Peter,
I've not carried one and when using a holster I do carry the gun high on my belt and tight to my body, so I may experience the same thing as you.
However that's a pretty simple thing to remedy.
Microgunner,
I agree about the ambi safeties I'm not fond of them either.
I also don't like oversized paddles on thumb safeties, but I can als remedy that pretty easy, and most likely would if I get one.
Texshooter,
I agree they are pricey compared to the plastic guns but the little Springfield seems to be a quality piece.
Plus they have a trigger system I'm used to and shoot well.
The one I shot has a trigger pull that's really sweet and that was right out of the box.
Hairbag,
I've wondered how the 40 would be, I would love to try one.
Overall I believe Springfield has hit a home run with this one and I plan on getting one as soon as my distributors get some in stock.
Best Regards
