Makes sense. I like the grip angle on, and feel of, the XDs, and they are one of the easiest semis I have to shoot well.

Haven't shot the XD10. But my little G27 has far less felt recoil than the 5" bbl XD40 Tactical with a heavy tungsten guide rod with the same loads. I think it is because of (1) the lower moment arm between the top of the grip and the center bore; and (2) the dual recoil springs that many Glocks have. My HKs also have that. Basically, instead of trying to match the spring to the load, the dual spring systems have a modest spring in action until the case ejects, and then a stronger spring kicks in; so, you never have the slide smacking against the receiver--it's more of a push than a smack. But those with knowledge, please correct me if I'm incorrect.
