This is my dilemma. I had an XDs 45 when they first came out and sold it because even though I have never been recoil sensitive the XDs 45 was just to painful to shoot more than 50 rounds at a time.
So last week I purchase a XDs 9 and took it to the range last night. I expected my new XDs to be a sweet shooter seeing as how its a 9mm. Wrong, my hand was killing me at the same 50 round mark as the XDS 45. Luckily I had my XDm9 3.8 and XDm9 5.25 with me so that I could shoot them while giving my hand a break from the XDs. I fired about 100 or more rounds through the XDs and called it a night.
Now I wish I would have kept the .45acp since its an issue with the grip and not the caliber.
I'm going to keep shooting it to see if I can get use to it. If not I will be picking up a Glock G26 to take its place. I need a good small 9mm CCW for summer months and I carried a G26 for 10 years and decided to replace it with the XDs since I like my XDm's so much.
Anyone else experience this and found a solution? PRP rubber grip tape does not work, I tried that with the .45acp I had. Seems I need something to round the sharp corners so that it doesn't feel like im shooting a 9mm IPhone.
