Your might try a box of Underwood XTP +P ammo. It's what I use in my CZ-82 and puts out about 50% more energy than the Hornady FTX round ( which I DO use in my FEG smc-918). The solid CZ-82 handles the Underwood +P ammo easily .I like my CZ 82 with Hornady FTX 9mm Makarov rounds for carry. It's comfortable to carry and I shoot it well and has 12 + 1 capacity . It's the best choice for me. Your mileage may vary.
How is having to use half of your slide as a front sight at 1oo yards versatile? no, it's not versatile at allI carry .45 simply because for me it's more versatile..
Maybe what he means is there is a wider spread of ammunition design for the .45 over the 9mm and I think that is true. Most 9mm is 115 or 124 grain with a bit of 147 grain. I just looked at one site for .45 and they had 140, 185, 200, 220, and 230. I don't think anyone using a XDS, which is the subject gun here would reasonably be faced with a 100 yard shot, even with the 4 inch barrel version. I own a XDS in both 9mm and ,45, they are identical in external dimensions to include the identical sights. The ,45 is a 5 + 1 gun and the 9mm is a 7 + 1 gun with the flush magazines the extended magazine adds 2 rounds, of the respective caliber. I carry the 5 +1 and in my offside pocket I have the 7 round magazine for a reload. The 9mm uses the same holster, but would have 20 extra rounds for each magazine. It is a choice, I continue to carry the ,45How is having to use half of your slide as a front sight at 1oo yards versatile? no, it's not versatile at all

Ooh, thanks for the schooling... no kidding. lol. This thread is about "concealable carry" and many people carry their "concealable carry" gun into the field.I don't know what you're shooting at 100 yards across the open prairie with a 9mm pistol, but there's a big difference between an offensive and defensive weapon..
