I like the XDS but haven't shot the 45 only the 9mm, How's the recoil?

I was pleasantly surprised by how mild the recoil was when I shot my brothers. It actually seemed softer shooting than the Glock 36 I had years back. Definitely a fun little pistol to shoot, and accurate!

How do you like the grips so far, will you stipple/talon grip or leave them alone?

I like the color preferance on the XD, nice pick.

Grips are staying stock. Plenty grippy just the way they are. In fact, they leave a pretty cool pattern on my hands they are so grippy.

It's really tame. You can definitely tell you're shooting something but it isn't painful, doesn't jump around in the hand, and comes back on target well. After fifty rounds I was no worse for wear and could have kept shooting all day if I wanted to.
