I had an XD 9 back when they first came out. Honestly it was a decent shooter and never gave me any problems. I got rid of it though when I realized the Glock 19 was what I had really been looking for. Once I had a G19 all the little annoying things about the XD started to become more apparent: shitty finish that almost wiped off with paper towels, quick rusting slide due to said shitty finish, spongy trigger, and the grip safety. I don't think they are bad guns, but they simply do not make sense when you could get a Glock for the same or less money and have a better pistol with more aftermarket support.
