My dad left me this too. It was his everyday carry and is mine also for open carry.
Its mainly stock minus the springs he upgraded and the optic.
What are some slide and barrel upgrades I can do? It's in very very good shape for the amount of time he's had it. It was purchased like the same week they first dropped the xd 45 model
I already have a new solid stainless guide rod, aluminum striker retainer plate, new extended slide racker, extended magazine release, extended heavy duty ejector, and aluminum cocked indicator, all on order lol
Its the xd 45, 5" tactical with the high capacity 13 round magazines
Whats the current value on these? I'll never sell or trade it but I am curious
If it didn't have the sentimental value, I'd trade it on another newer model.. Butttt. I can't. So I figured I'd do a little work on this to make it even better
Any suggestions period are greatly appreciated, I didn't know much about the sidearm part of all this until he passed and I was left everything luckily I was left tonssss of books and manuals and I have Google at my fingertips
Thank you everyone! Bear with me here I'm a 16 year machinist not an armorer
