Springfield XD-S: Is it the Best CCW Pistol?
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 6/27/2018 | J Hines

Our society are full of conceal-carry options.
Right now is probably considered the golden age of personal defense handguns galore for the consumer.
You can get just about any size and caliber all design to go with you anywhere.

Memory Lane
In the 80s, the Walther PPK ruled the roost, unless you were into revolvers.
The early 90s saw the introduction of the compact Glock, and just a few years later the gun industry was flooded with .380s designed for pocket carry.
Now, polymer-framed, striker-fired compacts are a popular choice, along with compact 1911s and snub-nosed revolvers.

Here are some reasons that Springfield may just have produced a winner.

-The Springfield Armory XD-S is a compact, polymer-framed, striker-fired single stack pistol.
-Physically, the XD-S sits right in between traditional compact pistols (like a Glock 30) and true subcompacts like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard or Ruger LCP.
-Single stack design, the XD-S has a frame that’s less than one inch wide (0.95 inches, to be exact). Read the rest of the Springfield XD-S pistol review here.

I don’t mind gun threads. Some are better than others.

I love my XDs in .45 Auto. It’s a dinky gun that shoots pretty good. I’m a big guy so I run the 7 round mag full of Critical Duty and one in the pipe.

Anyone who claims there is a “best” CCW does not know anything about concealed carry.
