You have a Threaded XD 45? Compensator's generally don't do anything for low pressure rounds but add weight at the end of the muzzle.

 

[Mike51392]

How do you plan on mounting a compensator? Best mod run a thousand rounds thru it. Enjoy the smoother action and smoother trigger.

 

[Mike51392]

just seen people do it i have no idea how ignorant to that, roger sounds like a plan lmao

Enjoy your pistol and do what you will. Something I learned is that these models don't lend themselves to customization. There great pistols as is, with that said my XD45 and The my what would be my EDC if I had a CCW . My XDSC9 both have stippling jobs done by me and polished OEM trigger components done by me. 45 sports Truglow TFX sights and the 9 Truglow Tritium night sights installed by me. The 9 sports a DrawClip.

Right on 👍. If by "sliders" you mean Slide stay away from a company called DV8

 

[Mike51392]

My 45 isn't milled it has Truglow TFX sights they simply replace the factory sights

 

[Mike51392]

If your looking to mill your slide go here
Springer Precision
This is a video I made of my sight install
XD sights replacement

 

[Mike51392]

Negative my avatar photo is my service 9 with a Ade dove cut mount and Ade RDS don't recall the model. It was rock solid but ultimately I removed the RDS there not for me.

 

[Mike51392]

ive checked they dont do the xd 45 acp

Crickey that's surprising!

 

[Mike51392]

ohh gotcha thanks man, so watching your video i dont have a clamp or that little device you used to on the dovetail and front sight, what do you recommend i do?

If you don't have the proper tools I would suggest you have a gunsmith do it. Trust me with out the right tools your gonna do more harm than good.

 

[Mike51392]

Since I already fed you, I might as well change your diaper 😂. You have a few options

1. You man up, buy a good vise, set of steel punches, and a hammer - Then go for it!

2. What you said google a local gunsmith.

3. There's few online company's, gun shops, and / or gunsmith's where you can mail your slide.

DV8 has a very shady reputation from non working out of spec slides to down right theft.

 

[Mike51392]

i appreciate it man lmao, and cant do it my self active duty marines barracks aint big enough for a vise lol

Yeah always glad to help our freedom fighters. Thank you for your service.

 

[Mike51392]

Ok the "Springfield Armory XD" comes in 3 variations

3" barrel called "Sub-Compact" chambered in 9mm & 40SW(small frame)

4" barrel called "Service" chambered in 9mm, 40sw, & 45acp a few other obscure calibers as well the 9&40 frame are 100% compatible the 45 frame is different.

5" barrel called "Tactical " the service and tactical models share frames

Odd duck was the 45 "Compact" a 4" service slide with a shorter gripped frame.

 

[Mike51392]

If your gun looks like this congratulations your the proud owner of a
Springfield Armory XD 45 "Service Model"

 

[Mike51392]

XDE
E: I believe stood for exposed hammer thinner gun made with single stack lower capacity magazine. There's a reason why this model is no longer in production.

 

[Mike51392]

thank you

I thought the same thing 😂

 

[Mike51392]

Same thing for the Compact 45

XD 45 with down syndrome or dwarfism maybe both 😂

 

[Mike51392]

Yes sir assuming they mill 45 slides

 

[Mike51392]

You want to customize go with a Glock - trust me when I tell you this these pistols are great just the way they are. To me if I could only do 1 mod on all my XD'S it would be the stippling. It's what I think to be the most beneficial mod I could think of. I'm well aware that the stippling jobs I did to all my XD's aren't the best looking there the best feeling that iv handled.

 

[Mike51392]

Again enjoy your XD enjoy the forum alot of good info here
