Springfield XD/XDM

[some1cool4u2]

Just got my Springfield XD 40 and wasn't able to get the XDM since it's not legal in CA. I goggled the differences between the two and was wondering is the any way to convert pieces in the XD so it's like the XDM? I've tried goggle'n but only have found the barrel conversions. Any suggestions?

What are your groupings at 50 yards?

While the M in XDM may mean marketing as opposed to match, the biggest and most useful difference between the XD and the XDM is the adjustable palm swell, and nothing is going to be in the market to make that possible. The higher capacity magazine in an XDM is a moot point for California. I like the XD and I know that I shoot less accurately than it is capable of being shot.

Just shoot what you have and be happy. Or get a Dan Wesson / Les Baer or some other semi-custom to custom 1911 and report back on those 50 yard groups.

That's been discussed over at XDTalk.com

Short answer, No
I've got both versions and like the XDM much more

My hands are kinda small so I really like the ability to use the smaller back strap on the xdm.

These are great feeds. What I was mostly looking at was the heavy duty guide rod spring and the minimal reset trigger. As for the grip and mag, well I know that's not gonna happen.

Check out Powder River Precision. It's what most of the guys over that the XD forums recommend and it's what I have and recommend. I've got the Ultimate Match kit in mine. Excellent trigger with a light pull, crisp break, and zero over travel with short reset. http://shop.powderriverprecision.net...3?categoryId=2

They have different guide rod springs as well. Know that if you change to a heavier guide rod spring, you might end up with problems with WWB and other lighter loads. You may find that hotter rounds may be more reliable with heavier springs.

I've put about 1500 rounds through my xd .45 service model, so I'd say I know how it shoots and how the trigger is.
I went out to Wyoming to hang out and shoot with a buddy. We put about three hundred rounds through his xdm .45 and about 150 through mine. To me, the trigger was almost imperceptibly better. Slightly shorter reset. Nbd to me.
The ergos were a little better though, although that would be highly subjective.

I have an xd40 too, but all PRP out. I have shot over 3000 rounds and will say this..... I sold my p226 mk25 to fuel more Ammo for the XD- yeah I like the gun that much more.

Match trigger is awesome! I got the houge slip on grip and it makes the worlds difference
