I own the XDs 9 mm. Love it. But I could never understand why so many people dislike the grip safety. When I holster the gun, I feel more comfortable knowing that the safety is engaged preventing accidental discharge. Anyone agree?
The primary reason why I bought my xds 9mm was because of the grip safety-in my opinion the grip safety will aid in proper hand position when using it, and I am afraid of accidental discharge
I love the grip safety concept. You don't have to think about it other than getting a proper grip. Like you, I like an extra measure of safety.
I dislike grip safeties, but love the large lever safeties on HK USPs. I also feel more comfortable having a safety engaged. I expect 99.99% - 100.00% of my time owning a firearm I will never have to use it. However, I don't want to worry/wonder about if my safety is actually disengaged or not. I want it to be easy to disengage and blatant that it is disengaged. What scares me more than grip safeties, though, are the ultra-low profile and difficult to use one I saw on a (albeit poorly maintained) Sig firearm.
stevebean1234 Safety on a Sig? Was it an SAO? Otherwise there's only the de-cocker and the slide release.
Unerring 01 Woah! The P220 decocker is not also a safety after all. Poor assumption and/or poor research on my part. Operating that lever at the range was such a pain, though, I didn't experiment with it enough.
A better example of a pistol I liked but struggled with the safety is the Ruger SR9c. It seemed just as tough as the P220 decocker, except it's also positioned in the middle of the meaty part of your thumb (between the two knuckles). It took some contortionism to get that off. Yeah, Id still like a manual safety, but not that one...
Downside to the HKs I referenced is that the safety levers protrude quite a bit.
Trust your government; they are only there to help you. They know best what will save lives. No, wait a minute, I could be wrong there, but I KNOW I'm correct when I say that they definitely know best how to get reelected and how to appeal to the masses of people who live an "emotion-based," low-information life! :-)
Amen. I just purchased this firearm today and I love it.
Means more today than ever
You’re comment stands true. God Bless You Hickok45
The XDS ended up being my first firearm purchase. I'm a military member in Georgia and I was able to get my carry permit before I was 21. I'm thankful I can carry and protect myself at 19 because of my service. Thanks so much for what you do for our 2nd Amendment.
so military members need protection from... what? Your service brings zero risks when you are out of service
i appreciate your fight with our gun carry laws .. kudos.
I will carry one regardless of what the laws says....
Just got my XDs 9mm! Spent months researching and trying different guns out, but Hickock definitely influenced my choice. It is such a wonderful gun that shoots accurately and has incredible safety features. The BEST concealed carry weapon without a doubt.
I watched this video (and several others) four years ago when I was looking for a daily carry. I bought it shortly afterwards and been happy with it for conceal purposes. Thank you for helping me make my decision with your demos.
My XDS-9 3.3 has become my everyday carry. Its one of those guns that i picked up & naturally shoot it accurately. The grip with the pinky extension on the 7 round mag made a huge difference on it. I can hold it on target when rapid firing. Follow-up shots are on point every single time. The recoil on the xds is very manageable. It seems to recoil straight back & has little to no muzzle flip. The grip safety & trigger safety gives me a great peace of mind while carrying it with one in the chamber. I was going to order a talon grip for it, but im afraid to change up anything beyond the pinky extension. DeSantis makes a great IWB holster for the xds. Its the most comfortable kydex holster ive tucked in my waist!! Currently waiting for my leather owb holster to arrive in the mail. Im not real fond of my evening walks leaving sweat all over my pistol 😂😂
Thanks for the super video. I like how you're not afraid to say the pros and cons and you're not trying to sell the pistol. Just a honest review.
Purchased this used, after watching your review I feel even better about my choice to go XDs, thanks!
Did you see the "thickness" comparison with the other guns in the video?
You sir are the best gun reviewer.
I've carried my XD-S 9 everyday for 3 years now in my pocket of my jeans at work out on the town vacation everywhere and I love it I forget its there it's so skinny and with liberty civil defence 50 grain +p hollow points feather light!
Just bought my SF XDS 9MM today. I know nothing about this gun except it's so much smaller then my Sig P320 full. I can't wait to shoot this one. Very good price, not only that, but Springfield has this awesome deal going on right now. First when you buy this gun it already comes with 2 mags but you go onto there site and give serial # and copy of recpt. they will give you 4 more mags, a single two mag carrier, and a holster for free until June. So for $399.99 (that's what I paid at my local store.) you get all that. Not bad. So to hear you like this gun makes me even more happier I bought it.
dinman68 Glock owner here and very impressed with how XDS 3.3 shot. I did better than I expected first time ever shooting it (any Springfield) at about 10 yards.
I have to be honest now. I did finally shoot the springfield after this post and I need so much practice. I sucked so bad. I shoot like I play golf, if you are standing right in front of me I wont hit you with the golf ball or bullet, but you stand to the side of me and watch out I'll get you. lol not really funny, but I need help on how to stand, look, and aim. whole deal I guess. Glad you did well with it though.
"Why are we here? Oh, the existential question"
We're here to watch Hickok do his thing!
Just bought one as my first firearm! I love the way it feels, despite wanting to go with a full-size handgun since I have bigger hands. Conceals well, so far.
Dude ur the Thee coolest i would recomend the
Whole series of comparisons to anyone who wants to practice our right to own a gun...keep up the good work hick love u man😎😎😎
27 minute video? Man that's the perfect length, I get to learn about the gun, see it being shot, and learn other random thing I never knew. Keep it up!
I had the chance to get my hands on one of these the other day. I was surprised at how well the grip felt in the hand. Thanks for the work you and John do. I really enjoy your videos.
I bought the XDS 9mm 3.3 after comparing it closely with the M&P Shield 2.0. The XDS just has so many more features built in, plus it came with 4 mags, and a lot more in the box.
No mush, just a light, crisp break.
My personal favorate handgun all around conceal carry, home defense etc...love it!
I have an XD. It was actually the first gun I ever bought. My second gun I ever owned. It's a XD40. Same as a 9mm but just a different barrel I believe.
I'm not a gun nut BUT I have heard some gurus say that the XD40 barrel is better than the Glock 23 barrel. As far as being able to handle hotter rounds and be able to handle those rounds longer.
I absolutely love it.
I have a S&W 640 2" barrel 5 shot .38 Special+P pocket rocket.. (inherited from gpa)
Then lastly I have a TISAS 1911 A1 U.S. Army. 5" barrel 8+1 or 7+1 .45 ACP+P
You're the best Hickok45-the only videos I ever watch!! Really like your teaching style and "the compound" is awesome- nothing surpasses your shooting and years of knowledge!!
I am a 1-arm pistol shooter and lead a team of disabled shooters, wounded warriors, and others. It's fun to show them that life does go on after injury and yes you can still shoot from a wheelchair!! Keep the videos coming!!

Hello Sire have you looked at HandiRacker on RUclips yet. My dad made it for persons with similar problems. Hope it helps you out.
This is probably going to be my next firearm purchase. Maybe in bi-tone!
I think the fde edition is hideous.
I've actually been very conflicted about this issue. I want to conceal carry it so I was thinking it might be a bad idea to get the stainless slide for whatever reason. Black guns always work though!
For sure, for the last 4 years I've worked in a non air conditioned warehouse in the summer, sweating my nads off.
Haha!
+Hunter Jordan You are insane. Seeing how beautifully clean my FNX 45 in stainless can get after 750 rounds at the range is one of the best parts!
Picked one up today. Surprised by how good of a shooter it is. Very nice trigger and enough weight to keep it on target. I can definitely shoot it better than the Shield.
Ran through the first 100 rounds of cheap range ammo with no problems.
Basically, I get it at the wholesale price, or "used gun" price. After all, it IS used after we play with it for a month or so. :-) So, I might save about a hundred bucks, unless you count the three hundred bucks worth of ammo I put through it. :-)
I was hell bent on not only getting a 1911 for my first gun, but if i got a smaller 9 I wouldn't get one without an external safety, but this was my first gun at 9mm and its really a nice easy solid gun. The grip safety is just enough for a beginning concealed carry to be confident in the mechanics to carry with one in the chamber. Great price, great gun. Thanks for the video
just bought one of these bad boys today! so very happy with it so far. and on the plus side springfield sent me 2 extra mags and a mag pouch and soft carry case.
I like Hickok45's videos, long, or short.. Stress relieving, educational, and fun.. :)
Hickok, knowing that your coming to Philadelphia has just completely made my day! I watch your videos every single day! I just moved last week from PA to NJ and I found out I can't even carry my gun unless I'm on my way to a range, unless of course I want to spend 7 years in jail! Some of these laws are just ridiculous! But anyway, I will 100% see you there, and I want to truly say thanks for all these videos, they've become such a constant joy in my life
Very cool, the XDS is a great gun.
"sounded like it hit something. i guess they all hit something" Hickok, you crack me up sometimes. haha!
Very helpful review hickock! So glad I live in Arizona and can enjoy this fine firearm.
My very first firearm, perfect for conceal carry
That was a great video...I just bought this same gun and just love it! Thank You for educating me even more about the Springfield XD9
Thanks a lot! I'm taking shooting classes now. Today I went to the shooting range and learned how to handle and shot a .38 revolver. It was very fun. Thursday I'm going to learn and shot with the semi-automatic .380 pistol.
I love the back strap safety on the XD's which is the primary reason I choose them over Glock.
I"m from the school of thought that the 1911 is the most perfect battle pistol of all time and therefore applying anything from that system to polymere wonders is choice in my opinion.
So nice to see the trees with all their leaves at the compound. Makes it look so nice. The dead trees in winter sadden me. Summer shooting at the compound just seems like it would be the best summer ever.
Bought mine a few weeks ago, but in 4" barrel. Bi-tone and beautiful~~ Shoots great! Love it.
Exactly, and for some of us who live in urban areas the reduced penetration through doors and walls etc. is actually a plus as it reduces the risk of collateral damage.
This guy never runs out of guns.
I just bought one in FDE. It will be my Spring/Summer EDC. My Ruger SR1911 Lightweight Commander-type in 9MM will be my Fall/Winter EDC.
I carry the XDs 45 everyday and I absolutely love this gun. Love how it shoots and handles.
No one said a 1911 commander wouldn't be a great gun, but the XDS is significantly smaller. If you're looking for something super small, it's a great option.
The xds was my first firearm purchase, it shoots nice for a sub-compact. The recoil is a lot higher than a full size 9mm though. I shot my xds at the range and right after I shot my friends H&K, which was a full size 9mm, and compared to my xds, it felt like it had no recoil.
I got a chance to handle a XDS with a 4" barrel the other day, my first experience with a XD. I gotta say I love how it felt in the hand. I really shouldnt allow myself to go into gun shops because i can never "just look"....It's on my list now
4:47 - Did you really just get philosophical on us there? ;-)
I love the XDs 9mm 4.0. It's the handgun I have liked the most out of all the ones I have owned.
Everything is right about this gun.
Great video agian. Hate I missed the murfreesboro gun show.
I have no experience with this weapon but this was an enlightening video. Interesting ease of taking it down with that use of the lever. Interesting and informative. Always look forward to watching these with my coffee in the morning.
Hickok. You must have been in a charitable mood. You let a 2 liter live to see another day.
Thanks hickok45 for a great review. I have been waiting for this pistol since Springfield came out with the XDS 45 which has been my every day carry since it came out. I am a huge 9mm and this gun is everything that I was hoping for and so much more. Your reviews are always spot on.
"They all hit something unless you shoot it into space." Hickock just blew my mind.
Mr Hickok45 thanx I didn't even know they came up with a 9mm xds, that's definitely my next gun
I bought the XDS .45 I love it! I have five different handguns to carry.You know what i mean depended on what we are wearing and comfort. I guess people who like the .9mm will love the way it shoots and how accurate it is.I like the PM9
This dude had the sweetest job ever!
XD-S .45 has been my favorite EDC since I got it. Question: have you tried the 9mm with a few holsters made for the .45? I assume it should be a fit, but it would be good to hear for sure.
I've had mine for 2 years . Got 2 -7 round mags, and 1-8 round and 1-9 round mag. Plus a Springfield carry bag.
Watching Hickok makes me want to go out and shoot mine now.
He's kind of a big deal in the firearm community. Glad to see he got his hands on one! I'm sure Springfield is pumping them out as fast as possible.
Can't.... wait.... Thanks so much for the review! Glad you got to share your closer look with those of us patiently on waiting lists for an EDC.
I got mine today and I totally love it
god i wish we could get small pistols like this in Canada, but unfortunately in Canada handguns with barrels shorter than 105mm are illegal to own for most people(in practice almost everybody).
Sovereign is correct in that 45 is a lower pressure round. Additionally, the maximum pressure is not contained by the barrel, but the chamber. For manufacturing reasons, the frame is probably as similar as possible between the two calibers, which leaves some metal that is essentially "filler" when using a smaller caliber.
"they all hit something, unless you shoot them into space-and then I guess they would go on for quite a while."-Hickock45 (awesome)
Shot the xds 9 last weekend, while it did have a trigger job it was a fantastic shooter.
I for got to mention, My 40 also shot to the left, I looked at the rear sight and it was just a little off center to the left. I used a sight pusher and moved it just a tad to the right which centered it on the gun and it now shoots straight. Those sights are super tight.
OOH! You got the new 9mm XDs?
SWEEET!
I'm SO jealous.
Thanks for the video.
I'm gonna watch it again, and drool.
I like what you said that its a right all of us our fighting for...we all have to stick together not just as Americans but human beings!
I 100% agree with you. The Kahr PM9/CM9 is pushing the envelope for pocket carry. Are there more comfortable pocket guns, yes. But it's the largest caliber and size that will fit the bill in a reliable and controllable platform. If you're gonna carry IWB, might as well grab a double stack pistol. The largest caliber/size pistol to fit the bill just got broader.
Great informative video!!! I am an XDM fan, but I only have one. It is a 4.5 9mm and it shoots well even with some operator deficiencies!!! I always look forward to your videos, because they are clear, concise,down to earth and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!!!!!
The Kahr PM9 is king as far as carry 9mm's go. You can't beat the size and concealibility of it. Probably not the most reliable out there for a carry gun but mine has been flawless.
As always, great review, analysis and comparison! I just got my XDs-9mm today, can't wait to shoot it! Thanks
After watching all your Xds and xd mod 2 videos about 10 times and everyone else on RUclips maybe 2 or 3 times trying to decide which one as my carry I find am now just seating hear listening to those wonderful bird songs in the background, most be losing my mind but as a history teacher not sure i had one to lose in the first place oh well put both in my hand and make the call
Ps been watching you vids for 5 years and love it always, very helpful . . . cheers
I'm in the same boat trying to decide on the xds or MOD 2. I think I might go with the MOD 2. the capacity is nice and I feel it will fit my hand a bit nicer
conceals great for me mostly down hear in Florida, and yes mod 2 much nicer in the hands
Man it's really going to be hard for me also because I wear tighter fitting clothes. I think I'm just gonna have to watch the videos again 100 times lol
Helps with the mud. We've had downpours the last three weekends, it seems. I could extend the gravel further down the range, but then it's not ideal having bullets striking gravel. Unpredictable things can happen there. :-)
I surprised that Talon Grips hasnt sponsored you yet! I think about every video you talk about them! Love your videos! i always look for one before i buy a new gun!
I have them both and prefer a 9mm. The 9mm feels like it is a little heavier in your hand however shoots amazing. The trigger is nicer for sure.
I'm very glad to see all the green on the trees!
Those 2 liters got even more nervous when they saw all those hollow points being dropped into that bowl.
I enjoy watching the seasons come and go on the compound. Things are definitely green and beautiful now. Time for a woods walk to check for those two liter varmints.
No joke, you have the best responses to haters that ive ever seen.
Pennsylvania LTCF's are available to both residents and non-residents and are valid for 5 years. For residents, the applications are handled by their county sheriff's office, with the exception of Philadelphia where they are handled by the Gun Permits & Tracking Unit of the Philadelphia Police Department. It should be noted that permits issued by one county must be honored by all counties including Philadelphia regardless of rumors to the contrary.
I just picked this gun up tonight.
I held a xds 45 in gun shop--it felt great, but I am no grip safety fan. I can't say I won't get one though. I have a PM9 to fill the 9mm pocket carry needs.
thanks for the video
We really enjoy your reviews. Keep up the great work. You are definitely my guy to watch before we buy. Thank you
Every gun i look up, i am likely to find a preview of the gun from you
It was a pleasure meeting you Sat in Philadelphia. You are the real deal. Love your channel, keep up the great work. Congrats on your retirement.
I'm pretty much sold on this gun. Thanks so much for the reviews. I've watched many of the vids and you are definitely the greatest reviewer. If I could I would fly from Florida just to shoot one full magazine with you man.
I'm so excited to own one of these 9mm pistols. I love it in 45 too, but the 9 just seems perfect.
Handled a bunch of carry guns at the store today. The XDs was the only one that felt like I might be able to shoot well. It's pretty small too!
That said, I don't know if I'm really ready to carry. It seems like a daunting thing to get into.
+Pugsgunsandstuff Education is key. Whatever you decide to buy, DRY fire practice and safe holstering...It needs to become second nature. Get to know your particular gun/model as well as you can. Look for a good range as well.
+Pugsgunsandstuff I started with a CPL course and several other handgun courses at a couple of the ranges nearby. I had some great teachers with solid experience (LE and military).
Of course...If Hickok45 wanted to start teaching in the classroom again, I think we would all sign up....
About the width - I have an XDM 45 Compact 3.8 and an XDS 45. That 0.1 inch difference makes a very noticable difference when carrying. Especially you are doing IWB. I actaully can use an OWB holster to carry the XDS around conncealed well - while the XDM prints so much more.
I Have the xds 9 and still want to get a shield (.40) despite the fact that they are so close in size..shield is a couple ounces lighter and a hair thinner. The new upgraded trigger on the shields is the best trigger Ive ever squeezed. (upgraded in Jan 2014 I believe)
Great video as always! Can't wait to get one of these for the summer. Springfield is running a great promotion right now and I'll be buying one soon.
jonathan peres Mainly Glock owner here..very impressed with how XDS 3.3 shot. I am more accurate with it than Shield. One thing, it's a single-stack but not THAT much smaller than my G23. It is lighter due to less/smaller rounds. I don't think you can go wrong.
I had the Custom Shop do the carry package upgrade. Well worth the cost. Better trigger, tuned, night sights.
That's right. We won't ever give up the 2nd.
0:00-0:01 quick draw... hickok is legend
Father in law has a XDS and he loves it.
Yeah OP was saying that .45 has more energy than 9mm because it's faster when it isn't and speed isn't even the only factoring variable.
Man I read all the complaints about right to carry...I am thankful I live in Florida :)
I almost picked up a shield today but I'm glad I didn't. I've been waiting for the xds 9mm!!! Whoop whoop!
Yeah, I hear you... I still favor the .45, but the 9mm version is also tempting to me. It'd be a good option.
Xds9 inside my waistband right now, thumbs up Hickok45!
