We have one on the stable. I picked ours up about 10-11 years back. Long ago, the Springfield XD's were known as HS2000's. I truly can't recall who first imported them but they didn't seem to go over that well.

Then Springfield Armory picked up the XD's and put their name on it. They started to sell like hotcakes then. I first picked one up in .45 Auto, which came in 4" barrel length only at the time. I later sold it and picked up a 5" Tactical, I wanted the extra 1" and it balances well in my hand.

I had just remarried and wanted the wife to enjoy my sport, she was more than happy to join in. The hard thing was, finding an automatic she could manipulate the slide on. After takin her to several friends places and a few shops, she decided she liked the XD (small hands).

Yep, I like it. Light and easy to carry, and in a small enough package concealment isn't much of an issue at all.
