Think self-defense, bad guy is on top of you and you're only option is to push the gun into him. You'll have to hold the slide in battery. And with an XD, you won't be able to pull the trigger.

The way the guide rod on the XD is set up, it will function as a standoff device and will not allow the slide to be pushed out of battery in that situation.
I'll use a knife in that situation and keep training with my gun for more practical and likely scenarios.
I suppose I could come up with a scenario where the BG grabs my gun at an odd angle and attempts to fire on me, but can't because he's not depressing the safety, thus saving my life.
I'm looking at a full size 40. I've handled the MP and XD. Both feel good. The XD feels a bit better but the only thing im not sure I like is having to engage the grip safety to work the slide. Anybody have any suggestions?
It says your location is Northern Indiana if it's not too far come on down to Kodiak we have Xd's, XDM's, M&P's and Glocks and you can try them all for one price and decide for yourself.
I can loan you an XD, not volunteering for the soft squishy human part!Even on a soft squishy human? I gotta test this. . . . . anyone wanna loan me an XD?

I would recommend this ^^^^.
I am having 'issues' with accuracy on my 2 M&P's (9 & 45) at 25yds. (They shoot great up to 15 yards)
Today I borrowed a friends XDM to compare. NO ISSUES on accuracy with the xdm.
What I do not like, is the mag release button seems really tight/difficult to push. Aside from that, It shoots better than my M&P's.
I do however, really like the feel, operation, serrations, etc on the M&P's... but the reality for me is, if they're not accurate, then I'm going to have to find another pistol.
