It would be kinda nice to see that propagate as an option on other models of the XD45.

cool mod, i like what you've done with it

Hey guys, in case you didnt notice, I posted new pictures on a new thread called "Pics of Internal Parts of Thumb Safety" because a few of you wanted to see the internal mechanisms around the safety. Tried my best with the pics so check them out and let me know what you think. Not quite sure how the thumb safety works mechanically (internally speaking) in correlation to engaging the sear. Maybe you guys will be able to tell from the photos. I'm still kinda new to all this. Enjoy!

Kaboom,

I don't follow you. The third picture (in the series) shows the slide stop and the safety.

Slide LOCK not slide stop. When the safety is engaged it will also prevent the slide from being racked back.

oops! My bad! Yep I see what you mean. Again, having not handled one, I don't know.

Prophotodude and other people with Xds with the thumb safety addition:
Can you rack the slide back with the thumb safety engaged?

Any ideas if it is interchangable with a NON-thumb safety slide? and of course you would lose the safety feature, but still use the gun as if it was a standard XD?

I knew better than to look at it, and yet I went ahead and did it anyway.
