Mine wants an Springfield XPS.45 for christsakes. “You’ll shoot you eye out” I say...but nothing else . will satisfy her.
The XDS.45 is very very finky to limp-wristing. I woulda sworn up both sides of a stack of bibles that I did not do that. Good thing I didn’t, because I jammed mine like crazy until someone better than me showed me a tighter grip ‘fixed’ it. No other auto I own or have tried gave me any problems so I was pretty shocked. With the XDS I had to relearn my grip. Just a warning. I still love mine. Iam guessing with the longer be barrel the 9mm version is less prone to limpwrist jams. I recommend she puts a couple hundred rounds through one before committing.
Get the XDM for more rounds and fuller grip.
