So before all the panic buying started I decided I was going to purchase an XDs in .45 as that was the only round it came in. I procrastinated and was unable to purchase one as my dealer could not get it. Now the gun has become available in 9mm as many of you know.

My first Springfield was the XDM COMP 5.25 in 9mm and I love the trigger and the way it shoots. So I am pretty much sold on the XDs.

So my question is 9mm or .45?
What would you choose and why?


I really want the XDs so suggesting others guns is not necessary. The street price on the .45 before the panic was around $500, saw it at shows for $499 so the price is not outrageous.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks.
