Well I stopped and picked up an XDs Monday night. They only had one left which was the display one, but it was in perfect shape so it wasn't a big deal. Cost $550 which was a lot less than at another store I was looking at so I was pretty happy. I put about 60 rounds through it yesterday and today. Didn't have any problems except for one round that didn't get the primer hit for some reason. For a small gun it isn't bad to shoot except for hotter loads which you sure can feel. Think ill be sticking with lighter loads. I can get my whole hand on the grip without any problems, and it is nice and grippy without being too rough. It fits my hand pretty good, I might try the smaller back strap that it came with and see how it feels anyways. The sights work good and this is the first gun I've shot with a fiber optic sight and I really like it. Isn't as accurate as my 1911, but I think that's more me than the gun. I The trigger is fairly heavy, but nothing I can't live with and get used to. I sure don't think it's a bad thing as this is a ccw gun I don't mind a little heavier trigger.
I haven't been able to decide what holster to get for it so I've been using the factory one for now. While it makes the gun hard to conceal, it's comfortable and holds it secure. It should work until I find a good iwb then ill still probably use it if I decide to open carry. When I was carrying my 1911 before this I didn't have any problems concealing it or carrying it after i got a good belt and holster, but the XDs is much better. I can't hardly feel its there so It'll be alot more comfortable and be easier to hide when I don't have to wear a jacket all the time. Overall I'm very pleased with it and I can see why they are so popular. Easy to conceal and still easy to shoot while still packing a punch.
Any one have a good holster to recommend?
