New XD-S

6 rounds though... ehhh Ill stick with my 27.

I don't see the problem with 6 rounds, plenty of ppl carry revolvers which are mostly 5-6 rounds and don't have a problem with it, if ur in a situation where you need much more than that, GTFO of that situation

Amen!

Fired the XDS yesterday. Snappy, but not as punishing as I thought a two-finger lightweight .45 might be. Reminded me a lot of my G36 in terms of shooting; much more comfortable than the PM45. Great sights, and a nicer trigger than the XD/XDM (reminded me of the Walther PPS, but softer). Springfield is probably going to sell a boatload of these.

Agreed, however I dont carry a revolver either (for the same reason + increased recoil due to the absence of slide motion).

If you need more than 6 rounds you are probably boned, but I carry a firearm for the SMALL chance I will need it... same goes for the other 4 rounds in the 27 (not to mention 15+1 in the 22 )


One other downside to this (much like the glock 36) is that you cant interchange mags nor could you carry an extended magazine (unless the plan on making extended grip mags like the compact models.


It all comes down to opinion though, I'm not trying to be rude or flame the XD (I say the same for the g36). Just giving my .02

I get what ya mean, but I don't feel any less safe carrying 8 rounds of .45 in my 1911 compared to the 13 rounds of 40 in my xdm

6 rounds of .45 =6 cars coming at you(not really but thats a big chunk of lead)! I think it will be fine for me. Now, How the hell will I be able to wait until March for this thing?

Where and how? That's epic! I consider my PF9 to be pretty snappy, are you able to compare it to one of those?

Right, but shot placement is key. What if you miss... what if there are multiple targets? I still think 6 is enough, just not for me.

I also carry a grenade launcher, I'll be fine!

Hahaha, yes here is always a chance I'll miss but i feel confident enough that if I have to make a shot i'll get close.

Sir Bradis has spoken!

Thanks for confirming what I believe as well

P.S. - Words can't describe how jealous I am that I didn't get to fire one of those =P

I would hope that after firing 6 shots i might be in a positon to reload. I can't imagine the perp sticking around long after that many rounds being fired but then again the perp could be jacked up on drugs and/or alcohol. Amazing what a person will do in that condition. This is a debate i myself keep going back and forth about and the conclusion i keep drawing is it's better to be on the side of safety with more capacity.

Although i'll be renting one of these just to draw a final conclusion. Interesting firearm to say the least.

So, have you set a selling price for them yet? Are you taking preorders? I am ready to reserve one somewhere and would rather it be with you than somewhere online.

Nice. I read somewhere about them beginning mass production / shipping in March or April (Q1~Q2) this year. Will try to find a link

Perfect. Just enough time to stash away a few bucks to get one.
