I used to have an XD9 subcompact, carried it for a couple of years. Absolutely reliable pistol. Blocky little guy, though.
Saw a Glock 26 in my dealers case and thought I'd give it a try, though I was not a Glock person.
I loved the 26, slightly smaller in every dimension makes it a touch easier to carry.
No more XD, sold it, the 26 works better for me in every way.
