Springfield Armory XD-S, .45ACP single stack 5+1

[shua713]

Personally, I am pretty excited about this gun. On hot summer days when you need something small. Still packing a 45.

So around $400 from an LEO distributor is a possibility I'd think.

I chose the Rugers because that's the most common pocket pistol I see around here. (I forgot about Kel Tec) Weight seems ridiculous, but it measures up well everywhere else IMO.
Edited to add KelTec. I'm not a KelTec fan that's why I forgot. Can't argue with their ability to make cheap, light, hi cap pistols tho.

I really hope the single stack M&P comes to fruition. This is a style of gun that we need more of.

I'd like a single stack M&P line as well so hopefully this sells well.

That weight has to be a typo. A fully loaded G36 weighs 27oz and that's 6+1. The reps are giving that weight in the SHOT booth videos too.

I got the chance to handle this weapon today at the Springfield booth and, although I may be a little partial to SA because I own a few, I like this little gun. It feels excellent in hand and it has a great grip angle. It points very well. I could defintely see myself purchasing this for a summer gun. Just my 2.

A XD... I'll pass, actually run.

Why is that?

I like the idea but if the weight is accurate that would be a concern of mine if I were to try and pocket carry.

As to why? A Springfield rep said that everyone has micro 9mm's and .380's. They wanted to be different.
