OK. Just received the email from SA that the XDs 4" in 45acp in now available. I have the 3.3" in 45. The question is why is there a need to have the same gun 0.7 inches longer? Is there an admittance that there is some deficiencies in the original design?
My wife does have some problems sometimes with her XDs, 45: failures to fire and failures to feed. She is 5' 4" in height, slender, but to strengthen herself, she does hit the weights pretty vigorously with me at the gym. A very competent gunsmilth recently told her that the problem may be because she is not gripping the gun securely enough to allow the XDs to cycle properly. If true, the problem is with her and not the gun.
In any event, she now wonders whether SA has lengthen the XDs to add weight to combat some of the recoil and reduce her kind of problems.
Any thoughts on any of these questions? Thanks!
