There are a few reasons that I don't like the XD.
1. I despise grip safeties.
2. The axis of the bore on the XD is way too high for me, resulting in more muzzle-flip than the Glock.
3. The XD is truly a single action pistol and is cocked and in battery when you chamber a round. The Glock is not.
4. The general consensus among most shooters that we have encountered was that the HS 2000 was a POS when it came out. Springfield Armory brought it back as the XD-9 and made it a hit. It is still made in Croatia and is still the same gun that the HS 2000 was but, since it now has SA's name on it, it somehow became good.
5. The XD's trigger reset is way too long. The Glock is much faster.
6. It feels good in my hand but I don't like the XD.
