Well this going to be a good news bad news situation!!Popular opinion says that xd's will not feed swc's.I know(as I reload for myself swc's that the xd 45 will feed and shoot reliablely them.It took alot of tinkering but not impossible.I found that lengthen the overall cartridge length in increments to engage feed ramp correctly.You will really like the xd,very accurate.Mine just has a spring kit to reduce pull, that is all.I did no ramp modifying at all.By the way, I am from sw N.D. we are under a blizzard warning right now!!
