I know that you can interchange the .45 slides between a compact and a tactical.

anyone tried a 9mm 4" slide on a subcompact 9mm.... just wondering

Doesn't work. Barrels are completely different in the SC line.

It's not just the barrels, a lot of the internals are a bit different to scrunch things up into the shorter frame.

Tac/Service swap is OK. SC + anything else = trouble.

Tac/Service swap is OK. SC + anything else = trouble.

Just to clarify...If I buy a .45 4" slide and barrel, I can put them straight onto my .45 tactical?

Yes. The frame for tac/service in 9/40 and .45 is identical. You can't go 45 to 9 or 40, though...

*edit* nevermind, the tactical looked bigger.

A 'complete' slide/barrel will interchange.

Basically if you field strip a 5" and a 4" you can swap the slides between frames

What about if i find a .45 4" service slide and barrel.. would i beable to convert my 9 into a .45?? or would it be cheaper to just go buy a .45

No, can't do that.

I have an xd40 service and i understand i can put xd9 complete slide assy on it. So where can i get a full xd9 slide assy.
