Just picked up an XD .45 today. I've been carrying mostly 9mm for quite awhile but wanted a .45 for backpacking. Was considering an M&P 45c but the XD was available and I really liked the feel of it. Haven't shot it yet but will be hitting the range on Monday. I've go some .45's but only in 1911 and wanted something a little lighter to carry. For the range I'm a big fan of all steel 1911's, one of mine is a Springfield RO, but I love them all.
Based on what I've read the only thing I may be changing is the front sight as I understand that the XD stock sight is set at 6 o'clock hold and I don't care for that so I'll see how it shoots and go from there.
