Man, talk about a pistol that's hard not to like... The XD is just the bees knees for anyone looking for a pistol to shoot USPSA Production division, IPDA, or just anyone that wants to own a pistol that is very nearly perfect right out of the box.

The only thing I don't like about the XD is the stickiness of the grip - there isn't any. Thank heavens for grip tape, because the addition of TruGrip on the XD is like night and day. Not only is recoil recovery improved, the simple act of indexing the pistol on the draw is radically improved.

Some day over the rainbow, gun designers will give up on the "Lexus, bar-of-soap" design feel. Until that day, there is TruGrip.

Grip tape ain't forever. All grit-type grips wear out sooner or later. We're just willing to admit it publicly. TruGrip is designed to be easily replaceable. So, if your grip tape loses traction, gets dirty, or gets covered in oil, just rip it off and slap on a new piece and you're ready to roll.

For the hard-core shooter who is handling his or her gun several hours a day, the tape will last on the order of weeks to several months. For the casual shooter, it'll go a lot longer than that. The grit doesn't seem to wear off . When it loses traction, it is because it is loaded up with dirt and oil. You can clean it up with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush, or be impatient like me and peel it off and slap on a new piece.
