Opinion on these Handguns

I carry the M&P .40cal subcompact. Feels great. Shoots great. Great gun.

Depends on your shooting stance. Test fire each (or at least hold and aim) before coming to a conclusion. It won't be much benefit to you to hear it from a bunch of people with different opinions. You've already settled on 3 great platforms.

Glock will obviously be the benchmark to beat, but neither the XD or the M&P are slouches.

As someone noted, the grip safety on the XD is a huge annoyance. One that would prevent me from owning it. Trigger safeties aren't that big of a deal imho.

try to get some range time with each, sometimes putting holes in paper tells way more about how a gun fits how you shoot than anything else
