Thinking of purchasing an XD but, I have one question. Is the frame reinforced where the slide makes contact with the frame? I have never really examined one that closely.

Welcome to the board!

The front rails are steel. The rear rails are part of the polymer frame. The front is where the most pounding occurs.

The frame is not reinforced with steel inserts. Welcome, kick up your feet and stay awhile.
