I picked a XDs 9mm 3.3" out a few weeks ago,the Ruger SR i had previously just wasn't doing it for me. I liked the Shield (liked the grip better) and the XDs about the same. It was a tough choice. The 4 free mags, Kydex holster and mag carrier that Springfield is offering right now, sealed the deal. When I can afford another, I'm going to check out the Glock 43 and take another good look at a Shield or I just might get a XDs 4" so all my mags are interchangeable. After shooting it at the range and carring it for 3 weeks now,I really like the XDs 3.3" though.
