As someone who builds 1911s I was impressed with the Springfield XDS. It is very compact for the size of the package.

WHOA! Did you just recommend a plastic gun?
Here is my Kimber CDP Pro that Dr. Greyson overhauled for me. It carries as well as any Glock I have (actually better).
Of course it shoots WAAAY better than any gun I own. Thanks Barry!
