• Q: Will it take +P ammo ?

  A:

  Yes, according to Springfield all their xd line of pistols can handle +p. They just recommend limited use since it can wear parts out quicker than standard velocity ammo but every gun manufacturer will recommend limited use. As long as you aren't shooting thousands of rounds I doubt you'd ever notice a difference from standard velocity ammo. So yes, you're good to go and hope this helps.
• Q: My wife has a S&W M&P Shield 2.0 9mm. She likes it, but she has small hands and the grip is just a little too large for her to seat it in her hand properly and get good trigger engagement (trigger is at the tip of her finger pushing her shots to the left). How does this compare with the overall size of the grip?

  Michael, this is honestly about the same as the Shield Sir. I would give a strong look at the Springfield Hellcat : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/117926/springfield+armory+hellcat+9mm+3+11%2b113%2b1+night+sights

• Q: Is this the xd defender? I'm confused as to whether it comes with a 10 round or 13 round mag

  A:

  Ron, this UPC code pistol comes with (1) 10rd Magazine. Most manufacturers including Springfield make firearm packages that have 10rd magazines so their pistols can also be sold in state that have magazine capacity restrictions. The pistols are exactly the same but just have 10rd mags included. The pistols will also accept any standard capacity magazines just fine.
