I have really been thinking about another and getting the comp series like yours. I have the 40 I might get the 45 if I do it.

Just for kicks I messed with the tuper ware holster that came with the XD, even with tension screw completely loose. It takes a act of congress to skin that handgun efficiently. :o  I'll order a Kaluban Cloak for it in the AM.

One other thing I noticed, if you stuff one in the pipe from a fully loaded mag and shake the gun, it's quiet and tight. If you then drop the mag with the one round out of the mag in the chamber. Top off the mag with one more round andnseat it back in the handgun so as to have a full mag and one in the pipe. If you then shake the handgun the mag internals/spring rattle like a freight trai. >:(

Ditto for me.  I have the XDm 3.8 in 9mm and it is accurate and fun to pound rounds with.

Did you try that with both mags? I tested that with both mine. You know how much I CAN'T STAND RATTLES!!! Mine both stay tight and don't make any noise :dunno:

I have never used that little crappy holster that came with it. I have a inside the pants holster and a serpa I use.

Weird. What bullet are you testing it with? I have noticed a lot of difference in mag space between the hollow points and the fmj's. A little more angle on the hollow points and it gives them a little more slack in there. The fmjs with there fuller profile seem to really fit tight. You put one in the pipe and then 16 in the mag "on my 40" boy is it tight!

The holster that comes with them sucks, though you make a very cool vehicle holster with that and the speed loader.
