![]() ![]() There’s a rather large price difference between the two pistols as well, with the XDs costing almost double what I paid for the PF-9, so I won’t beat the Kel-Tec up too bad. When picking up the XDs 9mm, you can feel an obvious difference in quality when held side by side with the PF-9. I’ve been pocket carrying a Kel-Tec PF-9 for a number of years, and while it’s been pretty reliable, it’s a piece of junk in the quality department. When gripping the pistol, I don’t even know it’s there, so I didn’t have a problem buying a pistol with this feature. However, the external safety on the XDs is a grip safety, and it is very well done. You are probably saying “But Luke, the XDs has an external safety!”, and you wouldn’t be wrong. I chose the XDs over the Walther because the XDs uses a standard magazine release, where the Walther uses the goofy European release. These criteria in one way or another eliminate just about every small 9mm on the market with the exception of the XDs 9mm, and the Walther PPS. If you have been reading the blog for any length of time, you know two things: I’m not a fan of the XD line of pistols, and I have been searching for a small 9mm pistol for concealed carry that has a decent trigger, no external safety, no magazine disconnect, and no internal lock. (I shot 2 matches this weekend, and I literally have less than a box of 9mm in the house…) Keep in mind, at the time of me writing this I’ve had the pistol for about 1.5 hours, and I have not had the opportunity to shoot it yet. Lets cut right to the chase, and talk about the pistol itself. ![]() Extra fiber optic rod for the front sight in both green and red (I havent measured it yet, but it appears to be about the same size that I use for my S&W M&P Pro front sight).The inside of the box contained the following: I’ve been waiting patiently for what seems like an eternity for this particular pistol to arrive, and finally today was the day!Īs you may know, Springfield ships their pistols in really nice plastic boxes, much nicer than those used by Glock and S&W. I just picked up a Springfield XDs 9mm from my favorite local gun shop (Carolina Gunrunners in North Raleigh). ![]()
