XDs 9mm

[jcoosi]

Got a call from my buddy at the gun store said had a xds in 9mm just came in. Told him I will be there saturday to pick it up. Same demisions as the 45 xds but holds 7+1 rounds.

Hickok45 has a YouTube video posted talking about the 9.

I would be much more inclined to purchase that pistol in a 9 as opposed to the .45

I edc the xds 45 and like it. Wanted a 9 ever since. They also make a 9rd mag for them but only comes with 2 seven round mags.

What price did they have on it?

[peejman]

Good to know they've finally hit stores.  I want my wife to pick between the XDs9 and Shield.

It will be around 550-565 otd I think.

Whitaker's had $499 + shipping

A gun store I follow on Facebook has them listed at $550. www.Kylesgunshop.com

 

Seems like a great carry gun for the summer.

Put 150 rounds downrange today with it. No issues other than it does seem to shoot left but other than that ran good. Going to try and shoot my s&w 9mm shield and compare

Any major differences size wise between the shield and the Xds?

Side by side the only major difference was the grip. The xd is blocky to where the shield is more ergonomical. Other than that same size

Here is a good review of the XD-S 9mm:

I've owned both the Shield and XDs. The Shield went away, and I carry and love the XDs in 45. My wife, who is all of 105lbs has no problem controlling it. The recoil is very nice. As 9mm goes, I have a hard time beating my Glock 26. I'm sure the XDs in 9mm will be a great little gun though

I was making a Crossbreed-style holster for a co-worker's 9mm Shield a while back. It gave me a good opportunity to compare them side-by-side. I like the Shield's grip better, but I liked EVERYTHING else about the XD-s better.

 

Ironic how the XD-s 9 is heavier than the XD-s 45. At 23 oz, the XD-s 9 is heavier than a Glock 17...that's freakin' weird.

Not really. Watch the Hickok45 video and look at the barrel difference. The 45 is hogged out way more.

I just meant that typically, a .45 is heavier than a 9mm. Since Springfield intended to release the 9mm first, I see that the 9mm barrel would have to be much thicker to use the same slide and frame. Edited June 4, 2013 by BigK

Super happy with mine.  

 

Recoil is very manageable.  The grip might get a bit uncomfortable, though, if you shoot more than a hundred rounds at a time.  Slim, and conceals well.  No function failures, so far.  Red fiber optic sight is very easy to pick up and point.  

 

As for how it shoots, here's 7 rounds at 21 feet.

I put the talon rubberized grip on my xds 45. It made the grip much more comfortable for longer shooting sessions

I put one on mine too.I agree, what a difference! I can't imagine going back to the regular stock grip now. Edited June 9, 2013 by BigK

If you follow slickguns there have been some posted over the past few days ... I snagged an XDS9 for $549 Shipped

[sigbrown1297]

Picked up a XDs 9 from Guns and Leather about a week ago.  Should get it back from CCR in about a month along with the Encog.  Pics to come! :)
