I was just giving my POV on the XDS!  |
I understand . I'm glad yours is working so well for you. I really, really wanted the XDs, from the time I called Springfield a year ago and said I was about to buy an LC9, but if they were going to release a single-stack 9mm anytime soon I'd wait...

Truth is like the finest dagger ever made;
The steel cannot be dulled, chipped or broken.
Its thrust is deep and causes agonizing pain.
Those struck with the dagger of truth
must come to terms with the wicked lies
within their heart and soul.
No matter where you run or hide, nor how deep you dig your foxhole...the big green weenie WILL find you.

Thats some nice shootin! I'm lookin for something my mom can handle. She's 74 and 5 foot nothin.
I'm not sure she has the hand strengh to rack the slide, but I'd like to see step up from a revolver.

I held and racked the M&P9c in the store and really liked the feel of it--better than the Shield, but if you're going to CC it, the Shield is much more concealable. Also the trigger is much improved over the other M&Ps with very audible reset.

I'm probably stronger than your mom, and I find the slide on the Shield harder to rack than my XD9SC and the M&P9c that I tried. I think for home protection I would go with a larger gun like one of those--also less recoil on the XD9SC, and higher capacity. If she's not going to carry it, she won't need something that small.
If she goes to a pistol, walk her through this video about racking a slide with weak hands, it really helped me when I got my first pistol:
