Mistreating my XD

It was a quick stress test, and while I felt a little bad about it at the time, I know it was necessary now.

While in the desert, I opened the action, and poured sand into the pistol, making sure it got everywhere, then blew on it to get the excess off.

I slapped the mag back in, closed the action, and fired off 10, reloaded and fired off 10 more with no problem.

I felt odd about purposely mistreating one of my posessions, but now realize that testing reliability under extreme conditions is probably best done when the conditions aren't life threatening... So, do you trust your firearm in all conditions?

No pistols were harmed in the making of this post.
All pistols were cleaned shortly after use.
