It's a feature! And us old 1911 die-hards are happy it's there. I own a Glock, but have never been happy with safety if a round is in the pipe. Some Glock fans will hate me for that, but even clothing caught inside the trigger guard offers the potential for an AD.All the XD's I've seen and the one I have has a grip safety. Is it an option?
I like the grip safety. 'Course, I'm used to it with 1911s. But I think it subtracts nothing from functionality and adds just a bit more safety.
