I guess what I'm confused about is how can the weapon be so small yet weigh more than its similarly sized sub compacts?

I am hoping that is the loaded weight. I just weighed my XD .40 S&W Subcompact and its only 32 oz fully loaded with Federal Hydra-Shocks. 9 in the magazine and 1 chambered. I emailed Springfield and asked them about it hopefully they will reply soon and I'll post what they said here once I get the email back.

Anyone who thinks LEO agencies get guns given to them is nuts. Yes we pay less because we don't have to pay the Federal Excise tax but its not nearly as cheap as many seem to think. The reason the XD is not as popular is lack of support from Springfield (ie no armoers program) and frankly lower quality when compared to guns like the Glock, M&P, HK etc.

During the changeover from revolvers to autos, and again when many agencies went from 9 to .40, there were some pretty sweet deals done, especially with high profile agencies, (straight across trades for old guns, etc.). But you're right, most departments, unless it's LAPD, NYPD, FBI, etc, are paying full boat these days, and I have zero doubt Springfield can be competitive for an agency that wants their guns.
No they haven't but I don't like my Glock, my XD has well over 2k rounds through it and the only thing I replaced was my recoil spring. Also I work for a department that has a list of weapons we can and can't use. XD, Glock, M&P, older Smith, Ruger, Sigs, and Berretta automatics, all in DAO. So I will stick with what I feel comfortable with.
