I have now learned what I had been told previously, feel them up, it's a personal thing. They all feel different to you than to me.
The XD is a great gun but thick and may not be what some like with the way the safety is set up. I thought I wanted one until I held it.
Glocks are fantastic, as I own a 21 and can attest but almost bought a 26 for concealed but also felt bulky.
Ended up with a Ruger LCP for true tiny concealed and a S&W Shield which is slim and incredibly low recoil and is truly my favorite. However, finding one is the challenge due to demand for it.
Gun shows or a large dealer are the best place to go.
Lastly, shoot it. Amazing how many you eliminate once you fire them.

BTW, that XDs is an amazing little, slim powerhouse but you sacrifice by having low capacity in mag due to caliber. Probably my next gun as is only XD that is slim.
