rossislider Report post Posted January 7, 2013 I currently own a 45 XD Tactical and love it, but have been looking for a concealment pistol. I have been considering the M&P Shield in 40 S&W due to its size, weight, and various other features. The other day I started reading about the XDS 45. The weight and dimensions are very comparable to the M&P Shield. It is about the smallest 45 I have seen and only hold one round less than the M&P Shield. But, this brings up a concerns about recoil on such a small gun. Does anyone have any experience with this particular Springfield model than can give me their general opinion and thoughts on the recoil? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
