Springfield XDs.

How do you like it? I've got my eye on one in 9mm. Definitely the narrowest profile compared to the rest in the case nearby it. A friend has one in .45 and loves it, but 5 rounds with the stock mag just seems a little light. I suppose the extended mag would be an option but then you lose some of the compactness.
 
I have the XDs45 and don't really like the texturing on the grip. It's somewhat aggressive and makes it uncomfortable for me to shoot. I've since added a Pachmayr rubber grip and it's made a big difference. I rarely carry it though due to the 5+1 capacity.
 
XDs .45 here.
It shoots & carries well. I am 6'4" & 255# though so it still seems overly small to me.

I have the .45 and it's not bad to shoot. I wouldn't want to spend all day shooting hundreds of rounds with it, but it's not bad.
 
My absolute favorite CCW is my Star Firestar in .40. It's all steel and on the heavy side for it's size but it fits my hand and I shoot it really well. Don't carry it much any more as parts are getting hard to find. Only thing it has broken in the 20 years I have owned it is the extractor though.

Currently carry a LCP. Carries really well and most of the time I don't even know it is there. Pretty accurate at 15 yards with Barnes ammo.

Last year I picked up a Kahr CM-9. Comparable in size to an XDs or Shield and shoots really well for me. Just got an Alien gear holster so I can start carrying it.

Also have a S&W 329 Nightguard .44 mag I carry on occasion.
 
I've been carrying the Glock 27 for years. I just picked up a Glock 43. I love it. It's nice and slim and carries well.
 
I finally drank the "kool aid" and bought my first 2 glocks over Black Friday weekend. A Glock 26 and 23. Also got 50 round drums and 30+ round mags for both. :D Only complaint so far is the stupid plastic sights.:mad:
 
If you like the grip length of your 19 or 23 you can buy a spacer from A & G to run those mags in your 26/27.
 
Ordered an Aliengear Cloak tuck 3 and they sent me the wrong one :( Waiting for customer service to respond back.
