To each there own. Don't wish to debate safeties here, but the grip safety on a striker fired weapon is not needed.

Enjoy blowing your junk/leg/butt/foot off when you IBW holster that bad boy, something catches the trigger, and bang. (Remember that I lower my triggers to 4.5lbs.)
Yes I know it's very unlikely. But I work in an ER. I've seen it happen. Seeing it happen even once (and I've seen it more than once) makes you not want to take the risk.
But like you said, to each his own.
How many times have you seen it happen where the scenario included a QUALITY holster and safe gun-handling in general?

I've never shot a .45 XD but if I went to war, I would take my .45 M&P without a 2nd thought. I have no trouble with the recoil.
My backup gun for war (and my every day CC) - my .45 XDs
M&P and XD can live together in perfect harmony...even if they have to live with my wife's Glock 19.
Yeah, I've seen people overdose on Tylenol...doesn't mean I'm going to quit taking it.
I litterally laughed out loud when I read this. Good come back.
I must say that was a very good write up. Too many times I read comparisons that are already stacked in favor of one or the other. Yours seemed to be neutral and you gave each firearm plus and minus, while stating that you understood some is a matter of opinion of the shooter.
I own neither XD or M&P (carry a Glock 22 because that is what they issued me over 13 yrs ago). I have considered these guns off and on, your info here helps. Thank you.
