That would be really cool - much like the FNP 45 Tactical

Yeah, I'd love to see pics of your XD if you do it - might have to do the same!!
Exactly like that! Here is a list of what I will be doing to my xdm over the summer.
Slanted cuts into the front of the slide on either side.
Milled out for Mini Red Dot.
Suppressor sights for co-witnessing
PRP trigger -----------------------------In the mail
Polish barrel for a chrome finish
OD Green cerakote on the slide and grips
Coyote tan cerakoting on the rest of the frame
black cerakoted small parts
I am thinking for the red dot, and all the coating, milling etc im looking at 800-1000.
