stonewalrus — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:07:56 +0000

Fired one. About all the firepower you can get in that small a package.

I hav e 4 of em and a a second XDs on the list. (reply)

Rob Leahy — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 15:57:19 +0000

They work well. I prefer them next tom a 12911 they are my personal favorite auto loader.

That's pretty good shooting.... (reply)

For 50 yards ands such a small pistol.

Since the "updated" trigger, post recall, I'm less in love.. (reply)

…than I was. I hate the new trigger. It's not horrible, it just seems the "work/break" is more towards the rear now than it originally was, which causes me to pull shots to one side.

I've posted this before. The long wait it me waiting on an airplane (range is next to an airport) and the distance was closer to 60 yards.

Decent little 45... (reply)

uncowboy — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 22:09:20 +0000

I like and recommend them.

Cool... (reply)

Jared — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 01:02:55 +0000

Yeah I hear that about the work. I have been gone a lot with my job, and trying to get moved and keep everything up has been time consuming to say the least.

Cool... (reply)

rob — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 00:56:38 +0000

That is our dream too. Really want at least 5 acres, 50 would be better but more work:).

I'm not recoil sensitive and... (reply)

Jared — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 00:48:13 +0000

He recoil isn't anything to worry with, it is way more controllable than a J from .357, probably closer to an Airweight with .38s or mild +P loads.the checkering is a little rough on sensitive hands but the recoil is fine.

Did y'all move again? (reply)

Jared — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 00:45:45 +0000

Yeah we bought a house and some more land in Rusk. I now have a shooting range in my back yard, and the last week or so hogs have been tearing it up. If I ever get back home I plan on a hog killin. We were tired of living in the city, and I wanted Jacob to grow up in the country.

I've got a 226 and 938.... (reply)

Sounds like a winner.

rob — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 23:48:26 +0000

So have both ends of the 9mm spectrum covered. I think a small 45 would be nice and maybe a 5.25 XDm later on.

rob — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 23:38:20 +0000

The one I have stashed has a pinned grip safety so it's good to go...and the trigger is pretty sweet:)

Decent little 45... (reply)

Sarge — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 23:36:41 +0000

Good pointing qualities, plenty accurate and easier to shoot well than a G27. That said, I would probably take a G30s over it but I'm used to Glocks. If you want something different that XDs is a good 45.

What are your thoughts on XDs-45? (reply)

Art — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 23:36:26 +0000

I have the nine and think very highly of it. I have dumped my Sig 229 40 with the extra 357 barrel and now have the XDs and 226 in nine but I am thinking I might need a 45 also.

Owners love 'em and chafed at the bit waiting for (reply)

Hobie — Sun, 08 Jun 2014 22:52:49 +0000

their recalled pistols to be returned. NONE complain about the guns. I think 2 have been returned because the owner traded them in for something that "fit his hand better." I don't think the recoil should be all that bad but some likely will.
