As of last week, my distributors told me they aren't in production yet, and Springfield hasn't given any expected date for first production runs. There were two prototypes made. One was left at Springfield for photos, etc., the other was sent out to gun writers for review. When we were reading the magazine articles, they were still actually making design modifications. I could sell a dozen of these today, if I could get them. Hurry up and wait. Looks like a neat little pistol, though.

I realize this is a fairly old thread, but I have handled them and they feel amazing in my hands. They are slightly slimmer then a 1911 and offers a very firm grip. A friend has one and he swears by it, but honestly I swear by Spingfields. I love many guns for what they are intended. But when I'm looking I always study the Springfields.

this thread is a good example of how announcements get out and REALITY sets in 9-10 months later
its on the cover of this months american rifleman magazine
at least a few have handled it

Had mine for 4 mos now at least. I love it and it's great for CC.

I've had mine for a couple months. It shoots to POA, feeds at least 3 different brands of ammo, and hand loads, and is more pleasant to shoot than you might think. I took my Kahr K-40, last time, to compare it with, and I actually prefer the XDs.

I would recommend it to anyone who shoots a sub-compact well, and doesn't mind just having 6 rounds.

Yes, I have one. It has some snap but it is controllable. You will love it, I shot different loads and it fed all of them without any issues.

Love the XDS yes with some 230 ball in it it does have some snap but nothing like you would think for a gun it's size. Try some 185 or 200 in it and it is a pure joy to shoot. I have shot 9's that were much less pleasurable. I tried some of my light 1911 target loads in it and wow an awesome accuate little gun great job Springfield.

I just got mine yesterday. I can't wait to shoot it. How does it compare to the xd45
