Got rid of the RIA 1911 45
And now have this Springfield XDS 9mm
I love the concealability and feel of the gun

I love the size of mine, .45, just takes some getting used too when you come off a 4.25" barrelOriginally posted by Sean88gtOriginally posted by Baron Von Crowder -

Were you carrying the 1911?
Keep an eye on your guide rod where it contacts the barrel. I noticed mine is wearing quicker than I expected after 300 rounds it looks a little chewed. Some yahoo on xd talk blamed frog lube (which I have used since day 1). Take it for what it's probably not worth.Comment

That's interesting... so a lubricant is responsible for the excessive wear?"When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

So why did you get rid of the 1911?Comment

Correct. It hasn't faired as well as my clapped out xd40's rod collar. Both guns are treated with frog lube paste. Sorry for the thread jack OP keep an eye on it and go enjoy shooting it.Originally posted by CJ View PostComment

Nothing particular really...I was in need of something a bit more concealable...plus the GI model being extremely basic, really made me want a higher end 1911.Originally posted by Jose View Post
Plus the XDS was a great dealComment

I really wouldn't worry about it. It has some wear, but it's by no means bad."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin
