Being new to this whole "gun" thing (after years of members egging me on, I'm a Lutheran pastor), I now own both an XD mod 2 and XDs mod 2 9 mm. I happen to also own a Glock 19x which was given to me by a daughter who won it in a raffle. I am, without a doubt, an XD guy for life. I love both of these pistols. Great to shoot (the XD being, of course, more accurate), easy to take down for cleaning and then there is that GRIP. THAT is what first sold me. When I purchased my first XD, my member who sold it to me presented me with about 8 different pistols for me to hold. Immediately upon grabbing the XD I commented that I really liked how this one felt in my hand. After holding the rest of the pistols I came back to the XD and choose it. This is not to say that I do not enjoy shooting my Glock 19x, it is a fine gun. It just doesn't have the "feel" of my XD. Since I am a neophyte in this area, I cannot comment on all the technical aspects of this gun. I can say that it is easy to conceal (my preference when clothing allows is shoulder holster), easy to sight for shooting and, within reason, hits what I shoot at (allowing for operator error :). Also, I have pestered the people at Springfield with several issues (mostly due to me being a newbie) and they have been more than cordial, answering all of my queries. And doing so in a pleasant and expeditious manner. Springfield, you have a customer for life. Kudos.
This was the first gun I ever bought - didn’t really know what I was getting into, but as I’ve learned more, gained more experience, and acquired more firearms, I realize that this is a truly great product. It’s always been rock solid reliable, comfortable and simple to operate, and maintenance is a breeze.
Same this is the first gun I've ever bought. Though it's not my first gun ever as I was gifted a Glock 19. I never saw myself owning multiple guns but after owning them both I understand they both have a distinct place. G19 is a lot easier and more fun to shoot at the range, I'm a lot more accurate and quicker with it, and it holds 15+1. Its great but pretty thick to conceal as a double stack, and the thing is HEAVY fully loaded. XDS is my choice for a low profile CCW in most situations. G19 would be my choice for home defense, or if I'm going out in the woods, or middle of nowhere. It'd also be the choice if I ever went to a shooting competition.
All "grip zone" jokes aside. That "stand off" device that prevents the gun from going out of battery upon contact is pretty damn awesome. Would reconsider this just for this alone...
I absolutely love my MOD 2 Subcompact .45 for concealed Cary. Just added additional textured gripping that looks great, but most importantly supports a more confidant handling.
I just bought my daughter the XDS-9mm Mod 2 with the Crimson Trace Red Dot Laser Sight on it & she loves it. I shot it at the range & now I want one, but in .45 ACP. I bought it for my daughter bc I liked the grip & trigger safeties. Hopefully that'll prevent mistakes. Great video & I'm new to the Springfield family & it's really good so far.
I have several single stack 9mm's, including the original xds. I use to enjoy rotating them out on occasion. However, I bought this xds mod 2. 9mm with the tritium front sight about a month ago. All the others are getting sold now. There is nothing about this pistol that needs to be changed. I love it. Maybe with all the money from the others I can finally buy the Saint that has been taunting me at the gun store. Great job Springfield. Keep it up. 👍
I have an XD 40 and a couple of months ago, I purchased the XDS Mod2 9mm for concealment. I love the safety features, the accuracy and of course the price point. I also benefited from a promotional free Gear upgrade from Springfield. Range Bag, case, three grip extension grips clips, etc.
So many people suggest I get the Hellcat for C&C because it holds more rounds and is smaller than the XDs Mod 2. But after holding the Hellcat in my hands, it feels way too small. I think I'm going to invest in this model instead.
agree, I talk to Rob L. every year at shotshow about that xdm 10mm. Or just about any xd/xdm combo in 10mm. for now I'm getting by with a p320 compact in .357 sig, much rather have the xdm 10mm.
If anybody from Springfield is reading these comments, then you need to start making these calibers in XDM. 10mm, .357 sig, and 327 federal. There's so many asking for these rounds. Especially 10mm. Most love the XDM and not 1911's as much. So XDM 10mm! XDM 10mm! XDM 10mm! XDM 10mm!
Non-rhetorical question: Why do people want those rounds? What are the ballistic advantages of 10mm and 357 sig? Isn't the latter similar to the 40 s&w?
Jack Casey It's because 10mm and .357 sig ballistics are just as good as .357 magnum that fit into a semi-auto if not better. They are also great rounds for dangerous game as well.
Well this comment aged well. I want to get the full sized xdm 10mm to start carrying hiking in grizzly bear black bear mountain lion and moose country in montana instead of my 357. 17 rounds with a more manageable trigger pull just seems smarter than 6 rounds from my taurus 65...
Springfield actually informed consumers "about the product" in an ad. The 1st ad they have made in 2 years worth watching. I hope they fired the old ad company.
I have the 1st gen xds 3.3 in the .45 LOVE IT. I also have the xdm in .40 but thats not the point, I wanted a 9mm so recently I bought the Kimber micro 9, actually 2 of them, one for me and the wife.....yeah 42 rounds through the kimber and there being BOTH sent back to kimber to be fixed. When putting a fresh mag in they would fail to load a round, the tip of the round would nosedive and jam on the bottom of the feed ramp. not happy, after getting mine fixed I will be buying the xds mod 2.0 osp. never once had an issue out of my springfields!
I love the XDS., had a big problem with the dual side magazine release. I kept hitting the mag release on the opposite side. Extended to far for me, but overall it’s a great firearm.
Where did the freakin grip go!? It use to be clearly indicated where to put your hand on the gun and now I don’t know how anyone is even going to be able to hold this gun anymore! All jokes aside Springfield has always been one of my favorite companies.
If only there were an area on the firearm, clearly marked, that would tell us where to grip. You could say, maybe a "zone" of gripping or something like that. I am somewhat confused as to how to hold this pistol.
Haha. I'm actually a little disappointed they took it off. I thought it was hilarious all the gun snobs saying "I won't buy that gun! I know where to grip it!" Like can people take themselves any more seriously 😂
Rob, why are you taking your trigger finger all the way off the trigger between shots instead of only releasing to the reset point and then pulling the trigger again (1:50 in the video)?
I don't wanna comment on the fact it is a very good gun, plus the ingenious grip safety nullifying the possibility of discharge when holstering. Actually the most striking message here is that the vulnerable individuals have the inalienable right to defend their person.
That's a difficult decision. I've had the old XDS in 9mm for years, love it. Got XDEs for wife and me and I love it more, it's the one I carry most. Now I bought the Mod 2 XDS, and while it feels good, looks good, takes the same magazines, I'm not sure I'll replace the XDE with it. Haven't taken it to the range yet, that will probably make the decision for me. I do love the external hammer on the XDE after having so many other striker-fired guns over the last 30 years.
glenbo02 Thanks so much for the reply. Sounds like we have similar tastes in our firearms. My Tristar/Canik C100 is fantastic as well. I love the CZ hammer platform.
Someone tell me why you wouldn't get the regular xd mod 2 in 9mm if it's the same size, same length, but it's a double stack with 13 +1 with the flush mag. I love mine.
Cameron cross I have a XD Mod. 2 in 40 cal, and I LOVE it.. But with that being said I can definitely see the attraction. I also carry my Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 2.0 in 9mm, and they are just two completely different types of guns. The Shield, similar to the XDS, is significantly less bulky. There is a huge difference in feel both in your hands and on your waist when concealing it. While I personally love my XD sc I definitely can understand someone wanting an XDS or Shield type CCW. It's the same reason so many people have bought a Glock 43 when they could have gotten a Glock 26
I love the grip safety. It is essential to me as I carry appendix iwb. Why does the grip safety have a bump unlike xds version 1? I am not complaining. I am trying to figure out the reason behind the design. I never have any problem with my xds grip safety. How does this bump in mod2 make the gun better? Can anyone enlighten me please? Thank you in advance.
Suggestion on the grip... I know Grip Zone is a trade mark thingy... what some people think about it. But for me it is extra texture. So... that said, replace it with the text XDS mod 2 like on your XDE model. Long live the Grip Zone!😁
I JUST PURCHASED THE SPRINGFIELD ARMORY XDS,, IT COMES WITH 2 20 ROUND CLIPS AND A CLEANING BRUSH AND LOCK FOR YOUR HANDGUN AND A SMALL PACKET OF GUN OIL,I LIKE TO USE HONEY GUN OIL ON MY FIREARMS, AND I ALREADY OWN THE TAURUS PIII GEN2 WHICH I LOVE TO SHOOT AND I OWN A BERETTA PIETRO MODEL 86 9MM SHORT FIRES 7 ROUNDS, LAST ONE ACTUALLY MADE IN ITALY. I REALLY LIKE THE SPRINGFIELD XDS IT'S NOT AS HEAVY AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND AS FAR AS HOLSTERS GO I USE ALIEN GEAR HOLSTERS, I OWN THE SHIFT AND SHAPE KIT,ANKLE HOLSTER, M.O.L.L.E HOLSTER AND THE LOCKING STRAP FOR MY BACKPACK,MY NEXT PURCHASE IS THEIR SHOULDER HOLSTER AND ALL I NEED TO DO IS BUY NEW SHELLS FOR MY SPRINGFIELD AND I CAN USE THE SAME HOLSTER SYSTEM,THANK YOU SPRINGFIELD FOR MAKING THE XDS IN 9MM
THE SPRIENGFIELD XDS IS A RELIABLE HANDGUN I JUST HAVE TO DECIDE ON WHAT TYPE OF AMMO I WANT TO USE,IF ANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW I WOULD APPRECIATE HELP ON THAT MATTER,I HAVEN'T READ THE MANUEL YET SO MAYBE THE ANSWER IS IN THERE
Okay, so the jab at Sig for the 365 doesn't make sense. Their advantage of 12 rounds is very real. You don't sacrifice reliability for magazine capacity, but you *might* sacrifice concealability . In the case of the 365, you don't sacrifice that either. The issues with the 365 will be resolved as they work the kinks out by refining their manufacturing process. At this time, I think the XDS M2 is a more reliable gun. But don't overplay your hand for a couple more gun sales.
DoubleShok Guess it depends on the kit. Mine was an “Essentials kit” for my XD Mod.2 4”. Only came with 1 extra mag, brush and lock(no flat adapter obviously).
They didn't buy anything. They just sell redesigned pistols for U.S. market. They are produced in the same factory as HS2000. All HS2000/XD pistols are produced in Croatia.
Springfield, read this please..Come out with 7 round sleeves for the XDs-Mod.2 .45acp..All your prerelease hype said, at original mags will me compatible..Please make it happen
I don't have an XDS but I have an XD Mod. 2 subcompact in 40. I also have an M&P Shield 2.0 in 9 mm. I really like both. If they are both around the same price point I would probably lean towards the XDS just because of the 9 round magazine option. My Shield only has 7 and 8 round mags
I don't necessarily hate the M&P I just think that their quality control fucking sucks. Although that whole thing where the rear sight holds in the fire control group is fucking stupid. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be slapped around a little bit
I love my guns, but we the consumer is being lied about threats gun companies tell us. I buy guns because not because I'm afraid but I can't resist a good deal.
Being new to this whole "gun" thing (after years of members egging me on, I'm a Lutheran pastor), I now own both an XD mod 2 and XDs mod 2 9 mm.

Also, I have pestered the people at Springfield with several issues (mostly due to me being a newbie) and they have been more than cordial, answering all of my queries. And doing so in a pleasant and expeditious manner.
Springfield, you have a customer for life. Kudos.

battery? what?
They got rid of that grip zone label it still has the grip but I didn’t see it say grip zone anymore
@@James_Edward59 Yeah, I noticed that too. Mine says Grip Zone but it doesn't bother me.
@@deskgamesix The ones with "grip zone" are pretty rare, mostly demo units. In 20-30 years yours might be worth a lot more because of that
I absolutely love my MOD 2 Subcompact .45 for concealed Cary. Just added additional textured gripping that looks great, but most importantly supports a more confidant handling.
Now I gotta add another, Hiding from wife is getting harder
I feel your pain, brother!

Me too
Bill Rodgersll, They don't call it "Concealed Carry" for nothing. :)

Hah, take that Sig.
The Angriest Puppy I definitely laughed out loud when he said you’d take reliability over capacity. Overt shot at Sig there lol
I'll have to confirm. My P365 had over 10 non trigger resets in 150 rds. i crievrityme.
I thought the same thing.
Sigs are shit.
Sigs aren't shit (at least not yet). I hope you aren't thinking Hi Points are the best!
Still waiting for that XDm in 10mm with 17 rounds. You'll clean up the 10mm market.

Are there any plans SA has to make this in the 9mm 4.0 (4 inch barrel) version -- an XD-S Mod 2 9mm 4.0?
I bought this firearm for my wife last night and there was no cleaning brush or flat adapter for the mag. Should those items be in the box?
This might be the only striker fired gun I would add to my “Hammer Only” collection. I do have the XDE and love it.

Why are they moving so slow?
@ 2:39...what model is that?
What would be the best option as far as the 2 sight options available from factory?
What belly holster is being used in this video?
Nice touch with the Chris Kyle book.
Will it take the old XDS mags?
Most probably will take the older mags. My standard XD Mod 2's take the older XD mags, so I see no reason to believe otherwise.
Yes. Mine does with no problem.
Just crossed my mind. I wonder whether Springfield Armory would beat Kimber K6, if they were to put their mind to creating a snub revolver?
What is the brand of the belly band the lady is wearing? I want to buy one for the misses. Thanks.
Will a 4" version be coming out?
best handgun I ever own
Love my mod.2 service pistol. Probably selling my shield to get one of these.
Will the mod 9 fit the xd9mm holster
Can't wait. Love my XDm Compact in 9mm... But it can be a little beefy sometimes. Looking forward to seeing this make the TH-cam review circuit.
Same here my xdm compact 9mm is awesome but love to get a little slimmer gun without going .380acp
Black Friday Sale $399 and you get pistol in 9mm, 1 seven round mag, and 4 (9) round mags. Mag holder and holster! Great deal
Nice gun!
Now if I could find any for sale within 100 miles. Awesome firearm
My husband and I grabbed the last two at our local gun store today
I have the bitone xds 9mm. Nice design with high quality. But the recoil is a little harsh for a heavy gun. Little too heavy to carry iwb.
Prefer the original XDs over the XDs Mod 2. Is Springfield going to stop manufacturing the original XDs?
@springfieldarmory
yes
Love this gun! Springfield forever!
Robert Mendez Grip zone forever!
Does the xds mod 2 45 have the "stand off" device?

What's up with all that extra space in the Box
is this reliable with any kinds of ammos?
@David N. I'm torn between this and the M&P Shield 9mm 2.0
Another awsome sa
Someone tell me why you wouldn't get the regular xd mod 2 in 9mm if it's the same size, same length, but it's a double stack with 13 +1 with the flush mag. I love mine.

I also carry my Smith and Wesson M&P Shield 2.0 in 9mm, and they are just two completely different types of guns. The Shield, similar to the XDS, is significantly less bulky. There is a huge difference in feel both in your hands and on your waist when concealing it. While I personally love my XD sc I definitely can understand someone wanting an XDS or Shield type CCW. It's the same reason so many people have bought a Glock 43 when they could have gotten a Glock 26
Ok I'm almost sold, but I've got a question... can I shoot (+P+ 9mm) thru XD-S Mod.2? Someone please advise.
I have one and it fires Hornady American Gunner 9mm Luger +P 124 gr XTP just fine. As a matter of fact, it's my concealed carry round.

sick
trigger weight?
Is it capable with the original xds 9mm
Magazine
How heavy is this gun? I refuse to buy the xds because it is way too heavy for a single stack
MrDonutboi it’s .5oz heavier than the Shield.
The first gen XDs 45 is 19.4oz unloaded. How is that heavy?
ColdDayInHell this is the 9mm not the 45acp. In first gen, the 9mm is heavier than the 45acp
good point. Thicker barrel walls
Suggestion on the grip... I know Grip Zone is a trade mark thingy... what some people think about it. But for me it is extra texture. So... that said, replace it with the text XDS mod 2 like on your XDE model. Long live the Grip Zone!😁

Why are they made in Croatia?
Fredrik Björklund They bought the design from a Croatian company. It used to be the HS2000
They didn't buy anything. They just sell redesigned pistols for U.S. market. They are produced in the same factory as HS2000. All HS2000/XD pistols are produced in Croatia.
AdrianoCROST in other words they "bought" the US licensing rights for the design.

XDs are reliable as hell. My 45 is at least, I've had it 6 years now. Glock 43 is another near perfect EDC. I loathe M&Pee though.
I don't have an XDS but I have an XD Mod. 2 subcompact in 40. I also have an M&P Shield 2.0 in 9 mm. I really like both. If they are both around the same price point I would probably lean towards the XDS just because of the 9 round magazine option. My Shield only has 7 and 8 round mags
I don't necessarily hate the M&P I just think that their quality control fucking sucks. Although that whole thing where the rear sight holds in the fire control group is fucking stupid. Whoever thought that was a good idea needs to be slapped around a little bit
After going to the gun store and checking them out I would have to say that I'm going with the Glock.
Pitdog360 what made you lean towards Glock?
peep Chris Kyle's "American Sniper" on the table
Looks like they changed the extractor design from the original XDS
Strong drive by skills at 0:50
Also carry at least 2 extra mags
I have a XD-40 full-size that my dad gave me I have that in my desk at the office
I'm still waiting for xd 22lr 15 rounds at least, come on, come on....
Can I get that in California please 🙏

Dont trade capacity for reliability. Hah! I want one.
I'll keep my P365, it's been 100% reliable and I get an increased magazine capacity.
...and it has no trademark Grip Zone logo.... so sad......
...and need a baby XDS in .380acp.
So it has a thinner slide, but a thicker frame than the original XDS. I'll pass.
I love my guns, but we the consumer is being lied about threats gun companies tell us. I buy guns because not because I'm afraid but I can't resist a good deal.
Making a jab at sig ehhh
