I just bought an XDS .45 3.3" from Buds -- I don't have it in my possession yet.

Looks like it will make for great Summer carry. I also like the promo Springfield has going on right now (4 extra mags + other swag).

I've heard the trigger on the .45 can be bad compared to the trigger on the 9mm variant of the XDS.

Those with the .45 -- how's your trigger?

I'll have to go pull mine out of the safe to check, but the XDs triggers are spongy and not overly impressive. Good enough. They're compact and so far have been reliable. I have the XDs in 9mm and .45.

I don't notice much difference in the triggers in either chambering.

My XDs is the only .45 in my collection. I find that it's actually a pretty nice shooter, considering the caliber and size of the gun.

I took my daughter to the range so she could test fire a number of different guns before purchasing. We shot my P938, P290RS, EAA Witness Pavona and my son-in-law's Glock 19 -- all 9mm. She liked the XDs best.

Easily concealable pistol for Summer time.
Aftermarket trigger will probably help from what I've read.
Saying all that, the Springfield didn't work for me. I've had the 45 and the 9mm. They were both 100% but both of them banged up my hand badly. I'm pretty sure this is just me as I am missing part of my right index finger but I have to be picky when I choose a pistol.
Why 2 of them? I thought the 9mm version would be easier on my hand.
You'll enjoy it though and they're nice pistols.

Here's the trigger upgrade. Have heard basically all good on it but it's a little involved.

The best trigger WAS on my pre recalled XDS45... then they F it up even with Power river springs kit, its still a so so trigger pull.

For certain. The PRS kit does help a lot though. It doesn't make it a good trigger, but makes it much more shootable. (as in able to hit things. )

I was going to buy a 9mm but the triggers are really bad compared to my 45. I got it when they first came out.

It's why my 9mm hasn't made the trip back. The way I look at it I'll never shoot it enough for the gun to break as it did in factory testing and I'm more than willing to allow its next owner can worry about it if they want.

How is the reliability of the XDS in 45acp?

I just pulled my .45 and 9X19 XDs out of the safe. the triggers are the same.

So far as I've been able to tell, both are quite reliable.

A friend carries a 9mm XDs as his regular personal pistol, and is quite happy with it.

I've put around 600-700 rounds through mine and never had any type of malfunction . I love my XDs
