My hands might just be huge, but the thumb on my left hand rubs on the takedown lever.  I usually put the thumb along the slide, but its kinda blocked.  And if I fire a round like that it causes discomfort on the thumb.  

As a result I have to change my grip up a bit when I shoot the XD.  Any way to fix this?

Isn't it obvious?  Lop off the thumb.  

I guess you either need to adjust the position of your thumb or find a firearm that better fits your big mitts.  I don't think there's anything you can do to the XD per se.

Yeah, its not really a huge issue.  I was just wondering if it was the same for anyone else or if my hands are just huge.  I've already adjusted to a new comfortable grip.

I have small hands and I noticed the same thing. Not really a big deal, though. I just move the thumb a little. The 45 acp is a huge improvement over the Glock 21 and I will make my adjustments without too much complaining.

I dunno, I just got my XD-45acp today and put 50 rounds through it. The take down lever didn't seem to bother me any, and my hands are extremely large.
