I’m reaaaaally pleased with my XDS right now... pleasure to shoot, accurate, (I shot 2 mags at 18” steel plate at 50 yds and hit every time)... I just used NanLube at all the critical points...

We need one of those. Can’t have too many XD variants. I just got a new carry purse that lets me carry my XD9 subcompact and ditch the piece of crap Kahr I was carrying.

:D Nice to hear. The XDS is on top of my ‘buy list’... has been for a while though. Need to pay a couple bills first. I keep telling Jen she might like the 45 version but she wants to wait for the 9mm that is supposedly due out soon.

Glad to hear about another satisfied Nanolube customer. I estimate my successful projects depend on Nanolube for about 50% of that success.

Speaking of success, I'm already testing defensive ammo in the M&P Shield while putting another 100 rounds of ball for break-in. Out of three different brands tested so far, the Glaser Pow'RBall in .40S&W has performed the best by far in vey limited ($32/20 limits a lot of testing) study. But it produced the best results of the three different brands, along with being an absolute creampuff to shoot in this small a handgun.

I have also discovered that placement of my trigger finger has a major influence on accuracy. In three-out-of-three different handguns, I got much better results with the fingertip joint on the trigger, rather than the pad of the fingertip. YMMV, and I don't think this may apply to rifles.

And the CZ P09 has already proven itself right out of the box, and will be fed a diet of dog-and-cat ammo, along with testing the remaining defensive ammo left over from the Shield tests. Not bad for the first mag, out of the box, but with a quick Nanolube treatment.

After about the first six rounds, I was disappointed because I thought I was missing the target completely. I brought the target back, and saw they were all in the black. Then I remembered that all my CZs do that. So I went back to shooting, testing out trigger pull, shooting comfort, etc.

Basically, everything was flawless. 7.5 lb long trigger pull, 3.5 lb short pull, and it will probably go down a bit more with break-in. Short, audible and tactile trigger reset, this gun makes double-taps a no-brainer. Comfortable grip, especially with the smallest backstrap insert. Felt recoil was definitely less than some 9mms I own. Overall, equal or better performance than some quality handguns costing $300-400 more.

If you don't mind an ugly weapon, but one that is more comfortable to shoot than a lot of 9mm brands out there, and carries 16 rounds in the magazine, this is definitely a "best buy".
