THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Yesterday My son was in town and wanted to go to the range so I took both barrels and set up two targets. The FACTORY barrel was CONSIDERABLY more precise than the barsto! I didn'ttake pics but I did a 10 shot, three inch group with the factory at 7 yards and the barsto was about 10 inches!! When I broke things down to clean I took a look, there is TWICE the rifling in the stock than the barsto! Guess I'll take a breath next time I get upgrade fever |

Guess I'll take a breath next time I get upgrade fever I just don't understand the thinking here.? You had a great shooting pistol. You sent it away on the rep that Bar Sto has with other pistols more than likely. The XDm has a match barrel already. It is a "combat" pistol you know? I have the XDm competition for accuracy and it is perfect just as it is. |

If you are getting 10" groups, please send the slide and barrel back into us. At 7 yards you should be getting 1.5" or smaller groups with quality ammo.

I hope that in no way did my post come off as slamming Springer Precision. You guys and delivered EVERYTHING promised and were a joy to work with. |

It didn't, but the barrel fit should shoot that well, and I would be more than happy to make sure that it does.

UpgradeFever... LOL
I had that 2 weeks ago with my XD. Got myself a Hi-Viz front sight, Pistol Gear solid guide rod with 1911 spring 20#, Powder River Ultimate match trigger kit... Good luck with your new barrel. |
