Works perfect for me.
Others have issues.
I have a Crimson Trace laser on mine and with a pocket holster it looks like a wallet in my front pocket.

I can't watch the video (internet sucks where I am at currently) so I don't know if this was covered in the video so.....
I wouldn't classify what my XDS does as an Failure to Feed (FTF). What happens with my XDS when some people shoot it is the slide doesn't go all the way back into battery (failure to go into battery). It is out of battery just enough to keep it from firing. (Thankfully! An out of battery discharge would suck!) To correct it only requires smacking the rear of the slide to push it the rest of the way forward. So far the cause is always due to poor grip technique. Once the poor grip technique is corrected the issue goes away. Now with some people proper grip technique is not enough like the lady in the video that Bobo was talking about. Some one with small/petite hands might have issues with the XDS (in .45 ACP). I have large/strong hands and have no issues with shooting pistols with high recoil.
The point I would like to make is if you are in the market for a XDS (in .45 ACP) I would highly suggest trying it out before getting one.
Just for review purposes....
So far I have had no cycling issues with my XDS no matter what ammo I use including +P ammo. (when I'm shooting it  ) |
Yep, you are spot on. Mac shows how by using a "limp wrist" technique how you can induce the Glock 9mm to fail to go into battery. He actually has to try very hard to induce it because he naturally fires with a firm grip. He brings up a good point in that when you are purchasing a handgun to know what you want it for. If for just target shooting then not necessarily an issue unless you can't correct your firing technique or if you are a petite female and just can't get the grip necessary. However, if purchasing for home defense or concealed carry and you are injured, that should make you pause in deciding which gun to purchase. That all goes back to your sound recommendation to fire the gun first before purchasing in order to make sure.
