Damn! Now I have a Dilemma...

The XDS is just too "Glocky" for me. I've looked at it several times. I think I'll stick with metal even if it is MIM.

I screwed that up last year when I let one go at the LGS. KICK,KICK,KICK!!!
I looked at a New agent today, used for $865, was tempted but the mag wouldn't release and the safety was all gritty. They didn't want to dicker either, I think I'll keep looking.

This is my problem, I'm working on getting over it, but it ain't easy. NO MORE MIM for me!!!

I have a lot of nice 1911's that I still love and carry, but the XDS .45 is no where close to blocky . It's a small accurate shooting cannon - a great small summer carry. Go shoot one and make up your own mind. I'll let you all know how the 9mm shoots when it comes in Friday. It will be passed on to my bride. (when she catches me). Sure honey, I was just breaking it in for you first.

A good choice. I agree with completely. The only pistols on my belt or in my safe are steel, and very well crafted. Not all customs and the like - some off the shelf - but all things I'm proud to carry and in which I feel completely confident.
