I have owned three of the XDs .45. Loved them until the recall. I couldn't stand the trigger pull on them after I got them back. Sold them all. Seems the XDM compact is just a little bigger then the XDs but with the 13+1 mag. I'll shoot one on Monday, if I like and buy it, I'll let everyone shoot it.
I heard about the recall. I've never sent mine in. I've kept a close eye on it. As many rounds as I have through it, if it were going to have a problem, I'm pretty confident I would have seen in by now. I won't stop watching but I don't like to fix what ain't broke.
