You'll like it LW. I bought several direct from Springfield for IDPA State Match prizes. We bought one of them for my wife and she shot the XD9 competitively in IDPA. It's a great gun! I later bought the XD40 for the hell of it. It's cool too. I firmly believe they have a better trigger out of the box than the Glock. I shot a G17 for IDPA but I tricked the trigger and sights.
FYI, the XD used to be an HS2000 made in Croatia. I believe they are still made there but Springfield gobbled them up when they saw the potential market share. They also added the lifetime warranty to the product, other than that there are few changes if any.
