Headed to the local dealer in the morning to look into compact 9MMs. I've already fired a lot of rounds through the S&W M&P Shield but a buddy of mine recommended the new model XD-S from Springfield.

This one.

Any of you Phukers have experience with it?

I'm in the same boat. I've been looking at the Springfield but it's actually too big to be a good concealed carry for me. If that's not what you're getting it for then you can't go wrong with the Springfield. If you're looking for a c.c. pistol I recommend the Ruger LCP at .380.

I'm trying to stick with one caliber so I only have to worry about stocking one size. After this purchase I'll start looking into 9mm carbines. The friend who recommended the XD-S did so because it's his carry gun. Single stack and 7-round magazine makes it doable.

It's thin but actually over 6" long. Not good for pocket carry.

Oh, yeah. Definitely too long for sticking in a pocket.
I'm a small-of-the-back kinda guy.

Usually you can chamber a .40 to 9mm w/no probs by switching barrels (and mags, of course). Lone Wolf does it with Glocks.
