XD40 --> 9mm conversion barrel
Hello Everyone,
I have recently been seduced by the XD line, and I plan to buy an XD40SC in a week or so.
I know that a 9mm conversion is available for the 4" service model. My question is, can I use the longer 4" barrel in the XD40SC model if I wanted to? (I know it would stick out past the slide, but the idea is that I want my wife to have fun shooting it at the range, but I know she would not take to the .40 shell)

Thanks for the advice, this site a great resource!

No you may not. the engagement surfaces are different. The barrel will not fit. I tried it with a friends XD40sc and my own 9mm conversion barrel.

I don't think this year or next year will come true....I'm one of the waiting list victims too.
I have been waiting the conversion barrel for almost 2 years, making that simple barrel takes more than 2 years....come on, is not a rocket sciences.
Asked them making an additional 1/2" longer drop in threaded barrel not conversion type, also not possible.

Recommended buy XD40 service instead of subcompact! More existing accessories to play with.
