New XD-S

[japartridge]

oh yeah, once they have the 9mm I am in line for one!

 

[nrar15]

Think I found something to take the place of my 32 KelTec that I've carried for god knows how many years.

 

[BIGsmooth]

That is a sweet little gun. I love xdms.

 

[jcharrison05]

Once they roll 9mm off the line it will be in my hands. Cant wait!!

 

[avengedXT]

Ok, well for those of you who have ever seen me talk about my Springfield vs Glock experience you'll know I love both of them. They each have their pro's and con's.

Now that I covered that:

Looking at the technical specs of the XDS, I read where the Slide width is 0.9" wide (according to where I read this at, it's mentioning the .45 ACP version seen in the video) with an overall width of 1.0". THAT is a showstopper. The Kahr PM9's width is 0.9", and that is one compact piece.

My only big concern is when it's going to be released - oh god I just don't take well to temptation.

One fuss - I do want to wait for the 9mm & .40 S&W versions before I'd make a decision. .45 ACP is pricey to play with (SubCompact XDS would likely not be a "play" gun anyway though), and I do agree that 5+1 is slightly lacking. However, the Kahr PM45 is also in 5+1 configuration. And the Kahr PM45 has been unmatched in the polymer single-stack .45 market. At least 'til now =)

[sartwell]

I'll have one !!!

 

[Plisken]

Ive been waiting for springfield to make this for along time. Im sure a 9mm and 40 will be along soon. Cant wait to see one for myself. Ive been looking at other slim pistols but been holding out for a springer.

Im with ya brotha. Im in the same boat with my p-32. Someting with a bit more firepower.

If its $700 that will certainly calm down the interest a bit I bet. Id certainly have the lighter and more capacity Kimber Ultra Carry for not much more $$, thats for sure.

If its closer to $450-$550 this would be a better deal.

 

[Shift Zombie]

I completely agree. 650-700 is way to high. I can get the 3.8" .45 for 550~. Though, I recall when the Walther PPQ was around 750 you could find it for way less.

 

[jdg0724]

That will definitely be a hot seller. I may just have to pick one up. the only downside at this point would be the capacity, but like Shift Zombie stated: they may increase the capacity before they release them. 5 rds is just not enough for most people to feel comfortable with.

 

[jonny4523]

I think someone on here needs to buy one, try it out, and then sell it to me used!

 

[g+16]

for carry I have always prefered the 45, and I think I need another one

 

[! twitty]

Anyone seen specifications on the size yet?

 

[LPPOsecurity]

6.3 in. Long 4.4 in. High with a 3.3 in. barrel and 1 inch wide at the take down lever, most of the gun is 0.9 in. wide and as far as price goes the gun source has them listed at a hair over 500, and they are being released sometime in march as of right now
