You all are a wealth of knowledge on this subject, so thought I would ask here.
Was wanting to buy a new pistol for ccw purposes this month and was planning on the Springfield .45 XDS. I am wondering now if I should buy a full size model with large magazine capacity (instead of the XDS), just in case any legislation happens which would prevent it in the future. I have a Ruger .38 LCR I can carry, but really liked the feel, sights, and caliber of the XDS. Really just got into handguns this year, just own the LCR and an SR9 otherwise.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance & Happy Holidays to all of you!
Buddy recommended the Springfields as a lot of gun for the money.
S&W M&P 40 is my next - 15+1. Have the M&P 22 for plinking and love it.

I think that's what my son just bought, he's on his way back to the store to return the laser sight kit that was on it, he didn't care for it, or really need it............
he really wants the Walther, but that's a larger investment, he didn't have..........................his Uncle is an armorer, retired from the 82nd, and has one (Walther) all tricked out, so he has been spoiled getting to shoot it for years.................
wife has the ruger LCR .38+P, ..................
I don't even bother, LOL, I'm gonna talk 'em to death, hehe
Never compromise.

My advice "Leave the gun, take the cannolis." 😳

What then, smartypants?:-k
.45 has awesome stopping power, but you'll be lucky to get 8 rounds with a normal mag,10mm is great, but you need to load for it to realize it true versatility, my opinion, of course.
Edit... We can't buy new Glocks here in MA. A G23 is a good choice too! The used ones here are so over priced it is silly.
The 1911 EMP is also a great CC, but much higher in price.
