Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I wouldn't get too wrapped up about not being able to release the mag without adjusting your grip. In my experience a small percentage of people can do that with their gun.
As to the recent dislike of the XD...lots of guns out there.

Try the M&P or the HK P30. The HK is dead accurate, mine has been perfectly reliable (as are all of them) and is a great but pricey gun.

G19. Mick had the right idea. 17 rounds of 9mm in a compact is hard to beat.

These are 45's, but use your imagination and pretend their in 9mm.
Pick one, big, small, new design, old design. They all work and shoot extremely well.

It has been a while since I shot a glock. I think that or an M&P might be the next choice.

Best way to get in to see me at the shop is to call or email Shannon and make an appointment.
You think your XD trigger is nice and smooth, you should try out the G19's trigger.
This will change your gun. I have the PRP drop in kit. Reset is reduced by 1/2 and the trigger pull is around 3lbs.A few places sell an extended mag release like this one that might help the one problem. I carry an XDsc in .40 with a spare mag but I hate the trigger and ordered a Powder River kit. Maybe a few tweaks would get rid of the "meh".
edit: 165gr RNFP over 4.4gr of Titegroup is a nice soft accurate load at short range w/ quick recovery but I haven't chronographed that one and it's probably a bit slow for PF.
My old german P99 (no S&W marks) smokes the Glocks in accuracy and trigger smoothness.
