www.xdtalk.com has various reports about some problems with the pistol, and a seperate forum for rust problems. (Rusty tales.) It looks like you are shooting a 45 and I understand the finish is different. I don't own one but I have been considering one. Some seem to need a break in period, some don't like cheap ammo, and they include some reports of parts failures. At the same time, many work like a top for thousands of rounds so I am trying to sort it all out.
