Question: what is the difference between a springfield xd and xds?
Answer: In terms of round count, the XDM vs XDs fight is won in a walk. The XDS, though, does come with more factory options in terms of finishes and sights. Some people insist on comfort in carrying and that's where the XDS might hold a bit of an edge. It's not monumentally smaller than the XD(M); it's not like the XDS vs. XD.
