1300 flawless rounds, XD-S .45 (OK, one out-of-battery round was my fault), and I still like it. Mine arrived (after recall) with glass smooth pull to bang, but the pull is slightly heavier. I carry it where ever legal. Shoot one extensively if you may. You have to rack it like a man, grip it tightly, and it won't betray you. It's not for everybody, and I had to do strengthening exercises with hand springs and a curl bar to get up to the task.
I'm an old curmudgeon, nearly 60, so had to show this bulldog who was boss.
