.45 has no advantages over other calibers
Polymer frames feel like shit
Striker guns have garbage tier triggers.

Nothing about that gun interests me.

>>33023081
It some how manages to have a worse trigger than Glock and M&P, and it has a dumb 1911 grip safety without the benefit of the light single action trigger.

Stopping power. 9mm will stop a guy strung out on meth or PCP but it might take 20-30 minutes

>>33023566
>muh stopin powah

durability is sub par
reliability is sub par
i fucking hate grip safeties
cunt salespeople shove them down your throat cause they're more expensive then similar and better guns
its a marketing trap cause it a fucking croation made and designed gun with one of americas most historical firearm name tatted on its ass like a cheap hooker
it represents everything i hate about the modern firearm industry

>>33023081
I'm a firm believer in "function over form", but XDs are fucking hideous imho.

As both an m&p and xdm owner, I'm going to have to seriously disagree with you.

Glock+Gadget is better, there is no disputing this.

The XD line gets shit on by people that have never fired them.

As you become an OK shot trigger quality is measured in different metrics than as a noob.

M&P is far superior anyways

>>33023081
striker fired sucks
glocks suck

so this sucks

I wish grip safeties would die.

It's a fine gun mechanically, some of the design choices are undesirable, both related to function and aesthetics.

>>33023566
There's a police report of a guy taking over 20 rounds of .45 and still fighting

I Have fired them, maybe its personal preference, but I thought the trigger had a super vague break. Maybe people prefer that to the staple gun of the M&P. I can't imagine people preferring it to the gritty but serviceable Glock.

This is well documented right? Pull your head out of your ass kiddo.

>"I keep track of failures in all classes; currently the XD reigns supreme with 19 over the past 4 years. This accounts for any failure that could not be remedied by immediate or remedial action; examples include; grip safety failing to reset, grip safety failing to engage, broken guide rod, broken striker, fractured chamber wall, fractured striker face wall, cracked slide, trigger shoe failure and on and on. "XD" covers XD, XDmod 2, XDS and XDM. The counting continues.

Random other anon here, wasnt the XD in contention with the M&P and Glock for an ATF contract a ways back but failed out because of high levels of parts failures?

>>33030157
i take it back, that was Sig back in 2010.
