Picked up my first XD! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Ghostface408 · 07-08-2008, 10:56 PM

Hey guys, just picked up my first XD and it's also my first firearm that I've owned. I've spent some range time with 92fs's, USP's, 1911's and Sig's but I decided to go with the XD as I feel it's a great beginner gun.

I also had some questions about some things that I'd like to look into down the line.

1. Where can I go (Bay Area, Ca) to have parts mirror polished if I chose to, or is there anyone reputable on the boards that can have this done for me.

2. I searched and found that .40 and .357 service XD's can have a 9mm barrel dropped in, and from that I assume that it can also go the other way, and you can easily drop in a .40 or .357 barrel into an XD original made as a 9mm?

3. Any particular ammo that the 9mm service XD's like/dislike? Lubricants?

4. It was used with about 1500-2000 rounds through it from the previous owner, is there anything I should look at and maybe repair?

Thanks in advance guys, I'll be stickin around

Sorry for the horrible cell phone pictures, I let my friend borrow my digicam.

9mm

No, the 9mm cannot be upgraded to the 40. Only the 40 can run a downgraded 9mm conversion barrel.

If you can buy it at a store, the XD will eat it. Seriously.
