Post by: whitey on March 21, 2013, 01:08:33 PM: I have had mine for about 5 years and love it.
XD 40 Sub compact.. Very good shooter, dependable and concealable.
The only thing I didnt like was the Junk chit they sent with it..The Holster, mag carrier are junk.
The gun is not.

Post by: hunterbuilder on March 21, 2013, 06:41:58 PM: I've had mine about a month and put about 100 rounds through it. Really like it. Easy to shoot and doesn't punish too bad being a short light 45.
Here is my first 2 clips out of it at 15 yards off hand.

Post by: timberghost72 on March 21, 2013, 11:53:45 PM: I love my XDS. One of my favorite firearms. I do hate the holster it came with. Has anyone found a good holster for these? I prefer OWB leather and as minimal as possible in size.

Post by: demontang on March 22, 2013, 06:11:23 PM: Look for a 3" 1911 leather holster they are very close in size and shape. My 3" ultra carry fits the xds holster all to well :tup:

I have a small Galco leather holster for my 3" 1911. I love that holster and it fits my full size 1911 awesome too. I didn't think about seeing if it would fit the XDS. So I tried and it didn't fit :bash: :bash: Not even close really. I was hoping it would have. Thats exactly what I'm looking for for the XDS.

What holster do you have?
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: Huntboy on March 23, 2013, 04:06:43 PM: I have a Galco king tuk for a 1911 and my XDS fit it. Not perfect, but it does fit.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: duramax on March 23, 2013, 04:32:08 PM: I bought the XDS a couple months ago and is a great gun. No issues with a couple hundred rounds through it. Bought a kydex holster from eight2ten.com. Great guy, fast service and extremely tight fit. It is very light and comfortable, would recommend the holster to anyone.

Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: HntnFsh on March 26, 2013, 06:11:14 AM: You can get a XD in 357 but I dont think you can get an XDs in 357....yet.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: wildmanoutdoors on March 26, 2013, 06:14:07 AM: XDs only comes in 45 ACP correct?

Post by: TheFewTheProud on March 26, 2013, 06:30:48 AM: I shot my friends yesterday. First time ever shooting one. I really liked it and tried to get him to sell it, no such luck.

I carry my XD 40 in a Blackhawk CQC and love the fact it is adjustable and has a very solid and fast retention feature.

But Im not seeing one for the XDS.

Actually they have announced the XDS in 9mm now. But I have yet to here that one has been sold.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: Huntboy on March 26, 2013, 08:21:54 AM: Mine is 45 acp, guess I better hurry up and shoot it. That way if they come out with it in 9mm, I'll know whether or not I want one of those too.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: HntnFsh on March 26, 2013, 08:17:47 PM: Guess I should clarify the .357. The XD comes in a .357 sig. not .357 mag.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: splitshot on March 26, 2013, 10:04:40 PM: i have an xd9sc. why is that different from an xd9s? mike w
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: HntnFsh on March 27, 2013, 06:15:57 AM: The XDs is a single stack.
Title: Re: Springfield XD S
Post by: 10thmountainarcher on March 27, 2013, 07:04:49 AM: The xds is less than an inch in width.. The subcompact as stated is a double stack so it's a little thicker.. My dad jus picked up a 45 xds and loves it
