Looking to upgrade from XDS 3.3

[scoutsniper]

I’ve been carrying a XDS 3.3 9mm for years with no real complaints besides the short frame. I been eyeing the glock 43x with the shield arms 15rd mag which just seems insane vs the current 7rd mag I have. I’m open to other suggestions.

5’11 210lbs ex Marine with a little dad bod started. For carry size reference. skinny fingers.

Check out the P365 or P365 XL. They come stock with 12 round mags (optional on the p365 standard on the XL) and with a sling swap with MagGuts kit you’re up to 14 rounds. To me, the trigger and sights are better than any stock Glock product I’ve shot.

Have you held the new Ruger Max-9, or Shield Plus? That might be a way to go. There are a few more out there I just can't think what they are off hand that are around the same size and gives you 10+ rds.

Edit: P365 as Todd pointed out is another option. Todd has a good point about stock Glocks also.

I have been seeing alot of people like the sig 365 line. I’ll have to find a dealer who has em so I can hold one. I have p320 and stock trigger left a lot to be desired. Apex trigger fixed that haha.

A bad trigger is something I can't take. To many years shooting precision rifles I blame it on.

Agreed. A lot of my Guns have upgraded triggers. I did 12yrs with gritty spongy AR triggers and shotout barrels in the Corps. no more lol

Another vote for the Sig P365XL. I carried the XDs 45 4.0 for 10ish yrs and just switched a few weeks ago. I really like it and only thing I'd change is the caliber, I like carrying 45, but it's a tolerable issue.

I picked up one of those also. It's a little hard to conceal using that mag so I use the factory 12 for carry and use the 15 for reload if the need should arise.

That would probably be the only way I'd be able to shoot a P365 properly, and it would easily conceal on my 6'2" 240lb frame . I wear XXL gloves to give you an idea of my hand size.

I think a CZ P10F is perfect for my hand. Now to find a 18,or 19rd magazine with a 3" barrel all in one pistol.

Yeah you probably wouldnt have any conceal issues but im 5'11" 175lbs. I had issues not printing with the XDs 7&8 round mags.

I conceal 1911 FS and my CZ P10F without much problem. But I prefer my Shield 45 in the summer because of the heat. I've got the extended magazine and it's just enough to get half my little finger on it. Plus the Shield 45 is very accurate I love it. Love the 10mm 1911 too. Unbeatable trigger and accuracy.

I love my 1911s but cant CC them easily. I did OC one for a few but felt more comfortable CCing the smaller framed pistols.
