“Springfield Armory XDS ... 45 ACP”
I expected this little .45 to kick my butt with recoil the first time I shot it, but I was surprised. The kick wasn’t bad at all, it handled a number of defense loads reliably, no malfunctions or FTF.
Like the Ruger LC 9 (nine mm) I don’t consider it a target gun or even a gun I want to shoot regularly. I would treat it as BUG, as soon as you determine you can rely on it.
And that price is a good one. I paid more, it came with a big, cool case, xtra mag, mag holder too.
I standardized on the 1911s.
I agree with the purpose of the Ruger LC 9, but I went with the KAHR CM9. The Ruger was my second choice.
I love my XDS. Try is with the Remington Ultra ammunition. Very controllable in .45 ACP.
