I just wanna know guys, that there are alot of Springfield xds out for sale, trade or whatever. I was gonna guy one but it has to be a reason why everyone wants to get rid of theirs. Plz tell me!
 
There have been reports on various gun boards about them breaking in classes and not being able to stand up to hard use. I don't have any experience with them personally, so that information is only worth what you paid for it.
 
I love mine! Alot of the early batches had problems...but I've shot 200 rounds outa mine and it's been flawless! Love it!!
 
My guess is that they don't like the recoil. It is a handful, but as long as you keep a good grip and are prepared for it, it is not that bad. There are also reports of cycling failures, allegedly due to limp wristing.

Another possibility is that they have decided that 6 rounds is not enough.

Another possibility is that they are planning on getting it in 9mm when they hit the stores.

I have one that has taken the place of my Kahr CM9 for everything except pocket carry. Won't get rid of it anytime soon.

I will possibly be in Griffin next weekend, and you can shoot mine if you like.
 
I love my XDs, I won't be getting rid of mine anytime soon. Have you ever shot one? If not my advice would be to shoot one and see if you like it or not before buying it. I've let a few friends shoot mine and most really liked it but a few didn't care for it at all.
 
I have always liked them. As far as the recoil...it is more of a straight back recoil into the hand, rather than a wrist breaking recoil that flips up. It seemed very manageable and was extremely accurate for its size. I love them.
