Springfield xd slides interchangeable?

[kjv146]

I have a black xd, black slide and grip. Pretty much bought the gun on impulse and now that i've seen the stainless slides, I've wanted one, for a while now. So is it possible to simply find a stainless slide for a 9mm xd and swap the barrel/guide rod/recoil spring from my slide, and put them into the stainless? If so, anyone know somewhere that sells just the slides? Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks

you are probably better off buying a whole new gun, just sell yours off.

For the most part, they are interchangeable. The 9/357/40 all have the same lower (respective to the sub/service/tac). The problem is where to get a new slide. This has come up before and Springfield doesn't sell the slides separtely, nor are there any aftermarket.

I have seen swaps done where someone will one-for-one exhange slides with each other. Try XDtalk.com

You could always polish your slide or send it to Customized Creationz

CC does AWESOME work. He has a good following on XDtalk.

As far as interchanging slides... You can swap 9/357/40 slides. Shouldnt be any issues. But you would be better off with just a different barrel from Pistolgear. AND for a heck of a lot cheaper. Then get your slide polished and your 10 ocho my friend. AND for probably a heck of a lot less than a New slide
