I'm seeing some great XD's! Gives me lots of ideas. I had the misfortune to go into a shop by my house looking for a new addition to the collection. The guy behind the counter had a XD40 but the slide had a mirror finish and looked like something straight from a rap video. He was so proud he could actually see himself in his pistol. I guess he said it took 42 hours. I'm all for people expressing themselves with their firearm but this was tragic to behold.

How does one get a mirror finish on a slide like this? Just morbid curiosity.

Hello,

There's a whole thread on polishing the slide and the barrel on an XD over at xdtalk.com. Personally, I think it looks like s%^*e!, but to each his own:

http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/general...ome-job-4.html

My XD is bone stock, but of course I just got a day or two ago ;-) Only mods I've considered are a set of night sites, and possibly a working over by the SA custom shop (Carry Package)...

http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=165849

BTW, xdtalk.com is an excellent source of information for XDs. I haven't joined the forum, but I lurk there for information. They seem like a good bunch there

Awesome info man. Greatly appreciate it. Yeah the first time I looked at his mirror polish I recoiled in horror. I just cant understand why anyone in their right mind would "thug out" their XD. For that matter spend 42 hours of their life doing it. I guess I'm just a practical thinker.....besides wanting a D.Eagle that is.
Thanks for the heads up man.
