I get many calls about building custom guns. The XD is the one gun that I calls on all the time to fix. As an instructor I see a far higher failure rate with them than any of the other new poly guns. The extracters lose tension at a high rate at very low round counts. The multi piece guide rods come apart way to often and completely lock up the gun. Also the magazines have had problems of being to soft and dent with hard use and create many feeding problems.
Don't get me wrong if you get a good one they shoot well but the over all quality control seems low.
The last thing that really creates a problem for many is the fact that the grip safety locks the slide. I have seen this many times under just training stress cause people trying to clear a malfuntion not keep it depressed and not be able to move the slide.
So after all that, M&P.

You also may want to look up who Massad Ayoob is, before you go disagreeing with an actual attorney on here, who's spoken with him on this subject, in depth.
