Springfield XD 40 to 9mm Conversion Extraction fix

This is my suggested solution to the 9mm conversion extraction issue that SOME people have. Not All XD Service model pistols have this issue, but I was an unlucky one who did have it and this is how I fixed it.

So your shooting 9mm and

.40 off the same gun. I'm asking because it seems like you switch to a 40 magazine

@bassman2477 Yes. 9mm conversion barrels are a beautiful invention.

indexing your trigger finger should just be a natural habit other that that great of u to show this, any way i am not bashing u but indexing is the mark of the true professional, be safe and practice kinda try to make it a habit like buckling up, it should happen even without u realising it over time just a safety tip, and have fun, very smart move getting an xd , they cant be beat in my opinion

[thisguy41487]

@nathan00campbell True that. I've noticed my finger does that often. I've been working on it while practicing with my AR15 also, which seems to have helped me with it a lot. I notice it happens more and more when my fingers are fatigued. And no problemo on bringing it up. I'm glad that there are people out there advocating safe firearms handling.

well firearm safety is king, me personally i have a 2 yo boy well 2 in January, but he will never even have a toy gun, until i feel that he is old enough for the Nordic 22 i have been building for him for over a year, over 2k invested already, any way i dont ever want him in the habit of pointing and saying bang, just like how i was raised my first gun was no toy, all in one x-mas i got a 22 revolver and a 10 22 and also a 20ga, happy times, that began my first hunting trip, woo hoo

[thisguy41487]

@thisguy41487 I've been looking to see if anyone sells the XD9 extractor and seeing if it will fit in my .40. Then at that point, I might try to figure out a way for it to grab all 9mm without hindering the .40 performance.

[thisguy41487]

@thisguy41487 Totally late on this, but it's primarily a problem in the caliber change. I've been working with and researching into it more and more, and it's just the way that the upper for the XD is designed. I've discovered that the lower for the XD40/357 sig and XD9 are exactly the same.. As in I have successfully swapped slides with an XD9 and fired 9mm flawelessly. And the slides are very similar, save the barrel outside diameters and their cuts. (Continued in next post)
