Just4FunLP Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I have a 9MM XDm 5.25 with over 70,000 rounds through it, and needless to say, it’s accuracy is totally gone. It’s been in the safe for a couple of years now, and I’d like to get it fixed up again. I assume a new barrel would be a good start. I see new barrels for $225 on the springer site. Is this the way I should go? $225 is a little more than I dlike to spend. Is there a bushing or any fitting that needs to happen? I’d hate to have to put $300 into it by the time it’s done.

Joe4d Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 well I can see your point , can buy a new complete gun for what 5 ish ? I suspect the wear may be rifling and throat as well as barrel to slide fit due to wear. I see KKM's barrels at 185. ID probably fit one of them. However I can give you a couple tips on the cheap.. One idea that costs nothing. Buy .357 or .358 coated bullets.. Bigger than you are using now. 2nd tip,,, Id buy a throat reamer clean up the throat and then long load your ammo to make up for it. You can go to a rounder nose profile to get the bullet close to grooves yet still fit in mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You can get a drop in fit Barsto and you'll be up and running again. If you don't know about fitting barrels and don't want to send your slide to get a barrel fit, it is the most economical way to get a quality barrel going unless you can find a take off barrel.

Just4FunLP Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Thanks. Are the KKM barrels good? Not that it matters. It’s got to be better than what’s in there now. Can you buy stock barrels from SA.? I don’t really see anything about parts on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJH Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I would call springfield, they may put a barrel in it for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just4FunLP Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yea. I may call them. It’s been back twice. Once for a chip in the slide where the slide release catches. This may or may not have been a legit warranty type issue, never the less they fixed it. The second time they replaced a front sight I knocked off in a window in the shoot house at Universal Shooting Academy. I told them I didn’t expect them to fix it for free, but they did anyway. Super customer service! I wouldn’t be totally surprised If they replace this barrel for free, but that would be amazing. I adsolutely tortured this gun.

fedupflyer Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Is Springfield still doing the hand fit barrel in the custom shop? I don’t see it listed but I would like to have it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Right now Springfield custom shop is offering very few services for customer guns as they are trying to catch up on their full custom guns. Hopefully they will bring back all the services for customer guns soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
