[Duck of Death]

Hello,

I have an XD40 Tactical. I'd like to get a conversion barrel for shooting 9mm parabellum. The EFK FireDragon barrels from pistolgear.com piqued my interest.

My question is: if I install the EFK 9mm barrel in my XD, would it be safe to shoot the factory +P+ ammo from Federal, Winchester, Remington, et al? Anyone have firsthand experience doing this? Thanks.

Regards,
-The Duck

I think I remember a post not too long ago where someone emailed SA about this and they said +p was ok, but +p+ might be a bit too much for shooting regularly.

DrewDog,

Thanks for the pointer. As I read Springfield's response, +P+ could be too much for the 3" version, but it's not clear to me if this also applies to the Service and Tactical models.

I'll contact them and ask for clarification.
