Why
because people hold Glocks, then XD, and find the grip more comfortable. Some like the grip safety also - while I don't think it is necessary, it IS easier to activate, then the 1911. It also has a FPB, for 'more safety'. It is mostly because of the grip - it was for me. The XD45C is amazingly slim for a 10 round compact 45. Also, the 'modular' design of a pistol which comes with interchangeable longer mags on the subcompact and compact models, which perfectly match to the frame is very nice. The Glock grip CAN be fine, but takes a little getting used to and does feel more blocky.
On the 'metal guns'. The XD is still a little lighter than some allow models, and can give yo more flexibility. Compare a P220 vice the XD45C.
