Does anyone know what the chamber pressure specification is for the XDs?

I sent an e-mail to SA asking if an XD could shoot NATO specification ammo and their reply was to use factory ammo. Not a lot of help.

It would seem that since this pistol is made in Croatia and has been adopted by the Croatian army that NATO ammo would be ok, but I don't know for sure.

I've shot nothing but Winchester 124gr NATO through my 9mm XDs, no probs. My old Service is probly around 3,000rds of the stuff but I can't find that ammo anymore.

I've shot quite a bit of Win. NATO ammo through my XD9 service with no problems. The XD has a NATO stock number so one would assume that it would shoot NATO ammo.

How do you recognize a NATO stock number?

 

[Jack the Toad]

The NATO stock number for the XD is:1005-99-500-4480. It is not on the guns .At least that is the one I got when I looked it up.

It will handle it just fine, and some hotter stuff too. *as always, YMMV*

the full supported chamber will allow for +p and +P+ ammo. I doubt NATO ammo is any hotter than +P+
