I picked Glock but in reality I would get a Sig or HK in the .40 caliber over both you listed
My Glock, a Glock 27, has had its problems. Recently I have had it lock back on a round three times
and I have had the slide lock up on me to the point where I could not field strip it. I have pinpointed the problem to the trigger safety, which has locked up due to (who knows? my guess...) carbon buildup.
I imagine the Glocks are the same way but another thing to keep in mind is that the XD40 can be converted to a 9MM or a 357SIG with just a barrel and magazine change. Like three guns in one.
Glock 23. 100% hands down. The XD doesnt even compare and shame on anyone who dares to compare that POS to a Glock. The XD is the 1911'ers answer to a tacticool pistol that does not say Glock but without the quality of the Austrian company.

Yeah... checked out the "NEW" XD and I am not jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon. Its quality of action and build does not compare to that of Glock or HK. But since some dopebag writers blow their ink on the thing everyone wants to blow their wallets too.
But if its trendy and "high fashion" you want then I guess the XD knew how to market their product. Guns are no different than clothing I guess
Go with quality, durability, and dependability. Save the hype for the mall ninjas and the 1911s for those who are affraid of progress/have insane amounts of disposable income or both.
