I sat in one and noticed a small door that folds down with a space the size of a chalkboard eraser. Is that it?

Here is a picture I took when I test drove the demos. Not sure if this is what you were asking about.

Thanks, Slow. I hope that was just a joke. Great point, a Proper NC resident should know these things.

Yeah, I am was kidding. I didn't think many ppl here would catch the topic shift.

.40 are nice but I always find my self in 9mm or .45 for some reason. I know it's a shame but I don't have any .40s left in the collection.

If I had to guess it would be 5.5"x5". Convenient and easy to use while driving. Just don't forget it's open or your knee may pay the price. I hate that.

I think the .40 with HP rounds are a good concealed carry/home defense, but where I work, 9mm and .45 are both used depending on circumstances.

Yeah .40 is a bit snappy for me. Let's hope an XDS in .45 fits in there!

It does fit. I have one, it's a little more tight (vs the PF9) than I would want for ease of access but it works in a pocket holster. Flush mags only tho.

If you get a cheap IWB with a clip you can use the clip to tilt it and get your hands around it easier. Hope this is helpful.

I think it might be the best option in its class. It fills a specific need for me.
Small - very thin
Fairly light - 21ish oz.
.45 - when I want something in larger caliber it's great.
Shootable - very accurate and very easy to shoot.
Looks nice.
What else could you want with customer service springfield. They are awesome.

I often find my self carrying a PF9 instead. Even tho some ppl hate on it.
Very light - 12ish oz.
Very thin easy to conceal
Cheap -$225ish from the right place.
9mm but holds rounds

but... I don't like to shoot it for fun. This light sucker will make your hands pay after awhile.

Thanks for the input I've heard nothing but positives on the XD.
