So I have had my XDM 4.5 9mm for quite a while. I've been looking to do upgrades, but it already comes with a match barrel and oversized slide stop. Any ideas on mag wells (sp?) I.e. if you have had good experience with a certain brand. Also ideas on a trigger upgrade. Appreciate the info in advance..oh also vision in this build is like a 3 gun pistol..I don't have any experience in 3 gun, but I believe it is the open class (no red dots etc.)

There are plenty of upgrade, or at least replacement stuff for your XDm from Powder River Precision, Springer Precision and Pistol Gear. I changed out quite a bit and did some stippling in a few areas to enhance the grip. The magwell was more of an afterthought and well, it works but it more personal preference. As stated above, the trigger is the biggest improvement and is a night and day difference. A significant improvement IMHO. If you have good mechanical abilities, it can be installed by you but you do have to have a good idea of what your doing. You already have the slide stop which would be my second. The rest is more personal preference. I will say the laser cut grip tape from Springer Precision is outstanding for grip.

+1 on the PRP trigger. Drop in is easy to install. Plenty of YouTube "how to" videos online.Sorry, not sorry.

Pistolgear has videos on how the magwells are installed. I believe it is just the backstrap roll pin but it "clicks" in to place before you secure it with the roll pin.
You may also want to check out xdtalk as another reference site.Thanks, and as we say in Spanish,

It catches a lip in the front of the grip and has an Allen screw that replaces the back strap pin.sigpic
