Love it... might have to pick one up myself... my wife hates you for this.

check out fsn cal45 has a two tone at a good price, btw i love mine over my kahr and glock 45's and if you remember I love my kahrs!

just remember it needs a good break in and to only load it open slide, don't sling shot it right away.

From the specs, it is about the exact same size as a Glock 26/27 - though a hair thinner. It also lists as being heavier (I'm assuming the weight listed is unloaded). Yet it carries only 6 rounds, vs 11 for the G26 (9mm) and 10 for the G27 (.40).

I understand the allure of this gun for the .45 crowd (I have a G30 so spare me) but IMHO there are better choices out there. YMMV.

The Glock is nearly 0.2" more thick than the XDs.. That translates to A LOT more thin. I've held both of them, and I'm not too sure how you think that the Glock 26 is similar in size. To each his own. I'm actually in the market for a Glock 26 gen4 right now

Springfield has a 7 round may available now, I just picked one up last weekend, 8 rounds of 230gr speer gold dots for my EDC load out with 2 five Rounders in my pocket.

Gratz on the new purchase and welcome to the skinny .45 club

Awesome. You will be very happy with this. Happy shooting.

Ditto. I have a Glock30 and the XDs seems ittty bitty next to it. It's about as thin as a Walther PPS the Kate Moss of conceal pistols.

I would like to see this design in other calibers like the .357SIG, I'll wait to check the 9mm version when it comes out.

It's more than just a hair thinner.

I've been carrying mine for a couple of months now. Can't wait for the Pearce extension to hit the market!
