USA1 summed up my thoughts exactly. When I bought my XD it was specifically with conceal carry in mind. I liked the feel of it (the biggest part of buying a gun) in the store with both magazines.
I thought I might have a hard time adjusting to the short magazine but not at all. It feels just as good to me as the extended.
My only criticism of the XD sub for carry is that it is a tad blocky, but no more so than a comparable sized Glock. I tried a similar sized Walther than was much thinner. But for me it just didn't feel "right" in my hand.

Re: New to CHL
Welcome aboard!
Your last point is not strange to us at all. Most of us have wondered the same thing.
You've gotten a lot of excellent advice (no surprise from this crowd). I can only tell you that I bought an XD 9mm subcompact specifically for carry. It has quickly become my favorite gun to shoot.
You're asking the right questions. Good luck with your decision! I look forward to seeing what you decide.
