Nice piece, my buddy's got the .40 cal version of that and I've put quite a few rounds through it and it's very serviceable for a polymer pistol. I can't get used to the weight balance myself, as I'm a steel frame guy, but if I had to carry, the xd is a great choice. Try the Hornady TAP ammo as that was very accurate in the .40 that I shot. Congrats on the purchase.
