You should put at least several hundred rounds through it, preferably with a knowledgable instructor, before considering carrying a weapon everyday. And remember that shooting is a perishable skill. If it's not used often enough, you will lose it....... Which is probably why I couldn't hit the ducks worth a frick this season! Lol.
I've shot pistols my whole life and own a 9mm and a .45(both too bulky for what I want), and used to shoot rather frequently until ammo demand got higher than gold. And I'm going with the XDS for safety reasons as much as size, cant beat a grip safety, trigger safety, and a chamber signal.

I'm not buying this one to shoot a hair off a fly's *** while running around a shooting range rolling in the dirt, I'm buying it to put on Jerome's forehead when he wants my wallet.
