OTOH, if you're looking for a cc gun, you may not like the double stack XD's; the XDs is the only single stack mag in the series, but it's more of a cc gun, not home defense/range gun (and is chambered only in 45 ACP)

Agreed. If you have the opportunity to feel how comfortable single-stack guns are for carry, you may change your mind about what you want. I feel there is a purpose for every size, and while a full size can be carried concealed, it's much easier to conceal something small. But in the home, you may as well stack the cards in your favor with a full-sized, full-capacity handgun (or shotgun).
