Greetings,
I own and XD-40 and am becoming more and more interested in trying the .357Sig caliber. Doesn't seem I am going to need to do much in the way of modifications. Is a new barrel conversion all that's required?

Thanks is advance for replying.

Welcome,
That's about all you need to convert to 357 sig.

ChiantiM,

You're right, you only need to change the barrel. The only manufacturers I know of that make aftermarket barrels for XD are EFK Fire Dragon and Bar-Sto. Some people also upgrade the recoil spring to heavier weight but this is a matter of personal preference.

I you're interested in a ported .357 barrel for a 4" XD (either factory ported or not) I have one for sale on http://www.hs2000talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=25592 among other things.
