Can't understand why Springfield does not include a mag loader in their XDS pistol. The springs in the new mags are very stiff and if you have arthritis in the hands, like I do, bullets are very tough to load. Solution.... I sold a Glock 19 last year and kept the mag loader. To ease the use with the XDS mags, I glued pieces of wood (paint stir sticks) into the mag loader to better align the mag in the loader. Works like a champ, easy fix.
