Little shooting today..

XDS!

[BIRDMAN]

I'm glad I waited for others to mention the XDS. Figured after I harped so much on the XDM that Shane would just roll his eyes if I ecstatically proposed the XDS right after. lol

I'm waiting for them to release the XDS in .40...though I've been considering just getting a .45 since the prices most likely have fallen a bit on them.

The only thing I don't like is that, as far as I know, they don't have a simple "pinky-extension" mag for them. I don't want an extended mag as that makes the handle TOO long, but just want somewhere to grip with my pinky as the stock length is too short for my taste.

That was the issue with the 40 Glock, there was NO handle and all top and the fuker was all over the place.

Well if it shoots as good as it looks I'm def interested!

No, as I said, I don't want a mag extension, but JUST a pinky extension. That mag in your link, though adds 2 more rounds, makes it too long for my liking. I just want a stock flush mag, witih a pinky extension out of the bottom.

I love my M&P Shield 9. 1600rds and no issues. It is a great cc weapon for me.

Bingo, I thought I had seen them before, but the last time I talked to a guy at PSA, he assured me rather condescendingly that they don't make such a thing for those guns.

Thanks

Doesnt make much since to me to add length but not capacity but to each his own.

Just a little heads up to potential XDS buyers and current owners.

It barely adds any length. And it's purpose is to add STABILITY and comfort, by allowing the pinky to have something to grip on.

No need to be defensive bro. Its your opinion roll with it. I like my XDS without either.

I like it without as well, but my giant hands say otherwise.

Pfft what do you know? Your job issues you a Glock dont they?

[Shane361]

All Shields and XPS's recalled per ATP. Did get some new grips though so not a wasted trip.

Nice choice on the Hogue rubber grips. Those Hogue rubber grip panels for the 1911 give a unique grippy feel that you can't get with hard grip panels.

I have the Hogue full wrap around version with the finger grooves. This version fits my large paws to a tee. A firm grip combined with those finger grooves really locks the pistol into the hand. The gain in control is like shooting a 9mm 1911 instead of a .45.
