Specifically the XD-M pistols and if so, what you got? Really digging the XD-M Elite that's out there.

Me. I had an XDM .45 3.8” for awhile. As far as .45s go, I loved it. I eventually sold it just because I don’t like shooting .45’s . Wouldn’t hesitate to buy another though.

Don't have what you mentioned specifically, but I am a SA fan. I have the LB Operator 1911, one of my favorite pistols.

Had an XD-40 years ago, now a Mil-spec 1911 and standard M1A.

I had the basic first edition XD-40 and a XD-SC in 40, just so I could use the same ammo and mags in both. I still have the 40 and a .357sig barrel for it. Now my smaller on is the XD9c single stack. All have been very rugged and reliable.

XD-M Elite 4.5 in 9mm is what I keep in my truck. I love it. 20-round capacity is nice.

Got an xd40 and an xdm9mm. Brother in law has the xds 45.

I can shoot more accurately with my xd40 than any of my other 9mms. It's never jammed. Absolutely love that gun.

XDS in 9mm here. Love it and very reliable. Hasn't jammed on cheap ammo, either.

Have a XD Mod 2 subcompact in .45. The .45 is a bit much for the short barrel. Sweet shooting. Had 1 failure to eject but I blamed that on the Winchester ammo.

Have a XDS 9, XD-40, and a Range Officer. Total Springfield fanboy, they haven't let me down yet.

I have a SA champion 45 (it’s a commander size 1911). It’s a beautiful little gun but the trigger was the worst I’d ever seen in a 1911 if not any gun.

I replaced all the internals in the frame and it is now amazing.

Yep. The XD was originally called the HS2000, and SA either bought it or licensed it in the states as the XD. I think since then they've gone more in-house for the new designs, but the original was a rebranded pistol.
