Anyone recommend a brand of ammo that fires well from this pistol? Just picked it up yesterday but probably wont be able to fire it until next week or the week after. Just looking for some opinions so I know what brands to start with.

I saw one at a gun show and it was cool.

I think it had two different size ammo clips and was well made.

What did you pay $ for it?

Is it made in the U.S. Or Chec. Republic?

I really like the Hornady 165 gr JHP as does my Browning.You may have to try a few brand/load combos to find what your weapon prefers.My Browning isn't finicky..........clean ejections and good groups with almost any load/brand except Cor-Bon.I know it's not a Cor-Bon prob........I have another Browning 9mm that loves them.

BTW I have a Springfield XDm 3.8 on my spring want list.I need another concealable and this one fits the bill perfectly.Haven't decided on caliber yet.........9mm,40 or 45.Decisions,decisions,decisions.....................................

Fine for rifles and wheel guns......auto reloading is slightly more involved.After years of reloading some of my 9mm stuff I just quit.Too much decent fodder out there at a reasonable price to mess with it any longer(there's also some decent priced 40 and 45 practice fodder out there).I still run a few 25-06 and 44 loads through the press every year.

I think they are made in Croatia, but I could be wrong. I paid $270 for mine with the trade in of my 9mm so I didnt think it was a bad deal at all.

I figured I would try a few brands anyway but was hoping someone had some experience with a specific brand. Ammo is slim pickins around here and will run me about $20/box of 50, so that will get expensive trying to figure out what brand I like the best. Ron I will let you know how this gun fires when I get another break in the weather, the XD and XDm arent too far off from each other.

Yes Tony, it is Croatia. Congrates on the purchase. You're going to love this one. I bought my 9mm back in 2000 for $219 NIB, but that was before Springfield bought the import rights and tripled the price overnight.
