I'd like to see one of these.

Springfield Armory XDS Single Stack .45ACP Micro
The new XDS from Springfield Armory. As a single stack, 5+1 45ACP, it is unrivaled for firepower and concealability.
It was a shock to shoot an ultra-compact, tiny, .45ACP pocket pistol and not have it be an unhinged feel to it. The XDS is a truly engineered pistol and extremely manageable.
This little dude is only 4.4 inches tall but feels like a much larger pistol when you shoot it.
This is the first single stack pistol for Springfield in the XD line. If you already carry an XD or an XD(M), the XDS is the perfect backup because the controls are the same.
The Springfield bay at the range today was one of the most busy. The XDS could be the biggest story of SHOT Show 2012.
George shooting the XDS for the first time. Everyone who shot this gun today was amazed at how easy it was to shoot. The .45ACP is sharp in a 29 ounce gun, but nowhere near unmanageable, and of no real hindrance to follow up shots.
The only thing missing from the XDS is the striker cocked indicator. It has a fiber optic front sight, and it is one inch thick, making it perfectly pocketable. I havnet seen what XD gear the XDS will come with, but I hope it is a pocket holster.
Left facing profile.
The XDS is a game changer in the concealed carry market. I am going to try to get them to make one with a heavy, revolver style trigger pull, which I would consider the ultimate pocket pistol ever created. Stay tuned. This is not the last you will see of the XDS on the GunsAmerica Blog!
