I'm thinking about buying one for my concealed carry gun. What are the OB's thoughts?

i dont own one but u want one. Very good price for a heck of a package that comes with it. I almosy bought one several times the past 2 months. I carrry a sig p938 and ruger lcp right now. I wanted a larger caliber without the bulky size. the xds 45 meets that!

I bought one and use it for my "truck gun". It stays in it's holster tucked between my seats. As far as the gun itself, atleast for me, it's a very smooth shooting handgun. I also have an XDM .40 and it's the same way. A friend of mine hates shooting them but, for some reason the XD series is comfortable to me.
ETA: I did have to purchase an extended mag to make it comfortable to shoot as the 5 round mag that it comes with didn't suit my hands very well. The 7 round extended magazine is perfect for my hands.

I like mine. I'm not sure xds has a wider profile than the shield. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
If the grip (with the 5 round mag) isn't quite doing it for you length wise, you can opt for the pearce extensions. Or just go with the 7 round mags.
Also, if you find the texture of the grip is a bit aggressive, give the Talon grips a try. I have them on mine, and they are great.

It looks great. That's all I can say.

I love mine and carry it daily, most of the time. I've had mine since they came out and zero complaints.

Looked at the XDS 9 4.0 today and really liked the gun. This is the new version longer barrel which give a little more stability, sight and velocity. At $569 it is a pretty good deal with all the xd accessories. (Extended mag )
Now my problem is I have wanted a CZ PO2 for a long time and now I can't decide if I want the XDs instead. Both fit what I want but the xds would carry a lot easier but has 1/2 the rounds ...

I got one with Talon grips. I love it.

The whole XD line is great. I carry my XDs 9mm. I've put thousands of rounds through it and it eats up everything I put in the mag. I won't start the caliber debate.
There are so many quality manufacturers I really believe it comes down to grip/comfort when making decisions about a daily carry gun. If the .45 helps you sleep at night and it feels good in your hand, the XDs is a great choice.
