the slide and frame with a chisel.
The pictures ive seen of the XDm single stack actually look pretty nice though i will admit.(although i havent seen the full sized yet only the compact)
There are alot of people who leave home with nothing more than a J-Frame .38 with 5+0, so I don't see where 5+1 of .45 ACP is such a bad thing. A mag change is rather easy, and seeing what Springfield did with thier last few pistols, I'm pretty sure a full sized grip mag will be released. I'm sure they will get plenty of feedback before they release this officially. This little baby is going on my wish list, provided all the bugs get worked out.

This would be seriously cool with extended mags with grip extensions! Seems like a 7+1 ought to be about right...

That guy in the video may have the most annoying voice I've ever heard . . .
At any rate, I'm not personally seeing the appeal on this one. If I'm going to carry a compact single stack, I'm gonna want it in a 9mm or even .40S&W so that the frame can be made even thinner, and I can cram a few more rounds of ammo into the size.
In .45ACP - I'd honestly only be interested in something roughly 1911 sized (4.5 to 5" barrel, 7+1 capacity).

I"ve got that in my S&W CS40, but the dang thing is heavy!

They messed it up...tried to make it too thin (like the Kahrs), and it cost them capacity.
I appreciate the effort, and I like the XD's....but I'll stick with my G36.

The XDs. 5+1 less than an inch wide, how much I wonder?

OK...thin is good, but too thin is bad...and the XDs is too thin (as are the Kahrs IMO).
Stagger the magazine just a little, which would add a little bit of width...and another round of capacity...then I'll buy one.
There is no logical reason to build a gun that is much thinner than a 1911....regardless of caliber.

I like thin, it tends to fit my hand for some reason

Me too. My PPS fits my hand perfectly, and I have slightly larger than average hands.

Yeah, my PPS fits like it was made for me. And I wear 2xl gloves and a size 13 (14?) wedding band.
When I finally found one to handle in person, it was at Gander Mountain (awful prices) and in the fo-tay ... with one magazine ... in the wrong size
MrsBFD still had to remind me that I had to put it down and keep looking, but that was the end of wondering if I really wanted a PPS.
A few weeks later I found it for a good price in 9x19 and with the 6x & 7x magazines in the box - and it lives with me most of the time now.

How funny... same story here, except that Gander Mountain's outrageous price meant they were the only store for many miles that actually had one, so I bit the bullet, so to speak, and paid their painful price. After the first time I shot it, I didn't care. Such a wonderful gun!

i heard that they were offering a full sized XDs which i like the idea a full size single stack polymer pistol. A very empty market for that category.
Wether or not thats true im not sure though
