I have a xd compact .45 with night sights and the 4 inch barrel for my EDC. I have been considering picking up a new XDs but i have a wedding to pay for and an AR -10 to finish building so i may have to wait for awhile on another handgun.
Love my 3 XDMs. All three are 9mm. I have a stainless/black 3.8 compact, an all black compact and a full size 4.5 OD green frame with stainless slide. The full size has the NRA pistol of the year logo on the slide top. The wife and I just put another 150 rounds through the big one at RedBrush the other day. It's a really sweet shooter. 9mm has practically no felt recoil in this gun.
I have the XDs and took it to the range yesterday. I put 60 rounds through it for breaking it in. Shot to point of aim and the recoil was much less than I expected from this little gem.
I think I am going to like this pistol a lot. First time out I had no issues and it felt and shot great.

I personally love the XD pistols. They are fantastic shooters. I can out shoot a Glock in speed because they have such a sweet trigger. I really like how comfortable they are in the hand and the shoot ability of the guns. As for upgrades I really don't do much to my guns. I like all my internals to be factory or be replaced by factory parts if possible. Night sights are a good option if you do not have a WML (weapon mounted light). If you have a WML, it is pretty pointless to have night sights because you will see the silhouette of your sights more than the glowing of the night sight. In CC, a weaponlight is not a very good option unless you want to open carry in a Safariland ALS or Raven concealment. In my personal opinion, I would not carry an XD as my standard CC gun. I think it's just a bit to bulky and big to carry comfortable. It can be done and is done but I would rather carry something like a Glock 26 due to the size argument.
As for holsters, get a hybrid IWB holster. I recommend the Galco Kingtuk over the crossbreed. The ones I have used and owned (like a lot) have been more sturdy than the flimsy crossbreed. It just depends on what you like though.
As for the trigger, I'd keep it 100% stock. I would say it is a perfect trigger for combat situations. It's fast, short, and doesn't take a lot to set off which helps with fast shooting and accuracy.
