Well, I put 300 rounds through the XD yesterday. This gun wants to be a shooter! In spite of my having too much caffiene prior to my time on the range......not one shot was out of the X ring at 25 feet (paladin target). I shot some Winchester White box, 180grain Ball. Shot some MagTech 180grain ball. And of course shot some Federal HydraShoks 180grain Personal Defense, and Corbon 165grain HP. The XD kept everything in the 9 ring or better at 50 feet......and every shot made for the head......was in the head, at either range.

Truth of the matter is the gun would have shot better but I had taken the wrong contact lenses......and drank too much coffee before the session. But those are frequently the same circumstances I'd face if I was using the sidearm for serious social purposes! So in that regard.....it was a fair test!

I will most decidely be back to the range either later this week......or next weekend! (Also shot my ParaOrdnance P12-45......but I was having too much fun with the XD to leave it lay for long. The Para only got 100 rounds this weekend! It had Win. white box 230gr. ball, MagTech 230gr. ball, and Federal HydraShoks 230gr. Per. Defense.) Oh well......always another day!

P.S. Also picked up a FIST IWB Kydex strong side RH, a great holster! Plus looking for a nice crossdraw for auto travel! Let you'll know what it is.....when I get it. (Until I decide on which crossdraw, I've order a Roto Paddle as a stopgap.)
