    Talk me into something better than an XDS 9mm

    Lately I have been looking for a better slim 9mm for concealed carry. I narrowed it down to three and shot them all. I loved the XDS 9mm. I shot it very accurately. However, in the end I opted for another firearm. (I won't tell you which, for now) I'm thinking about selling one of my rifles...
