    Suggestions For Springfield XD Upgrades

    Hi Everyone ,
    I'm looking to snazz up my xd 9. I want to install a magwell extension, an extended mag release , and I was thinking about that thumb recoil dealy. Looks comfortable as i have a very high tang grip.

    Anyone have particular brands they like? I'm able to install it all myself so no need for suggestions like springer and the like .

    Good Shooting !!

      I know that thingy was my technical term there. That page should give you a good idea. Seems like it may actually work. Just wanted to see if anyone out there had any experience with it

              that thumb thing is nothing but a fix for having a sh!!ty grip on your gun.

              Best upgrades? More ammo. Beyond that, PRP or springer trigger kit and some decal grips.

                    I would say the best upgrade would be ammo, sights, mag release button, trigger kit

                    In that order. I shot my xd until the barrel was shot out... In my experience, getting on target is better then having a large mag well or any of the other stuff. Te mag release button helps when your changing mags so your hand stays in the same grip as much as possible. Once you build the muscle memory of getting on target and hanging mags you can go trigger kit if you want. I have a Prp ultimate and a regular Prp kit. I like the regular more but for the price I would wait for a good deal to get it. It's not a WOW factor, at least for me. Didn't change all that much in my shooting after I got the kit.

                    Other then that I think it's more important to shoot then get upgrades.

                      He's asking for upgrades, not hand grenades Though Glock does kind of lag on their shrapnel.

                        OP if you let us know your intended use of your XD, we can give you some ideas that would fit your intended purpose.

                          Start with a trigger kit. Springer pretty much has everything for XD's.

                            Hahha, how'd I know this was going to be in here. Either this or M&P.

                            Agreed on more ammo. Shoot it and figure out what you need afterwards.

                              I sent my XD9 Tactical in to Springer Precision for a bunch of work:

                              Trigger job, modification to the grip (X grip), cerakote (frame and slide), match barrel, and new sights (don't remember which sights, but they're big and bright). I would say that the most important for me was the grip, and then the trigger pull. Springer did great work, but it wasn't cheap, and I actually had to send it back to them twice for some mistakes that they made (and promptly fixed).
