Longshot83 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Just got my xdm 5.25 .40 back from the springfield custom shop. Had them install their customer fit match barrel. Turn around time was two weeks. Before sending it back it would shoot 4-6 inch groups at 25 yards off a rest. Didn't matter which ammo I used. With the new barrel it consistently shoots 1.250" 5 shot groups at 25 yards off a rest, using 180 fmj factory ammo. The 165 fmj is right at 2". Well worth the money. This is the second gun I have had them re-barrel and am very pleased with both. I would recommend there service to anyone with an XD or XDM.

aandabooks Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Sounds like good results. What does the service cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynes_world_45 Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I thought they came with match barrels? What do they do to custom fit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longshot83 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 It's was around $220 including shipping both ways. I think there "match" barrels, more of a marketing gimmick and I would bet the factory ones are not hand fitted. Probably just like a drop in barrel. The springfield custom match barrel is over sized in the locking lugs, hood, etc and had fit to the slide and locking block. The lock up is extremely tight on the new barrel.

waynes_world_45 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That's a hell of an improvement. Definitely worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Do you have any recommendations on how to do business with Springfield ? Is two weeks is the normal turn around ? I'm on this! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmarsh1966 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Sounds like a good investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
