I own several XDs, but they aren't really DA.
The Springfield XD has been classified as a single action system by the ATF.
Here's some great info on why...

Ultra Safety Assurance (USA-XD): This is a Springfield XD trigger system, which does not fit into the above categories cleanly. Internally, it is classified as a single action. Yet externally, the XD operates very differently than typical pistols in the Single Action category that use short-stroke single action triggers and require a manual safety of some kind (see definition 1). That’s because the XD, just like the Glock, has the look and feel of an excellent, “safe double action trigger system with appropriate built in safeties” for the end user. This system does NOT require a manual safety or decocker.
