I'm assuming the xds 9 has the same issue my xds 45 does which is this: with a round in the chamber if, when holster or if for some reason something pushes up against it, and the slide get pushed back just a little the spring is not strong enough to push the slide forward again and the gun will obviously not fire. Springfield refuses to acknowledge/fix this problem and if you do some research you'll find they all do this. I loved my xds except for that problem. Then of course there is an ongoing recall that Springfield is fixing now that affects pretty much ALL xds' so if you do buy one make sure on the grip safety you can see a little roll pin. That is what Springfield is advising shows the pistol is post recall or has been upgraded. Sent my xds out September 7 and the email from Springfield is saying to expect it between Thanksgiving and Christmas. As you can imagine they have a shit load of guns to fix and it is taking forever! Lol my 1911 is so heavy in comparison. Can't wait to get my xds back.
Besides for these problems I really do like my xds. Super easy to carry and conceal and I like having a 45. I'm sure the 9 is good too though.
