OMG, they just can't stop themselves, can they? 
5 Diff stores no ammo for poor Sweets.Good news is hubby had a message on the machine when I got home.Got your bullets see you when I get home from the club.Didn't say what brand or how many.But at least he found some.Starting to think I should have gotten the 40.
I feel your pain. I have a few lefties in my family, too. Just hit 'em with facts, and they usually end up not wanting to argue or debate anymore.
This is a video I like to show people who are confused by "evil looking rifles" and have been brain washed by the media to think that they are somehow more deadly than your standard hunting rifle: The Truth about "Assault Weapons" - YouTube
Did you shorten the grip on the XD? The slide looks long.
I've seen people cut down fullsize/compact Glocks, to flush-fit sub-compact mags. Like making a G19 take G26 mags.
Why should you have bought a .40? Ammo is difficult to find right now for any caliber. 9=40=45 in a handgun. There's no such thing as "stopping power". It's all about shot placement w/ a handgun.
I'd take a 9mm over a .45 over a .40 if I were limited to one or 2 guns.
Just keep your eyes open for ammo and get it when you can.
I think having to have "gun insurance" is ....ing ridiculous.
When I got in to guns, I had to deal with this from my Mother a bit. After she saw how much I loved guns and working on them, in general, she softened her stance on them.
Then I took her shooting. She loved it! Her favorite gun to shoot? AR-15 and PS-90. Who'd a' thunk it?

I would have it redone pro like or put it back in the closetsometimes you hurt value of a item by refurbishing it add in the fact its going to be first time and hmmmm lol..
J Stevens youth .22 isn't worth much.
Have it professionally done. Bluing is a nasty chemical process. I won't even do it. Or you could have it DuraCoated, GunKoted, etc.
