Sorry...been remiss in posting on this again. Returned the XDS and received a FULL refund on the gun and also on the additional mags purchased thru Springfield. As someone previously stated, never heard of getting a manufacturer refund for a gun. But Springfield did refund it. Totally...

Yea, I know. I really loved all about the gun. It should arrive tomorrow at Springfield. I'll post if anything is different than what I was told last week

The options I was given were refund, replace or credit towards another firearm - including magazines I bought from them

Refund

Well...received my XDS after another trip to Springfield for additional work. This time they replaced recoil spring and the mag release spring. Took it to the range - consistent jam on the third magazine through the rest of my time on the range. After the usual discussion (that includes me...

I really am at a loss. I always seem to logic it being related to a hang in the mags. The rounds now consistently jam nose up. Before they recut the slide, the rounds could be either nose up or nose down. Flat spring tension changes between 2nd and 3rd round. Don't know if the mags sag when...

So...received my XDS from SA after "warranty repair" on Monday. Went to the range Tuesday morning. Re-boxed and returned the XDS Jammo-Matic back to SA Tuesday afternoon to look at it again. While SA has been great on service under warranty, I have really lost any warm and fuzzy feeling for...

Absolutely!! Couldn't agree more. I have a neighbor that ran out and bought a cheap Taurus. He now hates it after shooting some of my handguns. The best advice is to find someone that has a variety of guns you think you might like and talk them into taking you out to shoot them. It helps if...

My Canik TP9SF Elite is one of my favorite guns. GREAT shooter. And as many have stated - great bang for the buck. Yea, you could spend a lot more money for the big names - but WHY when you get a great, reliable gun for hundreds less.

All nice choices, and I would even throw in an XDS, although my 45 cal might be a bit much for some. But, for a light, small, thin (and easy to conceal) handgun, might I add Walther PPS in 9mm. Love the crap out of mine. In a Sticky holster, you would really have to look to see it. Racks...

Oh, don't get me wrong. I do really like my Shield - except for the trigger. Has taken a lot to get used to. Compared to my XD 45 Tactical or my H&K VP40, the S&W leaves me wanting. Even my Walther PPS 9mm is a great gun to shoot, for a micro-Tupperware. Very accurate. Great trigger.

A lot of people have reacted to a previous comment I made about having shot +P in this gun. Not a steady diet of +P. It was only as a "try it out" to feel how the gun would like them. For what it's worth - it liked them! Was just nice to know how well they shot for when it's employed as an...

Uber reliable S&W. You can drive a tank over my 9mm Shield and it shoots. But, typical S&W - triggers suck. I know someone that just bought one of their new 10mm. Trigger felt like it was packed with sand. Has already sent it our for an upgraded trigger.

Hi All. First, let me thank you all again for suggestions on what may have been causing the misfeed problem I was experiencing with my XDS Mod 2. I had sent my firearm in for Springfield to check out. I received my notification today (not quite 3 weeks later - pretty fast in my opinion) that...

For all that have contributed, I thank you. I really am inclined to think the mags are the culprit. For the post about his 40 cal XDS, and others that have shared XDS comments, they've been appreciated. But the XDS 45 Mod 2 uses a different magazine. The original XDS mag will not fit due to...
