Best ammo for xds 9 recommendations please

[tkdguy]

I have found, that my Springfield XD subcompact 40 shoots to point of aim with 135 grain JHP, but 180 grain hits several inches low at 21 feet. Seems odd. I have an XDS 9 as well. Any recommendations for ammo finding some brands more accurate than others in this particular model. Thanks for your recommendations.

Sorry did not see this thread earlier. I have shot a lot of 115 Ball out of mine, because, like a Lemming, I bought cheap. I have had better results with 124 grain ammo in general. I have shot Ball, and four makes of JHP. I have always felt this was my wife gun to use and it has a CT green laser on it so my testing perceptions are non-standard.

How accurate are you looking to be with a sub compact gun?

Pie plate at 15yards or cup coaster?


I like the hornedy critical defense.

I also like Federal HST and Speer Gold Dot.

These were tested out of a short barrel I believe.

I'm thinking 21 feet or so. Looks like lesser grain Federal HST penetrates further, but accuracy is not know.

I'd recommend selling the Springfield and getting a Glock I'll never support Springfield Armory after the stunt they pulled..

Sig Elite V-Crown is my Favorite 9mm in 124gr or Hornady Critical Defense

Yeah they beat the NRA to it

I like my seven Springfield's and don't plan on selling or trading them.

Both my Shield and XD Subcompact like the Federal HST 9mm 124gr or 147gr, both take out pesky paper plates center mass out to roughly 25 feet without much effort.
