Excerpt from this Guide:
A brief history of the XD Series Pistols
The evolution of the XD Pistol began in Croatia in 1998 at IM Metal. The HS (Hrvatski Samokres - Croatian Pistol) 2000 was Croatia's first polymer frame pistol. IM had been manufacturing pistols for the Croatian military dating back to 1991 during it's civil war with Yugoslavia.
