Couldn't Decide .. So Bought Em Both!

[ElDub1950]

Shield or XDs? Shield or XDs? Shield or XDs?

Of course the only correct answer is BOTH!

Bought the Shield last Month and brought home the XDs an hour ago.

Liking shooting the Shield a lot, but I'm loving the XDs. Can't wait to get it to the range.

After attaching the first pic, I noticed something. So I flipped them over for another shot.

Yep, look at the difference in the fit. Especially the ragged gap between the Shields slide and frame and the nice even fit on the XDs. Hmmm. A few extra bucks does matter. Doesn't it?

Excellent choices OP, congrats.

Glad I didn't stop at the range on the way home with the XDs. It's very dry. Definitely needs a good lube. Well, can't shoot till Saturday morning so it will get the TLC it needs.

The answer is always "Why not both?" Cheers, OP.

I have both but prefer the XDs. So much so that I got both the 9mm and .45. They just feel better in my hand.
