If they had those a while back might not have bought my XDS
The 45 XDS are right stout to shoot but controllable. Anybody who has done a fair amount of shooting would be fine but definitely not a "first gun."?I would not want to run a hundred or so rounds through one in a session. They are definitely concealable to the point of being a pocket gun if the pocket cut is right. Definitely better than the fatter Smith M&P Compact I have in 9 mm.
