Cutting a service model grip down to a sub-compact grip
Hello all.
I don’t own an XD yet but seriously looking at them. This will primarily be a concealed carry weapon. But I enjoy plinking also. I like the idea of buying a .40 S&W and then a 9x19mm barrel but from what I can tell this option is only available for the 4.05" barrel on the service model and not the 3.01" barrel on the Sub-Compact, right? I perceive the long grip to be more of a problem with concealed carry than the barrel length anyway, right? So I’m thinking of purchasing a service model .40 S&W with a 4.05" barrel (probably stainless Bi-Tone) and a 9x19mm barrel and manually cutting the grip down so it looks like the sub compact grip. Anyone done this? Do you all think I’m nuts – lol? Any reasons I shouldn’t do this? Any input? Thanks!

Cool and thanks for the info. This mod would probably violate any warranty though wouldn’t it?
Thanks again |

Hello
Well you-all talked me into it. I purchased an XD, Bi-Tone, .40, Tactical, 4", yesterday. My wife says she’s going to ban me from the Internet, lol. Some friends and I are going to the range tomorrow. Good Day |

As soon as I can get my hands on a SC 40 magazine, this'll be my next mod.

Wow... i'm too chicken to ever be able to do something like that to my gun... at least not on my own. But the idea sounds pretty good. Personally though... i think i would just get an sc since they are great guns as well... and for the size are pretty accurate from what i ahve heard. just my 2 cents. But if you can muster the courage to cut downur xd... more power to ya brother.

i think you have lost your mind!!!!! but thats just my opinion....i dont think the 4 in is that hard to conceal...not enough to justify cutting it up...as far as the sub to me it really doesnt shoot that much different than my 4 in...i go plinking all the time with it....but do as you will ( your going to anyway!! ) lol....good luck and safe shootin
