Finally purchased the gun I've been looking for 
Bought it at Bass Pro in Denham Springs
had to wait the mandatory waiting period ...Anyone have experience with applying for a UPIN?
This is the 2nd time I've had to wait to purchase a handgun
Thanks
can't wait to shoot it!

There is no mandatory wait period. There is a delay while the NICS does more extensive background check on about 40% of purchasers, but it isn't a mandatory wait period.
Also, UPIN costs like 20 bucks and it is just filling out some paperwork and mailing it off
ETA, sweet freakin piece . How much did it run ya?

unless you are a tPOS like me.. then they have to sort through past discrepancies

I knew I shouldn't have said "mandatory waiting period".. It seems I have a mandatory waiting period when it comes to purchasing guns.
This was $469 out the door (I had 2 $100 gift cards I've been holding onto for this purchase)

Nice. Is it pretty concealable as far as .45s go?
Posted on 6/18/13 at 10:23 am to CadesCove
Absolutely. You hardly notice it. This is my EDC piece

Did that holster come with it? I know nothing about springfields, is this a quality piece? I need a new CC .45 Did they have any more in stock? Hard to find them?

That holster comes with it, but it's pretty crappy. I bought a Foxx holster (hybrid type) and really like it.
The foxx holster is $39 with free shipping. I got it 4 days after I ordered it. I also have one for my XD 45.
The gun is solid. For me, it shoots about an inch lower than my XD45 (maybe it's just me). The grip is pretty small with the 5 round mags and my pinkies hang off the end. My wife ordered me two 7 round mags for Father's Day and I'll try them out when they come in.
The gun has some pop to it, but nothing crazy. All around, solid piece that I am very comfortable carrying.

If I hit him an inch lower than I'm aiming with that, he'll probably be still anyway.
I am seriously considering one.

There is an 800 number you can call and dispute your hold-ups. I used to get a delay. A buddy of mine who was a dealer gave me the number. I called it, waited 3 weeks, bought a gun, viola; no wait.
Sorry don't have the number anymore, this was years ago. You should be able to ask any FFL, surely they know who to call.

You will not be disappointed with the XD-S .45 , just be sure to go to the range after you get it and practice with it some. If your not used to shooting a smaller framed handgun with a large caliber it's good to get used to it

Yeah, I'd like to put some rounds through one before I buy. I have a S&W 4506, but it is pretty sizable. My smaller carry guns are 9mm and .380. Not a good comparison.

Pearce grip extensions for the stock mags are all you need.
I also purchased the extended mags as well but found I dont care for them in the CC role. Plus if 5 rounds of .45 dont put them down then an extra two wont matter. :)
The grip ext on stock mags made a WORLD of difference and should be considered mandatory for this pistol
Love mine. Hell of an accurate gun for a subcompact

Yep. Standard, included, holster is worthless.
