The Springfield Armory XD-S is a pistol that I waited for with great anticipation before its release. The photos and specs made it seem like an almost perfect carry pistol. Then shortly after release they largely disappeared from store shelves due to a voluntary recall in 2013. When the upgraded versions were available and after shooting an XD-S rental pistol, my suspicions about its quality and feel were confirmed. So I added one to my collection and for specific reason: deeper concealment.

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 .45 predecessor, I had some expectations of the XD-S 9 when I first brought it to the range. It exceeded them.
