It's a chamber flag. Insert it into the chamber and it signals that there is not a round in the chamber.What is the orange tool for?
Grip extension are reasonably priced.that thing is seriously small. it looks like it would suck to shoot. a 45 acp with a 2 finger grip. i dont know. might keep my .38 when i need small. but still a nice rig never the less.
also how is the reliability with it. from what i have learned from reading the publications some small .45s have cycling issues at times.
The recoil is certainly noticeable, but not at all uncomfortable or uncontrollable. Actually very easy to shoot, and for those with larger hands, you can always get a grip extension if needed. Like all ultra small, large caliber semi-autos, the XD-s can be limp wristed, causing cycling issues, but proper shooting techniques cure this readily. Properly used, small .45s (I have several) have no more problems than any other semi-auto. My XD-s, in its first outing was dead reliable after the first two "break in" mags.that thing is seriously small. it looks like it would suck to shoot. a 45 acp with a 2 finger grip. i dont know. might keep my .38 when i need small. but still a nice rig never the less.

It most certainly is. I thought there might be a big difference In CC on my hip do to it's weight difference between the XDS and the PM9 I used to CC.That XDs is gonna be a great carry piece...
How do you like the talon holster??
