I like my xd 9 subcompact. I know they get a lot of hate but it's been a good little pistol. I prefer it with the extended 16rd mags vs the 13rd stock mags.

Like Glock, they are caliber specific, but dimensionally equilavent externally.

My XDM 10mm 5.25" has been an absolute beast and every bit as good, with better ergonomics than any of the G20's I've owned.

Shouldn't you get the XD40 and use a 9mm slide? Actually, people used to talk about just swapping the barrel in that case. I've had them both but not at the same time.

Normally I would buy the 40 version first and then get a conversion or even a factory barrel, to use 9mm. In this case, I found an XD9 I think I can get for cheap, in a package deal and ebay has some XD 40 slide kits that are reasonably priced. They also have some 9mm slide kits so I may just keep an eye out for a good deal on an XD 40.

Occasionally some makers use different frames for their 9mm and 40 pistols. S&W Sigmas come to mind. I was trying to determine if the Springfield line of XD pistols used the same frame for both. It looks like they do.

Now I found an XD9, an XD40 and an XD45 for cheap. If I buy all three I won't have to worry about swapping slides.

Edit: The good deals on xd pistols I thought I found were a scam.
Repeat this site is a scam site. ...springfieldfirearmstore...


I am back to looking at the local used XD40. I found a 9mm conversion barrel that is priced around $125 that is made to work in the xd40 slide.

I know it's a little late to the party, but xd9 and xd40 slides are not shaped the same. The xd9 has a more angled slide than the xd40, same with the xd45 which is more box shaped.

I believe that is the case for the Mod2 but my original XD9SC is as square as a glonk.

I've got a xd9, xd10 and xd45, none are mod2s and they all have different shaped slides, I do wish they were the same as finding a better holster would be a lot easier. I don't know about the compacts as all of mine are standard or full-size.

Roger that, my OG sub compact is chunky and I would think it would clear a 40 siz. My friend has a XD40 4", I'll have to try his slide on my frame when I get back from Nevada.

Different combo but some xdm slides can be swapped.

And this feller claims the xdm9 and xdm40 slides are interchangeable.

XDM9 & XDM 40 Swapping Slides

I've seen the question asked "Can I swap slide assemblies between the 9mm XDM and 40 Cal XDM?" I've asked it myself. I've heard people say yes but I've never seen a picture of someone who has successfully done it. Well here it is. I own a 9mm XDM and I bought a slide assembly and lower parts for...

I ended up buying an XDm-9 4.5" version. I plan on picking up an XDm 40 slide one of these days. For now I want to focus on magazine acquisitions first. This pistol will be another range toy. I think I can make the 9mm XDm mags work with 40 rounds, for range use. The 9mm mags hold 40 rounds well, they pop out of the mag well. I might pick up a single 40 mag to compare and have just in case the 9mm mag doesn't pan out in actual use.

If somebody has an XD 9 or XD 40 magazine and a set of calipers handy could you give me the dimensions of your magazine in these two spots.

This is an XDm magazine which I understand are slightly wider than the XD magazines. I am trying to determine how much wider it is and whether the mag catch hole is in roughly the same location.

I think the 5 hundredths of an inch in width could be overcome. Not sure the mag catch hole would line up well enough. I think I will focus my effort on finding more XDm mags. I appreciate you taking the time to provide those measurements.
