I shot one all day. Here are my thoughts and results of the first day with the gun.
At 7 yards. I could knock the center out of the head on on IDPA target without much effort at all. A couple other guys all had the same experiance.
At 25 yards, off hand, shooting as quickly as I could accurately. I shot a group that I could cover with a paperplate. Long range accuracy was my biggest concern with this smaller pistol. Not anymore. I was impressed for a subcompact pistol.
I was shooting the house(room to room clearing) with it and the RO commented that I shot very well considering I was using a Subcompact. (Remember, this is my first day of shooting this thing).
I then went over and shot Clay Pigeons from about 15 yards(not flying. As targets). Out of the 10 targets, I only missed twice, but hit the one I missed with the next shot each time. The RO there told me that it was my fault, he could see me anticipating the shot and pushing the gun down just before I shot.

Clay pigeon shoot. Never expected the XD subcompact to do very well on this course of fire. But it ended up totally convincing me that the subcompact can be very accurate if you do your part. I'm impressed. (Not me shooting. Just a pic of the Clay Pigeon Shoot)
