cavity behind magazine well? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

My wife says I'm not observant, I say I am when I need to be... She may be right. I just noticed, after two weeks that there's an open cavity behind the mag well, at the base of my XD-40, is that supposed to be there?

The cavity is shaped like a smile, following the contour of backstrap of the grip and flat at the frame of the mag well. There is a little square post, with an even smaller square protrusion in the inside curve of the smile, and on the square side there is a semi-circular indentation. Under a loupe it appears to be molded, not a ding or a flaw.

Is there supposed to be an insert covering this area that maybe fell out whilst I was wringing the weapon out with 200 rnds of FMJ? If so, has there been other posts about this? What was the resolution? I do not remember seeing this until today when I was practicing draws with the Fobus paddle, which could not have caused any damage.

I think Pistol Gear sells an extended mag well that includes a plug for that area, that you could use by itself.

Just confirmed, they do:

The area is referred to as an option included by the manufacturer, but only on models labed SE-Arch - This option is included so that you can roll up a $20 for when you run out of ammo at the range.

The area allows you to add an folding shoulder stock, for those time when you need to be extra tactical.
