I have been on a search to help lessen the recoil from my xd45ap tac. I started with an "enhanced grip". Used my dremel and carefully removed all the grip texture on the handle. I actually was able to "embed" or "inlay" those areas. Using skateboard tape and superglue, I have an extremely "gripable" handle, the gun does not move at all when it is fired.
Secondly, I bit the bullet ( sorry for the pun) and purchased the Tungsten guide rod. Wow, it is much heavier than the lead-filled one I had. Lastly, I have the slide and barrel "autoported" at Mag-Na-Port. Got it back in less than a week. The cuts in the slide and barrel are very clean and
"cool" looking. After 100 rounds, I still have no problem seeing the front sight, it is not that "sooty" at all. It is not necessaryly "louder", just a different sound. After all these improvments, the recoil, muzzle rise is not higher that 2 inches, very quick to bring back on target, Can't wait for the local action pistol competition to see how it does. To be honest, I was surprised with the "autoporting", it turned out great. Anyway, just wanted to "brag", I guess
