.45 GAP to .40 S&W Conversion? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Does anyone know of such an animal? I have seen plenty of .40 to 9mm or .40 to .357sig, but nothing really for the XD-45LE.

The dept's armory just picked up an XD-45LE through a drug seizure and since .45gap is not an authorized round, the Sarge asked me to see if I can convert it to .40 S&W.

Perhaps my Google-Fu is weak, but I have not been able to find a conversion barrel.

Bump.

No one? I'm thinking there isn't one available.

I have never heard of any 45GAP conversions. That cartridge is so rare they would not make back the engineering costs on the barrel.

Kind of what I figured, oh well, maybe the sarge will let me have it for "research."

Your 'research' ammo may be somewhat
elusive to find and a little costly, but when
you are armed with your 'research' tool,
you will never be outgunned! Guaranteed!!!
