Breaking in the XD
Okay so today was my first visit to the range with my new XD .45 5" tactical. Shot 250 rounds of 230g hollow point with no jam. Barrel was smoking to all hell and my thumbs are a little sore from all the reloading but the gun never jammed was flawless.
Oh and my aim was horrible for the first 100 rounds. but whats to be expected haven't fired a pistol in over 6 years.

You can get magazine assists for reloading. they work really well, especially if you have a low cap mag and need to reload a lot.

Sounds great!
Does the tactical have 14 round magazines?

A nice smooth gun. I had one until last week. (XD 45 5" Tactical) Easy to clean, too. Enjoy it!

 ).AFAIK, the magazines from the S&W .40 fit a variety of different high cap handguns. So, if I had a couple of those magazines from before the ban and they fit a new handgun, I'd still be OK to use them in the new weapon (again, As Far As I Know it should still be OK but I have NOT researched this issue because I don't have any other handgun which will accept a double stack magazine). Interestingly enough, if I take my handgun to a local gunsmith for repair work HE has to supply a low cap magazine in order to test fire it. And, if the problem is a magazine fit or feed problem, using a new magazine may not (probably won't) solve the problem. Stupid, eh? My point is that being in Ca is not a blanket disqualification for owning/posessing high capacity magazines.
