I hope your imagination turns out better than my reality did.I just bought an XDS. Carries real nice IWB. Haven't got to shoot it yet. I like .45 acp, so I went with the Springer. I imagine the Shield is a fine pistol as well. It sounds like the XDS is slightly smaller, and the gun fit in my hand nicely. Caliber is what it comes down to if comfort is the same for each for you. I also like the aggressive checkering on the XDS. I imagine it will be more easily controlable for me.
I do not care for either one, but if one goes single stack might as well get the 11.26mm.Looking for a new carry gun.
s & w shield 40 or xds 45.
I vant decied.anyone own both?
Huh?So not to rain on the moment here but... the shield and the xds are great and all but really the xds springfield shaved stuff down and there you go and s&w just shortened there stuff and tadaa here you go. What is funny though is the shield looks way to mush like the tarus 24/7 and i dont like tarus but..... everything up to placement of slide lock is close just saying. If you buy a new an improved hey good for you but the original always worked
What he means is XDs is anorexic XDm 3.8" Compact while the Shield is anorexic version of M&P Sc.Huh?
