12/3/2023 0 Comments Xds 9mm capacityI would recommend the XDs series to anyone. I am thrilled with the gun and hope everyone else likes theirs as well. Yes I used good ammo and now have Federal JSP – 95 gr loaded for SD and the range. I have only put 100 rounds thru the XDs-9 but not even a burp. We all have our unique circumstances that cause us to buy certain guns. I can even carry in cargo shorts if its a really warm day. Yes the XDs is heavier than the Kahr, Kel-tec, apparently the DB9, the 380’s etc – but in my vest it doesn’t make a difference. I live in the mountains of Colorado so you can wear a vest year round without anyone thinking anything about it. Nothing wrong with any of them – didn’t get a chance to shoot the DB9. There were lots of guns that came in 2nd. A week ago after shooting the XDs 9mm several times I settled on it. I spent several months going to a number of ranges so that I could rent and shoot a number of the guns that call themselves CCW. The first reason being the most important. That’s pretty much that with why I prefer the 9mm XDS. Summing Up: If you’re noise/recoil sensitive, $$ for ammo sensitive or just feel better with a couple extra rounds in a flush fit mag your issues have just been solved. Not only that it is generally much cheaper to shoot and for the recoil sensitive it is easier on people than a 45. (on both sides) I would think it still has to be the most commonly used pistol round in the world. In Iraq the dudes with 45’s couldn’t scrounge up ammo. I just like the cartridge and how common it is. The world over the 9mm round is available. I’d rather be winged with a 50 cal Desert Eagle over shot dead center mass with a 22lr any day, just an example of what I think concerning the tired, age old 9mm vs 45 debate.ģ. That’s why around this household we practice at least twice a week. It’s all about placement folks, always has been. Say/think what you will…the 9mm with a good bullet in it is enough for the job. The XDS 9mm holds the same number of rounds with the flush fit mag as the 45acp does with the extended mag. I’m very happy to finally see the 9mm has arrived.Ģ. I carried the 45 XDS before this one but I always hoped if I needed it I would be “done” before the darkness set in, in my head. So considering in a life/death situation there isn’t time for ear pro the 9mm is for me a better choice. The 9mm doesn’t bother me without ear pro. Internal ear damage and some extra holes punched in my skull by shrapnel from my war days have left me very sensitive to the noise and concussion of bigger rounds. If I do within 2-5 rounds I feel like I’m going to fall over and things often get grey. Due to a couple of near misses from what was probably Russian made mortar rounds I have a hard time firing a 45acp without ear pro on. I do not get to see what any individual purchases.1. The links do not change your purchase price. Should you decide to purchase something from one of those companies, I make a small commission. These links take you to the products mentioned in the article. Some of the links on this page and site are affiliate links to companies like Amazon and Palmetto State Armory. I do not charge readers a dime to access the information I provide. Otherwise, take a look at the updated Mod.2 OSP gun. If you find one at a great price, I recommend getting it. The original XDS 9mm is a viable self-defense firearm that is comfortable enough for serious training and small enough to carry most anywhere. While the company wasn’t the first to the market with a slim, single-stack 9mm pistol, the company seemed to have set the standard for it. Springfield Armory did the shooting industry a great service with the XDS line of pistols. Now the guns are all updated with an optics cut on the slide and are called the XD-S Mod.2 OSP. Through 2020, you could pick up a XD-S Mod.2 pistol in 9mm. The Mod.2 version of the XDS with a new grip texture, sights and grip safety.Įven more recently, Springfield updated the line entirely. For example, you can read our review of the XDS 45 that this 9mm pistol is based on. While the first XDS 9mm remains extremely popular, there are several other models that are available. All measurements are an average of five shots. Performance measured with a Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph at an approximate distance of 15? from the muzzle of the pistol. Here is the performance I measured on a local range: Ammunition PerformanceĪs I stated earlier in the article, the XDS had no malfunctions during any of the testing. The grip texture continued to be comfortable to use, and it continued to impress me with its ability to lock the gun into my hand when shooting. I encountered no problems during many long range sessions. I like having a bright, color-contrasting front sight, and the red fiber optic definitely does the trick.
