I bought one of the originals when they first came out. I really wanted to like this gun, I shot it pretty well for short periods, but that grenade texture left my hand looking like I was fighting a waffle iron. I became disillusioned in short order and ultimately sent it down the road.
I'm generally a Glock guy and my 26 or 27 are with me most all the time. I want to find another smaller .45 for carry during cooler months. I shoot the G 30 very well, but with some back issues and pending surgery to correct that, I find the 30 a bit too thick and weighty. I've tried the Shield 45, and I find it to be a great gun as well, but it just didn't stick.
Since picking up a steal on an XD.45, I began to consider trying the XDs .45 once again. The other day I found an XDs with case, 5 mags, and a holster for about $400. I'm not sure if it's a newer version or older, but I'm thinking it might be a decent choice. With the availability of Talon grips, which should provide good grip while reducing the course feel of the grenade texture, an XDs might just work out. Anything I should look at or should consider on this gun before I try and bring it home? Thanks
