so it was designed that way? I think I like the idea of replacing the guide rod. It has been sometime since I pressed my pistol against an object and needed my guide rod to give me distance.

This is why I will never buy the 4in or smaller XDs.

You say this untill you are in a self-defence situation where there is no distance between you and the BG.

It doesnt hurt the function of the gun in any way, yet it does provide a benefit. Why not embrace it?

It dosen't even have to be a bad guy. It could be something like a large dog ontop of you or something like that.

...the one thing that for some reason I can't get over is the guide rod sticks out about 1/8 of an inch or more out of the pistol....
The only thing stopping me from getting another XD is the fact that I'm not a quintillionare.

This guide rod was a feature I learned about after I owned the XD and all I thought was "Gee, this thing just keeps getting better."
