Same thing here, I much prefer the grip angle of the XD (or 1911) to that of the Glocks I’ve owned. My XD45Compact is virtually the same size of the G19 I had, but I also prefer the 11rnds of .45ACP with the short mag in the XD45C.

I noticed the difference in grip angle right away. If you lay an 1911 on top of an XD you'll find it's almost identical. Now I've been banging away with my Combat Commander for 20 years or so and going with the Glock would have meant completely relearning all that muscle memory stuff.

I didn't have that issue with the XD. I like the Compact version with the two different mag lengths, too. One makes it reasonably small and concealable with 11 rounds of .45, the other extends the grip length and gives you 13.

Slick piece of design work, that.
