Talon Grip Tape
Even though my grip tape is not here yet for the XD-S, I want to suggest that if you have never tried Talon, you should do so. I prefer the rubber texture over the sand paper, and have it on a couple of Glocks. Makes for better grip on the sub compacts. Just thought I would throw this out here as a first post in this section.

Similar to Critical Defense, but not quite the same. The Critical Defense have a red material with a slightly round tip in the end of the FTX bullet. The Zombie Max has a white material with a fairly flat tip in the end of the Z-Max bullet. Not sure what the difference is between the materials. Their published ballistic info is very similar. The Critical Defense has a nickel plated casing vs plain brass for the Zombie Max.yea that mag is loaded with Hornaday Zombie Max

I hope you were shooting Zombie targets. The Hornady site is very specific about using those rounds ONLY on Zombies!

All the different caliber Zombie Max rds I have come with a green material tip, that's how I recognized thepunk88's.
Both the Critical Defense and Zombie Max tips are polymer, just one red, one neon green.

Sorry about that. thepunk88's pic was pretty bright and it looked white to me. Looked closer just now and I can see the green tint.Similar to Critical Defense, but not quite the same.

The bullets look pretty similar to me except for the color. The scoring for the hollow point looks a little shorter on the Z-max than the FTX. On my Critical Defense rounds the scoring extends about half way from the end to the OD near the casing. This looks like about 1/3 of the way.
Talon grips on both my s & 9
I owe you folks a pic of my Talon grips installed. Up here in the N, they are a nice improvement when shooting outdoors, in the cold, bare handed, compared to the OEM grip. Nice tactility. BTW, I like my XD-s so much, it is only the cost of ammo that brings me back to my XD-9.

yogiboobooranger, I need to look into reloading. I'd probably enjoy the process as well as the savings. Any suggestions on primers on how to get started in reloading?
