Jr0402 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Does anyone know of a conversion for the XDM 5.25 45 to convert it to a 9mm? I recently won a 45 and would like to start shooting it but would much rather a 9 then 45. Thank you, John Myers Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) I don't think that this is a do-able project with a barrel swap, at least not with any reliability. The difference between the 9mm rim diameter and that of a .45 ACP is pretty huge. I don't believe that the extractor would ever grab a 9. What I don't know is whether or not the rail dimensions are the same between the two guns, which would enable you to swap slides. I would suspect that they're not, but maybe someone here knows....

RIIID Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 No one makes a 9mm barrel that will fit into a 45 slide and as mentioned already the breech face is too big. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incorrigible Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Frame on the 45 is larger than the 9/40 frame as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Trade in the 45 for a 9, should be the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
