Reloading 9mm for Service vs Tac - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have been shooting an XD9 4" for over a year but recently picked up a used XD9 Tactical.

My 9mm ammo was loaded and chronoed for my 4".

What if any modifications do you think need to be made?

I don't have time to do a lot of load testing before an IDPA match on Sunday.

The ammo will be faster out of the 5in gun but I would test it first.

Yeah I was figuring the 5" barrel would increase velocity alittle.

For now I just want to make sure the slide cycles correctly.

I might have time to chrono alittle on Sat so I guess I will see then.

It is actually easier to get the 5in to cycle than the 4in if you are using the stock recoil system.
