Springfield Armory XD-S .45 Packs a Punch!

January 8, 2017 by Kevin 1 Comment

Springfield Armory's XD-S .45 is a bad ass carry gun in a sleek, small package. The XD-S packs 6 rounds of .45ACP into a 21.5 oz firearm. With dimensions smaller than the Kahr CW45, Glock 36, Kimber Ultra Carry 1911s, and Para Carry Safe 1911s, it is one of the most miniscule .45 on the conceal carry market. While this fine .45 is tiny, the kick pushes straight back, allowing … [Read more...]

Recently I did just that, and was able to compare how the A1 Loaded handles against how the Springfield Range Officer 1911 shoots. The Springfield A1 Loaded covered in this article has had … [Read more...]

Springfield XD-S 9 (9mm) Ready for duty

June 8, 2016 by Kevin 29 Comments

Like its "big brother," the XD-S 45, Springfield Armory's 9mm XD-S 9 makes a first impression. The model I received for review wasn't a striking two tone (like the .45 model I reviewed previously), but the all-black pistol has a sleek, but rugged, aesthetic. Even the neat black case looks like something M would slide across his desk toward 007. Having previously reviewed its … [Read more...]
