Springfield XDS shortage?

[WYO]

That is the exact opposite of my experience. Mine fed 230 Gold Dots and WWB right out of the box, plus light jacketed handloads and 200 gr. lead SWCs that my Glock 30SF won't eat.

You may be thinking of the shield. production on those seemed to slow.

The truth is, everything is in short supply right now simply because the demand for EVERYTHING has gone way up, especially any small carry guns. There are tons of new gun buyers entering the market every day, and the existing gun enthusiasts have been buying up everything they can.

My Local shop here in Ohio has a two tone and black one. The one I tested gave me no issues at all even with hollow points and different brands of ammo.

I did not have any issues or teething problems with the shield either but it was in 9mm. There were reported problems of the 40S&W shield early one.

I never heard of any problems. I did hear that limp wristing will cause problems though, and I have witnessed this first hand from two people who are not very familiar with semi auto shooting. I've not had the problem when I shoot it though. If you shoot it like you mean it, it works exactly as it should.

I've only been able to put 85 rounds through mine but it ran without a hiccup. I didn't run it with heavy lubrication, just wiped off the factory crud and went to town.

zx Guns in Goshen IN has both the two tone and black ones in stock as of 3-2-13. They were 550 and 520 respectively.

About a month ago I was looking for a new carry gun. The local shops had the XDs, the shield, and the PPS all in stock, I ended up with a colt new agent. Don't regret my choice for a second. Of course everyone is sold out of just about everything now. Except there are plenty of Remington R1's available.

Everything is on backorder right now.

I got a shield 40 and an xds a few months before the last incident, they both shoot fine. I don't need both, but you sometimes I carry 2 guns, and these two are small enough to carry both at the same time. I also ordered a 9mm barrel for the shield, as after reading several articles I found you can fire 9mm out of the 40 just by changing barrels.
I will buy some 9mm mags if the gun needs it, but most say not.
