I was just wondering what everyone thought of the Springfield XDS in 9mm for a small carry gun?

Aren't those things made in Croatia by a former communist company that puts springfield's name on them?

Isn't this the same gun that got recalled a year ago and most people are still waiting for the factory to return ?

Is this the reason a prominent OC activist switched from a POS to a G17?

It was recalled at the very end of October. Many have already received theirs back, and most will have received theirs by Christmas.

My XD-S .45ACP is still at Springfield. I really like mine.

I still carry my XDm mostly. Still tweaking the trigger on the G17. I switched because I don't like the blackstrap safety.

G17?  You'll shoot your eye out with that.

Actually it'll shoot your eye out for you. No user interface necessary.

If your only issue with the XDm is the grip safety why not just pin it?
