I have an xdm 40 and would like to convert to 9mm, can I just order a barrel and proper mags or is there more to it? Also, I'm looking at having some upgrades done, are there any good places near or in eastern Iowa? Thanks for all the help!

Or is there a good source for just slides and barrels?

You need a "conversion" barrel, like this:

and then 9mm mags.

What sort of upgrades are you looking for?  Don't know anybody local, but Springer Precision Powder River Precision and XDMan all do good work, or at least that what I've heard through the Interwebs...

Thank you for the info! I'm just looking at some trigger work and maybe new sights. The 40 was my first 'real' handgun, so I want to keep it but I prefer to shoot 9mm.

I love my 40 and would never think of modifying it.

Wow, the new storm lake barrel shoots great!! I shot some IMI and it functioned great, but also shot some freedom remanufactured and had some short stroking and failure to lock back after last round. Not a big deal but may look into an actual 9mm recoil spring for it. Over all very happy, and if I want to shoot 40 again it only takes about a minute to change back! Thanks again for the info!
