My biggest issue is that it prevents the gun from firing except when a proper grip is taken. Since I can't be assured I'll have a proper grip all the time, I'd prefer not to have it. I'm fully aware of the fact that 99.7% of the time, I'll be able to have a proper grip on a gun I'm using in SD, but if I can get a gun that, when handled properly, is just as safe as an XD, I'll carry that instead.
