Finally got the XD40SC - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have been looking at the Glock and XD lines of pistols since last August. Wednesday I finally bought the XD40SC. I bought two boxes of CCI Blazer Brass and went to the shooting range for some fun. I LIKE THIS PISTOL! First shot FTE. I worked the slide a few times and then shot 98 with no problems from the gun. One bullet failed to fire (twice), it got chucked down range. 2.5" groups at 5 yards, 3" at 8 yards free hand. Sights were right on the money. My wife said that it kicks more then our 45 ACP (I reload for a mild kick)
I ordered some Rainier 155 GR. FP and will start reloading with titegroup on Monday. Does anyone have any favorite loads for this combo?

I don't reload but I have noticed that the 180 gr. bullets have somewhat less recoil. The carry ammo I use, 180gr Win. Supreme SXT has the least amount of recoil out of this pistol in my opinion. I am very happy with this pistol.
