Anyone with opinions on the Glock 43, Springfield XDS, or any other single stack 9mm, 45ACP, or possibly 357Sig small frame handguns? (No 40cal please)

I'm in the market for a smaller piece, preferably in the 3" to 3.5" barrel length, single stack and slim genre. I visited a shop this week and fondled a G43 - which I liked(even though I'm not a Glock fan). But after a coming home and doing a search I see that Springfield has a nice small piece as well. ...then there are others.

I know the S&W Shield can be had dirt cheap, but that grip looks like a HiPoint. (looks do matter to a small degree) And there is a rave for the Shields lately.

I'm not ruling out other brands, even "lessor" favored brands.

I want to stick with striker fire and poly frame, pre-cock(Glock'ish) or full cocked. Avoiding full double action as much as possible.

PAFOA opinions and suggestions?
