Springfield Armory XDS Single Stack .45ACP Micro

Wish they did the body guard in 9mm.

I'm kinda with you. An LC9 sized "Bodyguard" would be sweet...can it have M&P ergos?

Let's all sign a petition for SA to make a 9mm XDS. Well for me, XDS40.

Even though I'm not an XD fan(of any model) I'm down.

I have nothing against SA, and I would like those that are SA fans to get the products they ask for.

Like I said, it may prompt others to fill produce them more regularly.

I thought it was already announced at SHOT show that Springfield was already planning on doing a XD-S in 9mm and .40 this year, but came out with the .45 version first.

I think the XD-S 9mm would be their answer to a Bodyguard 9mm. Although, with how the market and industry is moving towards these days (very high emphasis on personal protection & defense), if a gun company wants to stay ahead of the game then they're going to need more 'pocket' pistols in various calibers to fill that demand.

My 329pd shoots 44 mag, weighs 25oz and holds 6 rounds too. Ill stick with that.

but... but... welll, um.... you win

The only downside is the cylinder on an N frame is pretty wide and the overall dimensions are quite a bit larger, making it harder to conceal than a subcompact pistol.

How do you like magnum loads out of it? Seems like it would be brutal.

With my loads: When the gun fires, it feels like your hand just exploded. You see a giant flash of light and flame where your hand once was. A few moments later your hand magically reappears. Times 6.

What pressure? Springfield doesn't offer a single stack 9 or 40 in polymer, either.

I'm very glad to see them do it, and they look like superb offerings, but the XDS is a refined Glock 36, just as the XDm 5.25 is a refined Glock 34. They'll have some effect on Glock's sales, but I doubt it will be enough to inspire Glock to change very much.

A 9mm version is coming (and I've read elsewhere a .40 version is also coming):

As a die-hard revolver fan, I'm starting to see the light on the slimmer semi-autos for carrying now that I have a CCW... The revolvers are alot harder to conceal.

Yay!!!! I'm waiting for the .40. I'm too lazy to switch the dies on my progressive.

Another decent gun that won't be sold to civilians without jumping through unnecessary SSE hoops.

Aint that the truth. Hail Commiefornia

29oz is a heavy carry gun??

Jeez I must have clicked the female forum on accident

i dont understand this whole striker position indicator, or even chamber indicator.... its your gun, if you don't know if you have a round loaded, you don't deserve to own or even handle a gun. if someone else handles my gun, and they don't know how to check, or treat it as if it were loaded. they don't deserve to own or handle either.

^ tell that to our great law makers, especially the person with the shoulder thing that goes up.

They are there to make people feel good that they have a gun with "safety features.". They aren't necessary at all.
