    Hiding from reality
    So I made this trade the other day, picked up a XD 45 and XD 9 for an Oly AR15 that just set in my safe. I went out tonight to put some rounds downrange with the 45, and out of 200 rounds, I had 4 failed to fire, all Fiocchi factory ammo. It ate all of my reloads and wwb 230 HP's with no problem. Anyone else ever have this problem? I checked over at the XD forum, and there was only 1 post claiming that its the Fiocchi ammo due to the hard primer.

    Other than that, it was a great shooter, but I just don't know if I can quit the 1911 (yes, I am a junkie). BTW, my kid sister wants to shoot and start carrying the 9, since it is so much smaller than her P89, which makes her butt look big:D
