Doesn't the XDM have like a 4.5 inch barrel or something like that?

If you use a conversion barrel and don't want it to stick long from the slide, you will need to have it cut and crowned to your new XDm. As for the mags, you will need to tweak the lips because the 9mm rounds will sit to high and may cause feed issue.

I still say you guys (PG) don't use overnite shipping, you use psychic shipping. I think you ship it before I even order it!

You are close. We employ microbes that live within all XD owners. Each night, we require all of our microbes to call in with your most recent thoughts and credit card number. When you place your order, it is merely a confirmation of what we already know.

I knew it! They also know when we get some sort of "bonus" so you can announce a new product.

With the 40SW mags, you can run 19+1 of 9mm!!

Will there be a drop in, can a drop in be made for an xd .40 to .45? I have the 9mm, and love it, want the full spectrum from one model, can you? will you?

In another post Old School mentions that conversion barrels for the xdm might be some time in coming out. In this post the mentions Scott Springer testing a conversion barrel and finding that it works. Which is which?

On the Pistol Gear web site under conversion barrel it says something to the effect if you use a xd tactical converson barrel in an xdm it may stick out by 1/2 inch.

So, if I get a xdm when they come in, and get a xd tactical conversion barrel from Pistol Gear for $150, it should drop in and work (except mabe for the magazine)? Is this correct?

The original post was done before we tested the barrel in the XD-M. The post that notes that the barrel works was second and confirmed by Scott's testing in the XD-M.

The barrel we offer for the XD-M is the same that we offer for the XD40 Tactical. Because the conversion barrel is 1/2" longer than the stock XD-M barrel, the conversion barrel will stick out. Other than the length of the barrel on the conversion barrel, it will drop in.

Perhaps this answered your questions?
