VERY HI-caps for XD40 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

The Glock 35 has a 17 round mag available.

Is there something like this for the XD40. The round count mag I've seen (pistolgear is 12.

I'm thinking IPSC.

Thanks,

I've seen a 20 rounder, but it was already sold. Good luck finding one.

The 20 rounders for the XD-40 are not legal for Limited if that is what you are thinking. Limited has a 140mm maximum magazine length. Unfortunately the XD-40 is built on the 9mm frame. This forced the makers to use a 9mm width magazine for the 40 and thus capacity is limited to about 15-16 round maximum while remaining under the 140mm maximum length specified by the Limited rules. I'm afraid the XD-40 is never going to be a Limited gun. It makes a pretty good Limited-10 gun.

Now taking a XD-9 an possibly makeing an Open gun has a lot more potential.

Yes, I was considering an XD40 5" for ipsc. I see how it's not gonna work.

Just caught the ipsc bug. Have shot it a bunch but not seriously. And wanted an excuse to get the XD. Will probably go with the Glock 35.

I asked enough questions to find out that 9mm, which I now shoot out of my Glock 19, is a minor round and I get penalized more for non-alpha hits.

So I'll go with 40.

Thanks again,

You can still use IPSC as an excuse to get an XD. The XD-9 or XD-40 make a great production gun and the XD-40 or XD-45 make great Limited-10 guns. Loading 40 down to minor power factors for Production makes for a very soft shooting pistol. I have been shooting Limited-10 with my XD-40 Tactical since last spring and been having a blast with it.

I have added:

Custom Magazine Well
Extended Magazine Release.
Extended Basepad on all my magazines.
Don's Guide Rod with a 16# spring.

It makes for a very competitive Limited-10 gun. I am a high C (57%) classified shooter and should be B before the end of this summer.

If your set on shooting Limited then you might be our of luck but if your willing to shoot Limited-10 or Production the XD can hold its own in either of these divisions.

While the odds of getting called on it in a local match are between slim and none, the XD45ACP does not yet meet the available to the general public for one year provision for Limited and L-10.

True but buy next January it will.

I though that 1 year requirement was only for Production but I certainly could be wrong on that.

Lim & L10 - US App D7 & D8 (16). Production is somewhat of a mystery, since the M&P40, M&P9, and M&P357 are currently on the Production list, yet I have yet to see the latter two even available to the General Public.

Subject to mcb's comment about mag length and USPSA, I know of a couple of places with 20 round ProMag's for the XD40 in stock.

I just purchased 2 20 round mags for my XD40 at a show. Pro mag is the manufacturer. I am not very impressed with their performance. Every time I loaded the mags up at least one round did not chamber and a few times there was a delay in the chamber. I made sure it wasn't something with my gun. I loaded over ten of the 20 round mags and about 15 of the factory 12 round mags and this was only happening with the 20 round mags.

Pro Mags suck period.
