Ive looked every where and I know how to get cutom sliders mounted sights lighter triggers aswell but where do you get compensators for this firearm

 

[Eli0341]

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.

i just have the xd 45 its not threaded

 

[Eli0341]

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

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

 

[Eli0341]

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.

I appreciate it dude, found a nice website for custom sliders and milling for sights, just want some sites for threaded or regular barrels that i can get in like silver or gold etc

 

[Eli0341]

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

really thats what i was looking at. why stay away?, waht do you recommend

where did you go to get your sight milled on your xd 45?

 

[Eli0341]

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

how do i remove the sights then I know there friction fitted

 

[Eli0341]

is that gun as youre profile pic not a xd with a looks to be a holosun sight?

 

[Eli0341]

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

ive checked they dont do the xd 45 acp

 

[Eli0341]

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.

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?

 

[Eli0341]

Crickey that's surprising!

disregard im stupid lol, do they do milling to the slider or just for the sight?

 

[Eli0341]

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.

okay and do i just google gun smiths near me lmao

 

[Eli0341]

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.

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

 

[Eli0341]

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

your welcome, just tryna understand the gun community aswell, so might sound dumb, but io get confused between the xd essentila 45 the xd 45 and the xd service 4 in, researched there about the same gun, if there chambered in 45 but springer precison has like 4 options to choose from

 

[Eli0341]

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.

okay thank you that clears up alot of questions lol, so the xd essential 45 is just the service 4"?

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

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.

thank you

 

[Eli0341]

I thought the same thing 😂

one last thing before i go this is the correct option for milling from springer precision for my sight?

 

[Eli0341]

Same thing for the Compact 45
