I used to own an XD45 Tactical, and all of my friends who have handguns own at least one Glock, so I've ran a few of them. IMO, they basically feel the same, the grip on the XD is more ergonomic to me, the grip angle was perfect, but everyone is different. It sat well in my hand, but I found that my XD was a tad wide for my mitts in .45. The 9mm and .40s have a smaller grip. My Stumpy fingers couldn't quite wrap the handgun properly and pull the trigger, lol. It would taste a lie to say I've had that complaint with a Glock. The specific XD I had got a hard workout right out of the box, other than a quick clean and lube, it ran the 250 rounds I had with nary a malfunction. The slides feel like they're easier to point than a Glock, which feels top heavy to me, probably because the slide width is cut down a hair. Price wise, they're a deal and a half over the glock, with all of the extras one gets with an XD. SA even has deals from time to time where they give away extra mags with the pistols. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one, and I will be picking up a micro for my EDC CCW soon-ish.
