I took the xds to the range today after I cleaned it really good and lubed it on the heavy side like the lady from CS told me to. I kept a kung fu death grip on it today during my shooting with it. I shot 100 rounds of white box with zero failures.
I hate, I mean really hate to admit it but I must have been limp wristing. Like the lady said its grip sensitive. I've shot guns from all other manufacturers and never ever had this problem, but I guess the little xds likes to be shot with a strangle hold on it.
I have mixed feelings about this because in a SD situation I don't want to draw and say firm grip firm grip.
I can not induce a failure with any other gun in my carry rotation which consist of: kahr cm9, glock 26. These guns have ran and continue to run flawless.
I don't know if I'll be keeping the xds or not. Its tough to consider retiring two dependable firearms that work with the grip and stance that I'm accustomed to. I don't dis like my xds by any means but I'm not in love with it like I thought I would be. I kind of wish I'd of saved the extra money up and bought the kimber ultra cdp 2.
