XDM 40 Transfer Question

[Maxwell663]

A LEO friend of mine has an XDM 40 that he is looking to sell. I have shoot it a few time at the range with him and really like it. Myself I have a XD40 and love it. So my question is can my friend being a LEO sell me his XDM40 through a private party transfer? Keep in mind we both live here in CA and I'm not any type of LEO.

Thanks....

Yes, and it's completely legal to do so. Any pistol that's not on the roster can't be sold through store fronts, but can be obtain through PPT, even LEO to civilian.

I believe the XDM is on the roster, the XD is not. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, he can sell you the XDm via PPT. He can't sell you the assembled large-capacity magazines (he can sell you a dissassembled magazine parts kit). YOu do need an assembled magazine in order to the required handgun safety demo, so that will need to be dealt with.

XDm is on the roster for LEO's only. Don't have a link to the current rosters, but if you do a search you can see XDm's for sale go for $800-900 on CGN even if MRSP is like $500-600 because everyone want's this gun and it's not easily obtained. Supply and Demand.

you got it backwards. The older XD has many versions on the roster, but there aren't any XDm's on the roster.

XDm is on the roster for LEO's only. .

there is no LEO roster. The LEO "roster" is basically all handguns that are not illegal to possess, so no AWs or NFA stuff.

I just helped sell an XDm 9mm through private party transfer. Perfectly legal to PPT.

Aren't all the magazines for the XDm more than 10 rounds? Getting a gun that is not on the roster via a PPT is one thing, obtaining one that has greater than 10 round magazine might be the detail that prevents this transfer. A LEO can have > 10 round magazine, but us civilian types can't unless you had it grandfathered in.

And you can't get a 10 round magazine for an XD and put it in an XDm, the are different.

There is really no point in getting an XDm in Ca. LEO yes, regular guy no.
Great gun but the mag issue is a problem. Do you really want a handgun that you have had to modify the mag to shoot. Not worth it to me. Just get a regular XD.

+1 and the FFL dealer will not allow the high caps in the sale.

But what if his buddy threw those magazines away because they were no good to him after selling the gun, and while searching for recycleables, Maxwell discovered such a lucky find?

+1. Remember, there is nothing illegal about owning hi cap mags. It is only illegal to buy, sell, import, or make them. If you had them before the ban, or, by luck of the draw, you happen to find them abandoned at a range somewhere when some absent minded "Joe" forgot to put them in his range bag when he left, well, FINDERS KEEPERS, LOSERS WEEPERS! And that is perfectly legal. Also, if you must, converting them to hold 10 rounds is not hard at all! a small pvc pipe cemented onto the bottom of the follower will do the trick. Buy the gun from your LEO friend and enjoy it!

Remember, the Gun does NOT have to have a mag present when doing the PPT. It can be transfered without a mag. They can be given to him by his buddy, taken apart, as complete XDm rebuild kits in the parking lot, then the non LEO buyer can take them home and convert them to 10 round mags with a small pvc pipe as described above. Its really not hard.

not true. At some point during the PPT, the buyer must do a handgun safety demo with the handgun, or another handgun of the same make/model. And as part of the demo, there must be a working magazine to do the demo.
