    Welcome from Northern Illinois. I am always interested in servicemen's thoughts about the XD vs the Baretta platform. I know I prefer the XD trigger and fit. My son's are the same.

    It takes a new outlook to operate a striker fired vs da/sa with safety
    Xd fits my hand better and point of aim
    Both shoot tight groups, even at 25 yards
    For combat I would choose the XD over m9
    I trust the XD mags more also
