I like the color preferance on the XD, nice pick.
Grips are staying stock. Plenty grippy just the way they are. In fact, they leave a pretty cool pattern on my hands they are so grippy.

It's really tame. You can definitely tell you're shooting something but it isn't painful, doesn't jump around in the hand, and comes back on target well. After fifty rounds I was no worse for wear and could have kept shooting all day if I wanted to.
