Have you held the S&W M&P Shield? I've held both the XDS and Shield. The Shield weighs less and feels better in the hand, for me. The shield is cheaper too.
The shied only comes in 9mm and .40, as opposed the XDS also coming chambered in .45.
Grady's currently has a Shield and XDS so you can compare.
I was dead set on the XDS (in 9mm) until I held the Shield. I've heard everyone say they liked the trigger pull on the XDS better. After dry firing the Shield, I found it's trigger pull was lighter, shorter, and had way less take-up. Maybe it was just the Shield and/or XDS I tried... but I don't see what the rage is over the XDS trigger when compared to the Shield.
