I just picked up a Springfield XDS 45 Compact and a Smith and Wesson M&P 9MM Compact, Both shoot well with low recoil and are easy to conceal. The XDS is actually a smaller frame gun although the barrel is the same length. than the M&P and is a great carry gun for anyone who wants to pack a large caliber CCDW Weapon. IF you get a chance check both of them out! You wont be sorry!
