Congrats on the Colt XS ! , I really their looks and hope to find one someday at a reasonable price.
I have had feeding problems as well with S&B in both Kimbers and Colts, although a friends Wilson likes it fine. I like the Federal 230 Grain FMJ or the CCI ammo, usually not too pricey and some of the big Sporting Goods Stores have promos on it.
As long as the extractor is tossing the cases consistantly in one direction I would leave it alone.
Don`t have an answer on the color rubbing off the holster on to the gun, I wouldn`t care for that myself and if it`s rubbing on the bead blasted "rounds" i.e. the top of slide or dust cover it will slightly polish them eventually. perhaps just rubbing the interior with an old T-shirt will cure this...
Some folks don`t like them, often because they don`t work in some 1911`s, but for $5 I would consider trying a recoil buffer, with the issue guide rod. I have found the " CP Buffs " work best for me.
I have been useing RIG +P Stainless Steel lube for the Rails/slides on SS Guns, although any Teflon based lube ( Rem Oil ) should be OK.
Thanks for the Report and Good Luck....
