The more talk about the XD-S makes me wanna not wait for the 9mm....sigh
I love my XDs especially with the extended magazine, it fits my hand better by allowing me a full grip.
i was looking at the extended mags but i just wasn't sure if they would be worth it, but who knows i might get one soon to try it out.
I had an opportunity to shoot an XDs (45) over the weekend, family member came over with a brand new shiny box he was itching to shoot.
I personally put about 10 rounds through it, and other than kicking like a mule i liked it, no ftf/fte/etc. I had been looking at either this or the XDm to replace my edc.
I was watching him shoot it, Failure to feed, Double Feed, stove pipe, etc.
It didn't do it for me, I'm guessing he was limp'ing it or holding it odd. I'm withholding judgment for now, but I'm taking a step back on my curiosity here. I'll need to have him over and put a couple more boxes through it before I'm sold.
He gave himself a nasty slide bite too, I'm thinking it was just the shooter
I found the very pistol to be accurate and the recoil is not bad at all. I felt the recoil is less than a S&W J-frame Airweight. If you like XDM's you will love the XDS.

Any likes or dislikes about the grip safety?
