Long story short I will be switching to a Glock 26 when I get the chance.

Short story:

I went to the range and shot 100 rounds through my XDS. Total of 5 light primer strikes on Federal Champion 230g FMJ.

I also shot my Dad's old Jennings J-22 pistol. That thing is probably almost as old as I am and I'm 26. It's been used and abused. I replaced the recoil spring, firing pin spring, extractor, extractor spring, and bought a new magazine for it.

Now bear in mind J-22s are known to be cheap inexpensive guns and are known to malfunction constantly. On top of that, .22 rimfire isn't the most reliable cartridge.

Total number of malfunctions from a J-22 firing 100 rounds of CCI Mini Mags HP: 1 stove-pipe

So my dad's J-22 is more reliable than my XDS. 1 stove-pipe vs 5 light primer strikes firing 100 rounds each.

Quite impressed by that little J-22. It was pretty accurate for what it is. Had better groupings at 5 yards than the guy standing next to me shooting a Ruger Mark II at the same distance. (He was probably a bad shot but still)

If you looking to sell the XDS PM with details of price, why are you wanting the 26? I've shot the 27 and loved it

.22 is the best choice for range shooting in my opinion. just picked up the extremely hard to find sr22 today from armslist.com, got 1k rounds, hard case, nice gun lock, extra mags, all for 300$ cant beat that. ammo is not cheap.

if anyone has is looking for a .22 pistol sr is the route to take. easy one button take apart. shoots bulk ammo like it was the nice exoensive stuff, and is accurate enough to where I would shoot 3 inch groups at 20 yards no problem.

but if you ever want to sell the old xd. id buy her. im shopping for a xd9, g17, g19 right now.
