That's well below dealer cost so you may want to give them a call to make sure that's an accurate price for an "in stock" pistol. Even if they just packed up on the stocking dealer promotion price that's still a stupid low pirce. If it is legit I doubt you'll find them cheaper anywhere else.
They (Springfield) are supposed to come out with a 4" XDS soon only .7" longer & all barrel, the whole "oops, send your quality SA gun back for 8 weeks for an upgrade" recall makes me glad I waited. As does this longer barrel version and lower prices... just sayin
From the Athens area, Alexander's is worth the ride. I go several times a year for a sale. It's a haul to get up there, but it's a pretty ride and you'll be hard pressed to find better prices. Alexander's is the first ad I go to when my GON comes in. Normally they have 2 or 3 REALLY good prices and then 5 or 6 that are pretty good. Alexander's is what I vision Walmart was 30+ years ago. They have EVERYTHING from guns and camo, to dishwashers and sofas.
Bass Pro told me in November that they will only price match regular items and not sale prices. I didn't believe them so I went back the next week and asked a different customer service person and got the same answer.
I also own a xds in 45. Since I bought it, all my other carry pieces have stayed in the safe. 7 rds of 45ACP in a 380 size package
