My protégé shooting my XDs 45 auto

Madeline tries the 45auto XDs for the first time.

Good for her! Looks like she has it under control. How is the recoil on the XDS? Was wondering with the smaller frame then the XDM. I have the XDM 4.5" 45acp and love it. If the XDS 45acp is managable on recoil and accurate at 7yds to 10yds I might consider getting one for summer conceal carry.

The xds is fairly easy to control IMHO. Of course that is a subjective thing. I have an extended mag for it that makes the grip basically full size. With one of the stock five round magazines there is a little more "snap" to it, but still very manageable. Terrific firearm, shooting it accurately at only 10 yards shouldn't be an issue.

 Yes, they are controllable. She is ~110#'s 5'3" and has very limited pistol experience.
Here is a review I did on this pistol:

Does anyone have any recent thoughts on the SDx 45?  Still a good reliable option?
