The trigger is similar to any other XD or XDm, it is single action but seems like a light double action. Aka the USA Ultra Safety Assurance trigger system. But the pamphlet says the XDs has a short reset trigger "short travel along with a short reset helps to keep you on target with greater ease for quicker, more accurate follow-up shots."

The drop safety is still present just moved up closer to the breech face and is now round instead of oval. Almost in the same place that Glock has thier drop safty.

The XDs will fit in a pocket and is smaller in size than the Ruger LC9.

The XDs will come with 2 back straps
Barrel length 3.3 inch
Overall length 6.3 inch
Overall height 4.4 inch
Weight 29 oz
Slide is forged steel
Slide and barrel is melonited
Will come with two stainless mags

it say it weighs 29oz, gotta be a typo because my XD9 SC double stack is 26oz.

Is it me but am I the only one wondering WHY?

It would seem that this would be better off in a 9mm caliber than a .45.

Oh well

Cause of people that live by "a 9mm might expand but a .45 won't shrink".

Not everyone reads or believes that 9mm is an effective round for sd.

Or they just prefer single caliber and are already invested in the .45.

[ForTehNguyen]

they will come out with other calibers later. Pocket .45 single stack makes more headlines than a pocket single stack 9mm, even though the 9mm is the one that will sell

Because money is made off of imbeciles in the gun world.... If you target intelligent customers, you'll go broke quick.

Someone here pointed out the top 10 guns sold by large retailer... and the list was essentially 10 guns you'd never buy if you had a full functional brain.

I thought S&W working on a single stack M&P?

[KCBRUIN]

Let's see about the same thickness as the cylinder on my J frame. Looks like it might be small enough for pocket carry, and hold one more round then my J frame with faster/easier reloads. It's in the caliber I'm forced to carry on duty, and the caliber I choose to use for HD. I'd have just one caliber to buy/reload/train with.

I'd have to be an imbecile to even consider this

I kind of thought the same thing, though my reason what so that you'd have a grip long enough to hold on to. Now if they can get their price point below the $550 mark which used Glock 36s are going for around where I am then you might have a real nice seller. Wonder if they plan on a single stack 9mm or .40 down the road? If they bring that out they might do some real damage to Glock's market share, though I doubt I am the first to say that.
