Help me decide... currently have a xd and xdm in .45 and .40 cal. So here comes my dilemma.... want to get a smaller carry gun (xds) but really want to get a 1911. What would you do?
I was in the same frame of mind. My choice was the XDs .45. I'm just not going to pay $1200 for a Kimber because (a), they are not worth it and, (b) they are based in the socialist state of New York.
I have a couple 1911's, and the xds is my best carry gun! With a good holster it holds close to your body, and isn't noticeable after a while!
