RE: XD is pretty sweet.
This one was just a rental, so I just threw some cheapo 230grain FMJ ball at it. Did fine, but you'd expect it to, with rounded shiny bullets. I think the brand was American... something-or-other, in a red box.
If you are aware of feeding probs, please let me know, as I'm considering this purchase for potential use in "close range interpersonal crisis management", should the need ever arise.
I like the Para a lot too, but the light rail is the 1913 config instead of the standard civilian one that Glock and many others use. Go figure, I already have a light that works on the standard, not the 1913.
