XDm Conversion barrel

[03GeeTee]

I really like my XDM. However, I do not like the higher price of ammo and snappiness of the .40 ... I have even considered trading/ selling the .40 and getting the 9. Do they make a .40 to 9mm barrel conversion for the XDm like they do for glocks?

The PistolGear conversion barrel for 5" XD models will drop right in. The barrel will extend past the slide 1/2" unless it bothers you, then you can have it cut down and recrowned. Or better yet, have it threaded and slap a silencer on it.

If you are doing it for cost savings, you'd have to shoot a good bit to make up the cost of the barrel and mags. If you are doing it because you don't like the .40, I'd trade/sell for a 9mm.

Storm Lake also makes a 40 -> 9 conversion barrel for the XDm thats 4.60"

Part # is:

Well there ya go. I've obviously been away from XDs for a while.

Yea, I guess those are a bit expensive by the time you factor in barrel, spring and 9mm mags. I might just try and get the XDm9 ... I also shot my friend's XDm .45 and it still recoils a hell of alot less than my .40 does. I can't afford to shoot much .45 though

You don't need a new spring. Just drop the barrel in and get a mag for the range. Here's another.

+1 for EFK and Storm Lake, I had a ported 9mm conversion made by EFK for my xd40V10 and now I am actually running a match grade barrel from Storm Lake in the same weapon.

Any time you buy a conversion barrel its is best to stay with FACTORY magazines, they will function better, I tried the Pro Mag route and it would fail often, the recoil spring is the same eventhough you can always add up a full size guide rod and have an even sweeter set up.
