I'd lose the eurohook and make the rear slide rails out of steel.

I think the most import modification they could make would be to make them less expensive!!!

These are so unobtrusive I don't see how they could bother anyone. The grip safety is completely unnoticeable to me. It's a fraction of the size of a 1911 grip safety and those are not an issue to me either. Mine has a big "speed bump" and I still don't feel it.

for me it isn't an issue of these items being obtrusive...just unnecessary. an external safety is unnecessary if the trigger pull is double action only to some people. i don't like DAO, so i'd have this be a SAO (1911-esque) trigger. i appologize for not elaborating further in my initial post.

Aside from the finish thing, I agree with perhaps moving the slide step lever a bit more forward. I'd also like to see the grip (checkering and molded-in "stippling") be more aggressive. I'd also like to see the rear slide serrations come a little more forward as well (lengthening the number of serrations for more to grab on to).

I like it as-is, though. The things I mentioned are just, "That would be interesting to see" things for me. I think the XD's a lot of bang for the buck.

I wish the XD would come in a DAO version.

I wish the XD would come in a de-cocker version.

I wonder how and XD would feel if it were all metal?

I love my traditional double action pistols, but turning the XD into one I think takes something away from the design, don't you?

The trigger itself "feels" like a DAO, even though it isn't.

Just thoughts...

1. Make the trigger reset shorter.
2. Get rid of that stoopid Glock-like trigger paddle thing that puts blisters on everyone's finger.
3. Get rid of the slide lock / grip safety link.
4. Put uncaptive recoil assembly in the 4" guns.
5. Change the extractor to an external spring actuated design.

I like the width of the grip but I would like more distance between the front and back straps.
