I had an XD-S in .45. With 3.3" barrel. I always shot low left with it. I got so frustrated with it that I traded it in. I believe it was that particular gun. I could not afford a defense gun that I knew wasn't going to hit where I aimed it. I have friends who shoot the XDS with no issues. Now my P-938 is a different story. It goes where I point it. Sights or no sights, it is in the middle of the target. I've been very impressed with the 938s I've shot. I highly recommend that they be given a chance when someone is looking for a CCW in 9mm. It often rides in my pocket where the beretta 21A used to live. I never suggest others carry the way I carry, but I do pass on info as to what I have enjoyed and feel comfortable shooting. My wife has a pretty little Kimber in .380. It is very close to the 938, except pretty. When we introduce female friends to shooting; after a magazine or 2 in the buckmark, the kimber is used to see if that size and type would work for them. 9mm is a little snappy in that size pistol, but make a better defence round. So, if they decide they like the .380, we step up the trying it on to 9mm. I always talk them into trying a 1911 in 45 after that with the promise that it will not be snappy but more of a push or shove. Yes, I do make a snub nose .357 available with a lot of warnings and the pros for it.
I got the honor in Northern Illinois of introducing a K-9 officer's wife to shooting. She always refused to shoot his guns with him. I asked her one day what she would do if he was targeted and taken down while with her and the kids. It got her thinking. My next question was about how proficient she was with his side arm. The next week end we were all out in the country with my wife shooting different pistols till I walked over and took his Glock and handed it to her. She proceded to nail the 5 gallon buckets we had been shooting.
I wish I was rich enough to pass out 938s like stocking stuffers at Christmas.
