For those who own this gun, or have shot this gun- what are your thoughts? I would primarily use this gun for when I travel and some concealed carry (when I am called out for work, or if I think there might be issues at work). Prior to the XDs, I was considering a S&W Bodyguard .380, or a Ruger LCP .380. The reason I have considered the XDs is the safety features, and the .45.
Thoughts?

I have fired all three and own the LCP.
I don't like the Bodyguard at all.
The LCP is a shoot and hope you will hit something gun.
The XDs is in a league of its own compared to these other two. Quality, feel, safety, sights, and knockdown power all give it a significant edge in my opinion.
Consider also that they now make it in a 9mm. While the .45 is manageable, I imagine the 9 is more. I mention this since the other two you are considering are .380.
