I picked up my Springfield XD-E back in November(http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?347663-First-range-time-with-new-Springfirld-XD-E). Since that time I have put over 1000 rounds through it. It continues to get smoother as I go.
So far, it has functioned flawlessly. No failures to fire or function of any type. I have fed it my cast reloads as well as plated bullets and new ammunition. It shoots slightly more accurately with jacketed than cast or plated. Not certain why.
I find I prefer the 9 round magazines because of the slightly longer grip they provide. The fiber optic sights are easy to pick up.
I am not a great shot by any means. Off hand, I can hold the 9 ring on a standard silhouette target out to 15 yards about 95% of the time. The pistol is capable of much better than that. I haven't shot it from a rest yet.
For practice, I would rather the trigger was a bit lighter, but this is for carry so it can't be considered a problem.
I have no real complaints about the gun and would recommend it unreservedly given my experience with it.
