Beavertail on xd?

[chrisf]

I seen a picture here, and a couple on some other sites. I jailed an xd today, and would like to add a beavertail on it. I'm a m&p guy, but the xd is all I could find Any leads?

What is a dovetail grip?

Sorry for my ignorance. I thought that was what it was called. You know how the 1911 has that extension where your hand would be? The m&p has one as well. I could have swore it was a dovetail.

This is a dovetail:

You're my hero!! I was driving myself crazy trying to figure it out.

My question to you is WHY? The "bore axis" on the XD is already high enough. It will be a lot higher if you add the beavertail to it.

Shot one at the range, it felt better than stock for me. I wasn't interested in xd's at the time (I'm still not but they were out of everything else) so I didn't bother asking.

I'd really suggest taking a hard look at an M&P or a Glock. Much better designs.

Most the XD beavertails are complete grip jobs. Robar is the well known one for it in the XD world.

Saw, not seen.

adding to a XD is not really sensible.

"An XD" not a XD

Op get an M&p if you want a beaver tail.

I'm pretty sure x isn't a vowel.

[Sakiri]

I'm pretty sure x isn't a vowel.

No but its pronounced 'ecks' which is preceded with 'an' as its a vowel sound.

At least thats the reason behind "an x-ray" vs "a x-ray".
