I was told Springfield fixed 4 -5 things on the pistol. You can one way if it's been back by a NEW 3rd roll pin installed on the safety grip. Or call them with the serial number and ask.

He's asking about the XDS, not the XD. I have an 45 XDS and it's been at Springfield since October for a recall. I liked it when I had it for a week before it went back. If you get one, make sure it's been fixed. I guess someone had an accidental discharge.

I guess I was confused that he wrote XDs (like the plural of XD), instead of XD-S (the actual model designation). Please continue. I still like it.

Maybe I'm confused.......let's see if it gets corrected as to his question.
I also had a full size 45 XD and got rid of it. It was like an anchor on my side. Too big and heavy for everyday carry.

I'm a big stud with big paws myself. The gun feels good to shoot, even in my paws........7x4 inches. Same as you.

I also have the XDM competition in .45 and a standard XD in 9mm. I would reach for any of the XD's before I would reach for the XD-S in .45.

I love it. I have many pistols and don't get all googoo very often but I absolutely love my XDs. I really cant believe a pistol this size is so controllable in 45. I HIGHLY recommend it.

you can get an xds-9 at precision combat in Spokane for $499. don't know where they are. mike w

I just got mine back after Springfield having it for 3 months for the recall. Now when I rack the slide back, with the mag out, to eject the round in the chamber, it does a sideways stovepipe. WTF ! Never did it before. I'm using Hornady TAP 230 grn ammo. They monkeyed with and replaced 4 things and I think one is the extractor. Anybody else's gun do this ?every one I have seen come back work flawless with a variety of ammo.

I guess we're still stock on the XD thing. For those that don't know the XD-S is completely different than the XD or XDm. It's a sub compact single stack. Almost a pocket pistol.Agreed, I misinterpreted the original post as it looks like many others did too, thinking Caseyd meant XDs ( as in plural XD not XD-S ).

Still helps though...gives me an idea of Springfield since i dont currently own one.
But yes specificlly the XD-S
I had an XD(m) in 9mm and while ultra reliable, tough and extremely accurate I despised the trigger. That long creepy trigger pull gave me a flinch that took me a bit to get rid of. I did a trigger job on the gun and it had a quite nice trigger after that but I had fallen out of love with it by that time.
Go shoot one, all of the XD series that I have shot had that same crappy trigger. If you can live with that then they are incredible guns. Aside from that the boxy shape was a pita to conceal as my clothes would catch on the corners.
While shopping you should have a look at some of what Sig Sauer has to offer.

I called Springfield and they have had problems with what I described. Funny how they wouldn't have a recall on that too. That's a big safety issue too.
So, off to Springfield again for another fix............... >:(

As you can see the XDs is very controllable and doesn't need a 'death grip'

A quick double tap from the low ready position, with warm 185's. I had been shooting outside with out gloves for 2 1/2 hours so my stiff fingers were a bit slow.:tup:

Handled and tested both the Glock and the XD only way you'll get the XD away from me is to pry it from my rigamortus (sp) stiffened fingers, Added Crimson Trace grips and I feel it is the Cats meow now.
Does yours jam when you rack the round out of the chamber manually ? Springfield told me they are having extractor issues. Mine is back at the factory getting fixed again........ >:(
