I just got mine, and shot it for the first time yesterday. To say I was pleased would be an understatement. Everything I heard about the XDs was true, and it was even more comfortable to shoot than I had ever dreamed a mini .45 acp could be. I have an AMT Backup in .45 acp, and while I don't mind the recoil, between hammer-bite on my ham hands and the fact that the bones in my hand DID mind the recoil, it was not the most fun gun to shoot.
I know, the point of a small .45 is not fun, it's so you can carry something dead-serious, comfortably. But this XDs is a game changer. It actually IS fun to shoot, and so comfortable that I was hard pressed to believe it was a .45 I was shooting. It's comfortable to grip and shoot, more accurate than I am, and (there's that word again) comfortable in an IWB holster for all day wear.
I love the .45 acp round, usually in a 1911 platform. For summertime wear the XDs disappears under a t shirt.
So far, all I have fired were 230 grain fully jacketed bullets. No problems at any point. Burp, yeah, that's all you got?
If you're wondering about this gun, I warn you now; you probably won't like it. Carry it, and shoot it, you're going to LOVE it
