Better than Glock fo show. Accurate, reliable, comfortable to hold, 100% runs on anything you feed them (again, reliable). And as already said, a good package.

People don't like them because made in Croatia and grip zone. I have an XDs 9 that I've shot and carried a lot, it's a good gun. It got replaces by a P365.

My early XD 45 full size is the best shooting gun that I or anyone I let shoot it have enjoyed.
That being said, it is a massive gun and too big except anything but the range. |

Xdm .40 3.8 was my first gun, shot it well and had no issues but then I found sigs
 Same with my XDS.45 great gun but traded up. I did sell it my XDM, I'm kind of sad because it was my first gun but it was just kicking around. I now have a SA Hellcat that I CCW. |

I bought a used XD .40 for my first handgun, because I didn’t read about guns on the internet back then so I didn’t know they are garbage and embarrassing to own. It’s at least 10 years later and I still have it and it still works fine, I like it, and hasn’t given me any problems.

No they are not junk. Unfortunately I was unable to post before some yamhead offered a witty "Grip Zone" meme. They are solid pistols, despite the hate they get around here.
I have two, an XD 40 Tactical and a 5.25 XDM 9mm. Really like both of them, but the 5.25 is a favorite. I like the ergos better than a G34. |

I have a 1911 of theirs but all the internals have been upgraded one way or another before I got it. If I found one of theirs guns I wanted that was used for a decent price I would go for it but I really don't need to get into another platform after my Glocks and my HKs. I picked up a Saint AR pistol that way. NIB from a guy who was told "no" by his wife. Cabelas wouldn't take it back so I bought it for cash in the parking lot for about .70 on the dollar. |

I carried one for years on duty and never had any problem. Not one single fte, ftf etc the whole time shooting regular fmj or shitty old old ammo. But I don't carry it ccw or havent really even shot it in a long time. This is a xd45 tactical 5 inch before the xdm or the grip zone.
ETA: Trigger is a little squishy but I would consider it a better trigger than non gen 5 glocks |

The guns are fine, nothing wrong with a Croatian made pistol. I don't like the fake "Since 1794" logo, it's obviously made to trick retards and fudds. It seems in the gun industry that names get bought and sold a lot but the fake government arsenal Springfield Armory logo is annoying.
They also got caught doing antigun fuckery that would exclude themselves in IL along with RRA. |

Between me and my two sons, we have many XD's.
Recently I did a 4 day pistol course at Frontsight, a full 25% of the pistols on my range were XD's. Zero issues. The last two guys remaining in the shoot off both were using XD's. Crap I guess........... grin! |

I have an XDm9 and it's been more accurate and as reliable as many other similar polymer/striker pistols I've owned.
A friend has an XD in .40 that he carries daily. He prefers it to pretty much everything else he has. |

Not sure if it’s changed in recent years, but Springfield playing games with factory parts probably doesn’t help.
Every single part should be easily available to the consumer. |

They were sold under a different name before they were relabeled the XD series.
Early ones had rust issues, that being said, I never saw one that didn't run at the start of the 40 cal fad. Had an XDS45 that had issues, Springfield wouldn't respond to inquires about getting it repaired and I walked away. |

I have 2 XDs and 1 XDM.
I am very proficient with all. Prefer the XDM over my FN 509. I just wish I could find a barrel conversion for the XDM .40 to switch to 10mm. |

XD-M 10mm with 5" barrel is one of the best handguns I ever had. It has the best striker fire
trigger. |

I had a Gen 1 OD lower and I chromed the slide since the finish sucked.
I enjoyed it, sold it. It was a safe queen since I carried by HK .40. Sold it and bought a GSG-5 with a bunch of mags and a case. |

A lot of instructors were reporting seeing issues with student's xds.
I don't think they really saw serious adoption by military or police, which tells you a lot. |
