    Default Re: Honest Opinions on Springfield XDs?

    I've had an XDS Mod2 for a quite a while and it's been an excellent shooter. Ran it through a class a couple years ago where we put about 600 rounds through our guns in one day and it ran perfectly. Only problem I ever had with it was about a year ago I got a click with no bang. Turned out to be a factory new round with the primer seated backwards. I like it for concealed carry when my G19 is going to be too large.

    Grip Saftey & Positioning of your grip is # 1 reason a lot of shooters dismiss this firearm .It aint your daddys 1911 !

    I've had the original XD40 4" Service model since for 18years. I've shot the hell out of it. I might be on the second barrel even.

    I've carried it CC and open, used it for competitions, and even used it as a hammer to break-into my apartment when locked out.

    So many haters over the years, but I like it. I carried it a lot in all sorts of conditions/terrain, etc. At a recent training event, the checker/instructor at the safety table commented on how "well-worn" it looks. I'm thinking of rattle-canning it FDE/Coyote when I get back to The States.... bc peanut butter is way more dangerous as we all know.

    Shoot the hell out of it and see what you think.

    Touch wood... but the only ammo mine doesn't seem to like is that Fiocci Range shiite. I use that as training "dud" ammo and keep it separate.

    Again... knock on woods, but I've not yet suffered any mag lip issues. I've polished my feed ramps a few times.

    Sights suck. But I don't use them on that one.

    I mean.. I'm not considering doing a "Euro-Delivery" of whatever Springfield co-brands next, or am I? haha... but, it's worked for me.
