I did an informal test. I had my XD9 Service, two magazines, one box of WWB and one box of CCI. I shot 5 targets with WWB and 5 targets with CCI back to back, 10 rounds per magazine. I did not notice anything different between the two at 7 yards. I suppose if I benched the pistol and shot at 25 yards I *might* see a difference. But for what I do, it's all the same.

I've been shooting CCI Blazer Aluminum through my XD9. It's like $4.96 per box of 50 at Academy. It's a little cleaner than WWB. Also, the WWB boxes of 50 are like $4.63 at Walmart while the boxes of 100 cost more than two of the 50.

I'm in the same boat, except a month ahead of you. For now I'm just reading and learning. I have tried out two holsters and have been carrying at home to get used to it. Hopefully, when I actually carry in public I'll be more comfortable with it.
