Hmmm... My father in law killed a deer at about 15 yards with a ParaOrdnance 1911 shooting 230 grain FMJ Blazer Brass. Small Texas doe, but just crumbled on the spot and died. Broad side heart shot, with an exit. Not saying a 300 lb. monster deer would have the same result, but I've seen the 45 do it's work. Are deer really tougher than human beings? The 45 has been stopping bad guys for how long?
I'm a 10mm guy myself, don't even own an automatic 45, but I would give it a go with your XD if you can hit what you're aiming at. I would be sure of what shots I could definitely make at what range, and stick to that.
