The Springfield Armory XDs .45 belongs to a friend, but we shot it tonight and I was very impressed with it. Functions well, nice trigger and great sights. Nice little package. I have a 1911 Colt New Agent with the trench sights, and can live with the sights for what the pistol is intended for, but the sights on the XDs are way better. I understand the point concept and the reasons for the trench sights so not to offend any New Agent fans. Just my opinion after shooting the XDs tonight. I'll stick with my Colts, but there is nothing wrong with the XDs.
