I don't. But you might want to specify for which model, caliber and whether it is intended for factory (commercial) ammo standard or +P loads, or roll your own with std / hi / reduced power competition loads.

I have an XD-40 service. I put in a Don's guide rod (non tungston) and Wolff 22# spring. That combo does exactly what you are asking about. IMO reduces perceived recoil by about 40% and the muzzle seems to go more straight up and down as opposed to torgueing up to the left with the OEM guide rod and spring. If I remember correctly, the guide rod and spring came to about $40. including S & H. Well worth it for the benefit.
