So I bought a 9mm XDM 3.8 back when they came out (as a gift for my wife.... eheheheheheh...).
I recently got my CCW and would like to start carrying, but I'd prefer to have the XDMc 9mm. Basically,
the same gun I already have, just with the shorty grip.

I called Springfield and asked if I could buy or swap my 3.8 frame for the compact frame and the girl
all but laughed at me (figured as much).

Do I have any options here other than selling this gun and buying the other? Seems like a huge waste
of money just for the shorter grip, but I really would prefer it for CCW.

I think springer precision can shorten your grip for you , and then you could just buy the shorter mags. I know they shorten xd frames , but i dont know if they can do the xdm because of the interchangable backstraps. It would be worh a call

These guys

Or these guys

There might be more, I didn't look very long, but these were the first 2 that came up.

Or you could just buy the gun that you want.

Or you could sell it and get the one that you want.
