Seems like this will be the new one that everyone wants (besides the Shield). I have a M&P 9c that I carry, but have been looking at .45s as well. Guess I just need to pick one and stick to it.... So hard to do.
This new XDS looks pretty interesting, in a small package. Then noticed not much difference in size between the XDS and the Glock 36. What advantage does this XDS have over the Glock?

XDS looks awesome. I have heard issues with g36, dont believe its trusted like the other glocks. Those who own one please jump in.
But with the new XDs I am just not a fan of all the safety mechanisms.
The G36 had a couple glitches back when it first came out, but they have long since worked out and now has a loyal fan base. I've often considered getting one, but I am quite content with the G30SF in that role.
XDS looks a lot sexier than the Glock (what doesn't?), but I'm not crazy about the grip safety.

Glock 36?
I don't own one - I own TWO of them. Both have been absolutely reliable. One is set up as a carry piece and is my usual support side carry when I feel the need for a second gun. The other is for range work and competition.
I have no opinion on the XDs. I've never handled or shot one and will reserve judgment.

My EDC is a G36. It is absolutely reliable; I have never had a malfunction with this platform and highly recommend it. The grip safety on the XDS could inhibit one-handed manipulations so I would not go that route.

I am familiar with how grip safeties are supposed to work. I mean that the grip safety on the XD line has been known to fail and cause a 'dead trigger'.

ahhh never heard of that. I know in my XDM I've never had any issues. I could see it.

Earlier this year, I purchased a Glock 36. As of this writing, I've shot about 250 rounds with it. It have been flawless!

I like the idea of the Glock 36 but it just seems REALLY big for what it is. It's almost the size of a G19 and less than half the capacity. I also like the idea of the XDS but it almost seems a little TOO small and has even less capacity. I've come to the conclusion that (for ME) the .45 is a GREAT cartridge but it's best off in full size, high cap guns like the Glock 21 and the FNP-45. I just don't think it scales down well.

I like my G36.
Carries and shoots great.

no interest in another gun with a safety, grip safety yada, yada, yada. G36 is a great gun, and if you have not fired a 45acp out of a 20 oz gun, you are in
for a ride.
Kimbers are the guns you show your friends....Glocks are the ones you show your enemies.
