Springfield XDS 9mm

[bigkev84]

Got my hands on the new Springfield xds 9mm last week, and tonight finally had time to take it out and shoot it. All I can say was WoW. Very nice trigger it has and extremely accurate. Only one time the slide failed to lock back after last round. Other than that no issues. Awesome gun! Good job Springfield.

Was planning on purchasing an LC9 until I heard about this new XDS. Anyone have any idea how the two compare on handling and profile?

Personally, LC9 has a long trigger pull and snappy for me being only a 9mm. My friend bought one recently and sold it instantly because of those reasons. You should go rent and shoot it first.

Having had both I can say dont waste your time on the LC9. Its a bit smaller but not nearly as well engineered. XDs is a better gun hands down.

Got mine a week or so ago and I haven't liked a gun this much in a while. Much better than the LC9 but it was alot more expensive.

I love the XD line of pistols and own several. I just haven't been able to get excited about the XDS's. I realize they are a quality product but they haven't shown me they are worth the asking price.

I have a 4.5 xdm 9mm myself and have been extremely happy with the quality since day one. I am interested in what the LC9 has to offer but as well as the XDS, I would like some opinions as it would be for my girlfriend to start out with. She needs a subcompact pistol to start out with, her hands are way too small for a full size pistol.

My son has the XDS in .45ACP and I really like it. Almost as much as my 1911, but not quite.

Stay away from LC9, she won't like it at all. She will be happier with xds 9mm if you can get one. If not, try out the M&P Shield 9mm. Can't go wrong with either or. Plenty of other sub compacts out there as well.
