    Springfield XD Slim

    Not sure when they are planning on rolling into production as its existence was announced at SHOT....smaller than a ruger lc9

    Review

    Springfield Armory XDS Single Stack .45ACP Micro
    http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/springfield-armory-xds/
    So far the biggest story I have seen at SHOT Show 2012 is the XDS from Springfield Armory. It is a single stack .45ACP that holds 5 rounds in the magazine and 1 in the chamber. The barrel is 3.3 inches, and the overall length is 6.3 inches. It is only one inch thick. Empty the XDS weighs 21 ounces, and it is a striker fired pistol in the tradition of the XD and XD(M), with a polymer frame and forged steel slide. I don't know how many times we need to say that Springfield Armory is always raising the bar, but Springfield Armory is always raising the bar. Last year at SHOT Show about a half a dozen companies came out with single stack 9mm ultra-compacts. Over the past year they have all come into the market, with mixed reviews on most (our favorite was by far the Walther PPS). This year some of those guns have now been released in .40S&W, and it is common for 9mm and .40S&W to share the same frame in pistols. But when you want to make a pistol that small in a .45ACP, you have to go back to square one and make a whole new gun, and that is what Springfield Armory did.


    Not sure if "official" site or not

    Those dimensions are dang close to my Kahr CM9, but with one big difference. It's definitely a nice looking gun.

      Damn near the same size as my 709. I like it! May have to consider this if it ever happens.

                  Sigh, me too I think. Fully supported chamber = .45 super.

                          When this comes out it will be added to the collection and probably replace my LC9 as my main carry gun. I love my full size xd45.

                            No doubt. I'm sure in due time, Springfield will come out with a +1 magazine/grip extension that would tame some of the recoil. I'm sure I'll bite the bullet and pick one up myself. It will be my first .45, that's reason enough for me.
