XDS it's a great concealed carry firearm. Appendix carry is easy even sitting down with a seat belt on. Shorts and t shirt. No problem. It's super slim. If a person is slim or small in size concealed carry could be an issue but not with this pistol. A petite female can carry this. The short barrel gives your wrists a little more leverage on the muzzle rise to.
You are right when you say non flashaholics try a good light they are shocked at the output these days. Good taste in knives as well i have both that kershaw and the spyderco. How do you rate the nitecore tip? im getting a few for gifts this year with some nitecore tini as well all for non flashaholics. Thanks for making the review i had not see this unit. have a great day.
