RE: fire arms thread ..since we like to share
Herb,
Which XD do you have?
Try the Tungsten guide rod. It's heavy as all hell and there is almost no muzzle flip at all. My 9mm Tactical barely even comes off target. The .40 Service is completely controllable.
I haven't tried in my .45, as it's bone stock except for the TrueGlo TFO's. That's gonna change real soon though.

Nice pistol bro. Really nice. I am selling a Glock model 17 9 mil with 3 mags and a nylon holster for 350 if anyone is interested.
As for California. California is the reason for the DPF, and all emission problems in the US. That is where it all starts. Anyone here ever been to Los Angeles? .....And was able to breathe or see?

here's a pic of mine when it was new. I've upgraded the holding tank to store more ammo, threw on a hair trigger, upgraded the pump to carbon fiber for quicker reload times and a laser sight. With the current set up, I can make little kids cry from about 50 yards. I'm known as the dark ninja at the family gatherings.

for you XD guys, the manual mentioned 2 ways for target aquisition and sighting.
1: "point of aim" point visible at the top of the front sight.
2: "6 o clock" sight in at bottom position of target
if you guys want an illistration, I will scan the page in.

You have to go to a indoor range nows days and I used to be just able to open the back door and try out a new gun, but they took all my trees for miles around.
And you use to have a bunch of places to shoot, it's just not the same shooting in doors, how are you going to get use to shooting with sweat running in your eyes, or rain for that matter.
Seabee's love to have you in the rain all week shooting and then on scoring day the sun comes out and throws your shooting off.
I want my over and under back,223 over 40mm grenade launcher under, AR-15/M203

Nice gun! the only piston I have in my collection is a Taurus .40. It's not real expensive but shoots good and serves it's purpose of sitting in my nightstand next to my bed.

The day I traded in my Glock 22 for my XD45 4" Compact was I day I'll never rue. Love this gun. And I sure as hell trust it to shoot when/where I need it too, should the need ever arise on duty.

I have a Fobus, but the paddle type still sticks out a bit farther than I'd like.
Now I have a Galco M7X Matrix (very minimal holster) or I use my Crossbreed Supertuck IWB.
Again, if you guys with XD's want to VASTLY improve the trigger feel on your XD's, let me know. I can get you either completely drop in parts or can fit parts for you.
My .40 Service has a total travel of less than3/8", 1/8" pretravel to clear the trigger safety, slight sear engagement, break, and about 1/8" over travel. It has a pull weight that averages 2lb 4oz - 2lb 9oz on a Lyman digital guage. The XD40SC is the same, except the weight, I have that up around 3.5 - 4 lbs for carry. The XD9 Tactical is a bit longer and not as light. I was shooting that in IPSC Production Division that has a 5lb trigger weight rule.
Here is where I generally get my XD parts from. Really great dude. SUPER fast shipping and great service. Can't say enough about him.

We are going to have to start an XD club here, here are mine, the sub-compact is my daily carry. They are both stock except I put trijicon tfo night sights on the sub. Typically carry in a fobus paddle hip holster.
