I fired it at one time and it kicked like a damn mule. Furthermore, even though he cleaned it religiously after shooting it (which wasn't often) and even upgraded the trigger, it still had issues that I'm not going to go into detail about.

Ok, so my friend buys and XDs and loves it. He shoots it all the time and he flat out says it's better than the Kimber, period. So he ends up selling the Kimber (for what he paid for it $1,100) and keeping the XDs.
I am still better with my S&W 1911 when it comes to target shooting, but the XDS is no slouch even though it has roughly half the barrel.

The trigger is what surprised me. It reminds me of a two-stage, the first part of the trigger pull is very light, and the last part is crisp and short.
