That Kahr was eventually traded to a friend who liked it more than I did. Watching several YouTube videos "Hickok 45" has a couple good ones with the XDs and you have to love his personal range.
Again the amazing aspect of the XDs is the size, I was expecting it to be a lot larger that the Shield but it's nearly identical in size. Taking it apart it exhibits great build quality and the stainless slide is beautifully machined. So far not having fired it I like it and think it will make for a great CCW.
