Height depends on whether you have the flush-fit magazine installed. While we’re talking dimensions, the overall length is 6.3 inches. Heck, with a thin hybrid holster you might not even need to buy oversized pants. That makes it easy to conceal, especially inside the waistband. Like all of the XD-S pistols, this one is a single-stack design. Well, truthfully, it’s what High Edit-ness sent to me. 45 ACP, just for the record, because I’m a glutton for recoil. 40 caliber here the other day, I’d bet a ham sandwich that we’ll see that configuration with a factory-provided laser before too long. The laser body is designed specifically for this gun – it’s not a bolt on one-size-fits-all rail assembly.įirst, this new model will initially be available in both 9mm and. The Springfield Armory XD-S with Crimson Trace Laserguard is exactly that.
With all that said, I love that gun manufacturers are offering models ready to go meaning already equipped with a per-fit laser. There’s no reason you can’t continue to use the irons when you have a laser installed. I’m simply suggesting the idea of giving yourself additional advantage above and beyond traditional sighting. A laser makes accurate sighting in the dark a nonissue.Īm I advocating ditching the iron or night sights? No, of course, not. Night sights are designed to work in the dark, and I have those installed on all of my carry pistols. Last, the laser removes sighting issues related to low light conditions. The aiming point and target are in the same focal plane, so there’s no need to take the focus away from the target and to the front sight. Playing Devil’s advocate, why fight millions of years of biological programming? If your brain wants to focus on the threat, you can simply let it when using a laser.
Yes, training helps overcome that tendency. Laser sighting also tends to support the biological response we all have of focusing on the threat, not on the front sight of the pistol. The XD-S comes with the Crimson Trace Laserguard, a flat base magazine and an extended Mid-Mag.
