9mm XD sub-compact ammo

sorry, I've searched around and cant seem to find an answer to my question.

got a XD sub-compact in 9mm and I am looking for suggestions for SD loads.

currently have Rem Golden Saber Bonded +P, 124 gr.

Is there a short barrel round that I should buy or is my Rem GS load good?

I've put a 10 rd and 16 rd mag through it and no failures or problems, but I just want to see what everyone here thinks. range ammo is of no concern to me but self/home-defense is where I want the best ammo regardless of cost.

thanks

You are good to go. Any good 9mm hollow point round will do well, and your Golden Sabers fill the bill well.

Speer makes a Gold Dot HP in +P 124 Grain especially for short barrels.

That's my recommendation and my preferred carry round in my XD 9 SC.

thanks i'll continue to use my current load and i'll pick up a box of Speer short barrel rounds for my next trip to the range. see if I can tell the difference and make a further decision from there.

Agreed Speer Gold Dot Short Barrels are the way to go, my choice.
