everything is relevant in certain states...Iowa for instance, has no Stand Your Ground Law or Castle Doctrine--think a bloodthirsty DA trying to score points for making an example out of a CCP Holder wouldn't use anything he could to paint a picture? I agree, it would only be a minor concern, but to say it isn't something you need to ponder is not really true...same goes with handloaded SD Ammo...
Bit off on the facts here R3dbull. Iowa does have a castle doctrine, but I'll agree to the stand your ground law being sketchy. Here's the snippet form Iowa code 704.1 that deals with use of deadly force in ones home:
"Reasonable force, including deadly force, may be used even if an alternative course of action is available if the alternative entails a risk to life or safety, or the life or safety of a third party, or requires one to abandon or retreat from one's dwelling or place of business or employment."

Only situation I can see where that law would meet a DA who was hell bent on prosecuting a home owner would be if some 10 year old kid wandered into an unlocked house and was gunned down. Though, I imagine that would be similar in almost any state.
An xds is one the list. Waiting for Black Friday. Just looking for something to make it more enjoyable at the range. Shot a shield and would rather have the 709. Gonna rent a kahr on the next trip to the gun shop. Again thanks for the replies, and the links.
Don't know of any smiths up in that area, we have one in Davenport IA that worked on my buddies PT1911 trigger... Did a nice job and got the trigger around 4lbs but my buddy paid a pretty penny for it. At request of the smith he had to order several other parts, I don't know too much about smithing though so I can't tell you much more than that
