Can I convert a XD45 to XD9 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

are the parts interchangeable on the XD45 tac vs XD9 tac? Would it even be worth it? to get the parts. Or just get another gun

Thanks

Buy another machine, the XD-9, in
addition to the XD-45.

from what i've read here, it doesn't sound like the slide from a 9, 40, or 357 will fit on a 45 frame (45 is bigger, feeding problems?). plus, it doesn't sound like Sprigfield Armory offers to sells those kinds of major parts.
i also have a 45xd. i've been keeping my eye out for a .22 slide conversion that i read about here awhile ago. cost will probably be compairable to the .22 conversion slide made for the glock...but my info is only from browsing this site, i have no real inside info.

Advantage arms was supposed to have a 22lr conversion by the end of 07... Nothing yet and my emails go unanswered.

I'd like to see a .22 conversion kit...I'm getting tired of waiting and might just end up buying a new gun.

Convert an XD45 to an XD9......

NO!!!!

The two calibers are very different in diameter and length. Converting a 45 to a 9 requires a new upper slide assy and custom mags that will not work with a XD9.

Converting a 45 to 9 is no different than converting a 45 to 22lr.

If you want a 9....buy a 9....

why would you want to? the XD45 is such a great machine, why would you want to interchange it?

If it was a plug and play, completely interchangeable I figured I could save on some ammo.

Spoke with Bob of Bobscustomshop today in person about it (I bought a rifle from him) Didn't know he made XD parts!

because 9mm costs about half as much as .45acp.
