As most know, Springfield issued a recall for their XDS compact .45s. I waited a year, to let the back log work out, and finally sent mine in for the conversion.
Time from asking for the free shipping lable, to getting the little pistol back took less than two weeks. That includes weekends.
When it showed up this morning, included in the box was a nifty little hard case, and a 7 round magazine. Both of those gratis.
I used their box, and immediately got another shipping lable from them, and took my second XDS over to the FedEx terminal.
I am very pleased.

So glad to hear it all worked out Sam. I like the XD's.

sent my two off one at a time, so I could continue to carry one.

They should have built the damn thing right to begin with.

Glad you got it back in short order. They treated me well also. I sold mine a couple weeks ago due to money issues. But those issues turned around real quick, so I just ordered a new XD Mod2 45. Hope it treats me as good as my XDS.

There is one with the 4 inch barrel in my buddy's shop. I can really like the balance on that particular piece.

Glad to hear that they did you right on the turn around time for your recall work.

since there never was a reported instance of the alledged 'problem' manifesting itself, I'd say the original design was pretty good. This was lawyer driven, not fact driven.

Ya missed it Sam.

Good to hear Springfield customer service is still top notch. Hopefully the quick turnaround and efficient servicing is extended to general warranty issues and not just those afflicted by a recall.

The XD's are just good guns.

I shot mine a whole bunch before the recall. I haven't sent it in yet. I heard some didn't like the trigger when they got their gun back.

I am off to the range today, to test the XDS and I should be able to discuss the trigger after that.

Watch the front sight, Sam.

Looking forward to your report.

I agree, Sam. My older XD9 has never burped on anything I put through it. And pretty darn accurate, too.

I found the fixed trigger to be slightly heavier but with a more positive "wall" just before firing rather than unpredictable mush. I prefer the fixed trigger.

due to some other obligations, I did not get to spend a lot of time at the range. I did get 50 rounds down range though, and see no problem at all with the trigger pull. Feels the same to me.
As for the front sight, I have been carrying this pistol several times a week for well over a year now, and don't see any issues with the front sight.

That's good to hear that the trigger is the same. I have several other .45acp's and my XDS is very accurate for it's size, It's my main carry gun

I have gotten my second XDS back from the upgrade process. Went to the range, and tested it. Trigger seems identical to the other one, which is good.
Nice to have two of my favorites back in the CCW rotation.

I did the same thing. Waited. Got the gun back in literally one week with new little case and extra 7 round mag. So, over on the XD forum, I started a thread that said: "Glad I waited."

I was called every name in the book for carrying an unsafe gun and bragging about it. It was ridiculously funny. I removed the bookmark from my puter and have never been back. Bunch of little girls.

Sorry, I didn't give you the back story on that one.

My Grandfather used to tell me "Watch the front sight, and squeeze the trigger!"

It got shortened down to "watch the front sight" when I was teaching cadets.

Glad you are pleased with your pistols.

My Grand Dad, up in SW Virginia, was the first person to let me shoot a handgun. Just a wee lad. Up at the dump, in the hollow behind the farm house. I 'll never forget that day.
