I've got a couple of XD Mod 2 Service full size guns in "Bitone." One is a 9, and the other a 45. The biggest gripe that I've heard about them is over the "Grip Zone" logo molded into the grip, and a lot of folks tend to hate on the grip safety. I guess none of them has ever shot a 1911. I can't even feel the grip safety when I'm holding the gun correctly, which is very comfortable and natural, BTW...Grip Zone or not.
The triggers are a little stiffer than I'd like, but the guns' inherent accuracy is among the best that I've ever experienced with any semiauto that I've ever shot. I was putting 2", 20 round holes into the bullseye, shooting slow fire from a Weaver stance at 10 yards with both of my guns on a pretty regular basis.
The loaded chamber indicator barely stands above the slide, unlike the draw bridge apparatus that the Ruger SR guns are blessed with.
I've also got a couple of Glocks that I like very well. Although I like their triggers a little better, I have to work to shoot them as well as the XD's. I wouldn't be afraid to buy another one.
