By Request: Springfield XD(s) 9mm

January 18, 2013

As requested last night, here are some pictures of the new Springfield XD(s) 9mm version. Just like the 45ACP version, but with a smaller barrel.

Note to manufacturers: black guns on a black background may look posh, but trying to photograph them sucks.

No info? MSRP? Capacity?

I was hoping they would have come out with an ambidextrous slide release.

  now Hickock45 needs to do a xds(9mm) vs. lc9

    I think the PPS would be a more direct comparison myself.

      I had a PPS for a short time. Did not like the double action andtrigger pull.. I do have a Kimber suprer carry ultra plus, a 45 cal,3″ bbl, No comparison! The ultra shoots well with 230gr ammo.

      The XD(m) in 9mm is a blast to shoot. Surprised me when shooting from 25yds. Pretty accurate ” out of the box”.

I’ll stick with my XDm, thank you…

18 + 1 in the pipe…

Take that, NY! 🙂

  The first time filled two mags and put one in the pipe, I was giddy.

    I always say, better to have too many and not need, rather than having too few and getting royally SCREWED!

      Way to go, guys, but I like concealability in my concealed carry weapon.
      
      But Foghorn, I say-I say Foghorn, what’s the capacity on the 9mm, 6+1 or 7?

Well, that’s different.

I shot the .45 version a few days ago, and I really liked it. Of course, I have an XD(M) 3.8 in .40, so I would…

Gun-gasm.

Nice.

I love my XD .45 and would not mind this one for CC, but, that first pick looks like the results from a long night of JD, Metamucil, and corn dogs.

  You mean Bingo Night at the Lions’ Club?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Two of these would make a great New New York Reload…

Nice, I’ve been waiting for a M&P Shield 9mm, but I’ll be picking one these up if they become available before the shield I’m waiting for arrives.

Sweet.
Mike Wandrick January 19, 2013 At 11:20

How does it compare to a Kimber super carry ultra?
JK January 20, 2013 At 00:24

I’d buy one in a heartbeat if it didn’t have that grip safety…
- Matt in FL January 20, 2013 At 01:14
  
  That doesn’t make sense. Have you shot one? I have, and I’m not sure I’d be comfortable carrying something with that trigger without a grip safety. Or at least an external, but that requires muscle memory.
- Mike. Wandrick January 20, 2013 At 10:51
  
  Have shot EMP, Kimber Pro Cary and the Super Carry Ultra, several hundreds times. Never had any problem shootng. Feel safer carrying, condition One, knowing I have a grip safety as “extra protection” when drawing and pointing at my ” junk” with a weapon loaded and cocked and 230gr ammo. ( a misstep could ruin your day)
