Thanks for the suggestion, but the dimensions are wrong. I already have an XDCompact in .45 and absolutely love it. However, I'm looking for something a little smaller and a little slimmer, this is where the G32 steps in. It's dimensions versus the XD are shown below.
(Length: 6.85 inches vs 7.3 inches. Height:5.0 inches vs. 5.5 inches Width:1.26 inches vs. 1.25 inches)
Even if this was an OC gun (which it is not) I would choose the Glock over the XD for one reason, the size of the grip. The grip length on the service model (the smallest model offered for the XD in this caliber) is obscenely long, as it is on all of the service models. For OC and duty carry, this is fine, for concealment, not so much. It is also just too big for my hands. This is why I got the Compact .45 rather than the service, and why I will not buy another XD until they start offering the compact in more calibers. In Alabama, you have to conceal or go to jail, simple as that, so the G32 meets ALL of my needs and presents no obstacles to concealment (sure It's a big gun/not a pocket gun, but I've grown used to concealing mid-large sized autos, so this one will be no different).
