I like Tim's aka Mac's videos. He comes off as very knowledgeable yet not so full of himself as some gun reviewers are on Youtube. Plus he always has some nice gear that makes you want to go out and buy it.

Just for the record this is what I meant by "Hollywood" Grip or aka gripping the pistol low.







Saw that vid too.
Same story but reverse for me.
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.

If there's another thread for this, please let me know, but anybody have any good suggestions for a daily carry in Va?
The only real requirement I have is I want a physical safety.
It can be a compact or a sub-compact.
Oh, and I shoot 40's.
Comments?

Good gun, reliable, sub-compact; but no physical safety.
I'd be scared to carry it chambered w/o the safety.
But good start - thanks.

You could always wait for the XDS .40? It's almost guaranteed to come out...or step up to the XDS .45? lol

Actually, just did some searching - apparently, the XDS .40 should be out around August.

Or, of course, the already-out XDm Compact .40.

May I ask why you need a physical safety? The Glocks are very safe with a round chambered so long as they are kept in a holster covering the trigger guard. They cannot fire unless you willingly pull the trigger.

I carry my G26 and/or G19 and they are chambered 24/7.

If you absolutely MUST have a physical safety, take a look at the Ruger SR40C. I think the S&W M&P 40C also has a manual thumb safety.

I have a Springfield EMP.40 for carry.
It's not THAT small and it's heavy. For ME being a big guy, it fits in my jean pocket.

Also the G27 has THE WORST recoil out of any handgun I have owned, even/especially with the extended finger mag.
(I understand that if, god forbid, you had to USE it, that it wouldn't matter, BUT 99.99999999% of your shooting will be at the range, and shooting the 27 isn't pleasant to say the least)
