Anyone here have experience with multiple XD pistol variatons? I just had a chance to take my Mod.2 Compact to the range, but I curious about how the XD(M) compact with the longer barrel, slide that doesn't taper towards the top, and interchangeable back straps would shoot. Also, the XDS has a Glock style trigger that might be a little better than the trigger the double stacks.

Yeah. My friend owned an XDM and I had the fullsize XD. We both bought it with that rebate offer they did a while back.
We eventually came to our conclusions about them after a few months. Basically we realized that we just tried to get a cheaper Glock. We eventually put our GRIP ZONE™ in the TRASH ZONE™ and bought Glock 19's because we weren't going to be kidding ourselves anymore. After that I got a new 6 figure job, a smoking hot wife, and now my 3rd kid is on the way. My friend joined the Army and he's 1 month away from finishing the green beret pipeline.

What were your issues with the XD and XDM?

Why would I want a copy of a Glock that is only slightly less when I can just buy the real thing and get rid of gimmicks like a grip safety and a GRIP ZONE™. It's also half an inch shorter and lighter. Plus I can get any kind of holster I want.

Because you liked its features better? Besides the more squared profile, I don't see how it is a cheaper Glock any more than other striker fired pistols.
Purchased the mod 2 9mm about two weeks ago. Can't say I regret it at all. My only real concern so far is the grip safety. It's mildly annoying that it has to be depressed in order to field strip. This might get old over time, but for now it's not a big issue.
I have an XDS. I wanted a single stack and it has a better trigger than the Glock, shield and LC9. Fiber optics out of the box and it being just a bit heavier was all a plus to me.
I'm not some mall ninja faggot so the grip safety doesn't matter to me. I'm not going to play dress up and go innawoods and fuck it up.
They are well built and affordable. They shoot fine and have some more features most in their price range don't have. And unlike a Glock you don't have to replace the barrel, grip, sights, and trigger for it to feel good and shoot well.

I didn't even notice that when I took mine apart before. Here is mine in dark earth. I like it, but I'm debating on whether to keep it or not. There are some other pistols I want to try out too.
I've had my gen 2 XDs for about 3 years now and I've carried it near everyday. I love it. I use an alien gear holster slot of the time and it just disappears.
I also had the

Yeah, I don't like having GRIP ZONE stamped on the side, but the gun feels pretty good. I didn't think there was much difference in the triggers in the new XD, XD Mod.2, and XDM. I may like the XDS DA trigger better, but I haven't had the chance to shoot one.
