Unlike many small pistols, the grip frame leads the shooter to an accurate first shot. It isn’t difficult to get on target quickly. It is a clean-burning loading that demonstrates good accuracy. This is a full-power 115-grain FMJ intended for practice and training. I took the pistol out just this morning as I write this and fired 100 rounds of Winchester’s Active Duty. It’s not foolproof, but it increases the odds in your favor. The XD series full-length guide rod protrudes slightly past the muzzle, providing a contact surface that takes the pressure off the slide and keeps the slide in battery. The danger is that press contact will likely push the slide out of battery, preventing the gun from discharging. During an extreme close-quarters confrontation where you might find yourself in a clinch with an attacker, it may be necessary to make a contact shot. One surprisingly under-advertised advantage built into Springfield’s XD line of pistols is its standoff capability. against a belt, boot, doorway, etc.) should one-handed slide manipulation become necessary. The rear sight has been replaced with Springfield’s serrated “tap-rack” sight, with a shelf that offers a positive surface to rack your slide (e.g. The front sight has been upgraded to a bright AmeriGlo Pro-Glo tritium sight for quick sight acquisition during day or night. The Mod.2 upgrades were chosen to perfect the XD-S for everyday carry. Yes, it looks a bit weird when the gun is not in your hand, but it’s something one should and likely will get over. Despite the prominent visual feature of the large grip safety protruding from the backstrap, I’m happy to report that it is a non-factor in running the gun. Or you might consider it for the fact that it’s one of the few modern poly-pistols that has a grip safety a feature that some find very appealing and comforting. Pull tabs on either side of the single-stack magazine allow virtually anyone to easily load the magazine to full capacity. You might also consider the 9 Shield EZ for the 8-round magazines that are extremely easy to load. It is therefore well suited to people who may have trouble manipulating the slide of other pistols. Try this with a gun that is already full-size and you’ll need to be built like Shaq to pull it off.Helpful review: "You might consider the 9 Shield EZ for the fact that it is deliberately made to be easy to rack the slide-as the spring is far softer than is found on most pistols. Kind of like this one, Glock 19 with a Holosun 407C and Modlit P元50 Take a compact 9mm and add a large weapon light, red dot, and flared magazine well and you have a substantially larger gun - one that is basically full-size. Or maybe you want to carry concealed, a compact is a great in-between size that is easier to carry than a full-size, but doesn’t have the limited capacity and practical precision of a sub-compact.Įven if you can carry a full-size gun, a compact can be easier and allow you more options. If you need a home defense gun, a compact 9mm normally comes with a 1913 rail for a weapon light and carries 15+ rounds in the standard magazine. Especially if you get one of the newer ones with backstrap inserts that let you change the grip size a bit.
