Range report on Springfield XDS Mod2 in 45ACP:

Shot like any other 45ACP. If you try to fight the recoil, it may be a bit painful. If you just let it recoil but hold onto it, it is fine.

Mine shoots a bit low at 5 yards, so I need to talk to Springfield about it. 5-round groups are around 3 to 4 inches.

With the 5-round magazine and the short extension (as pictured in previous posting), the grip is a bit cramped for the 3 fingers and the gap between the magazine and the frame of the pistol can pinch your pinky finger because the magazine rocks a little during recoil. Maybe Springfield has a cure for that too. I did shoot 70 rounds, so it may be expected to pinch your pinky. In a defensive situation, I doubt you will shoot 70 rounds.

I did not try the 6-round extended magazine.

Otherwise, it is easy to shoot.

No failures to feed or eject with either Hornady 185gr. XTP or 230 gr. Blazer Brass FMJ.

Go get yourself one. Nice little pistol.
