Surprisingly, I did not miss the Pierce magazine Extender on the XDs 4.0 9mm something that I use for the XDs 4.0 45. The little finger of my shooting hand wasn’t all tingly as it is when shooting the XDs 4.0 45. The felt recoil of the XDs 4.0 9mm is vary light and manageable. While heavy may not be desirable in a compact carry pistol, it is highly regarded when firing one. Regardless, the XDs series of pistols are regarded as the heavier of many sub-compact pistols available. Performance differences may be due to the thicker, heavy barrel or slightly heavier weight of the XDs 4.0 9mm over the XDs 4.0 45. Performance is quite different in both pistols, aside from the obvious caliber differences. I had this in mind when I took the XDs 4.0 9mm to the range for the first time. Overall, the outside dimensions of both the XDs 4.0 9mm and XDs 4.0 45 are the same as are all the controls. There are a few notes regarding the Springfield XDs 4.0 9mm pistol worth mentioning. I had written a review on the XDs 3.3 and 4.0 45 (see, REFERENCES) and the XDs 4.0 9mm pistol is so closely related to the 45 version that I felt no compulsion to write a review of this pistol. I really wasn’t going to do a review on the Springfield XDs 4.0 9mm pistol.
