adding more grooves to slide ? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Guys, does anyone know of someone who can add more grooves to the side of the slide on a XD comparable to the XDM ?

Ive got arthritous in my hands and sometimes racking/gripping the slide is a chore and a little more to grip on would be nice.

That's the only single thing I'd change on my XD...more grip to help me rack the slide. Maybe some rubber coatng or covering.

I know a few people on here have added grip tape to the rear sides... maybe something like that would help?

Robar can do it along with refinishing the slide.
