Nothing really functional as far as mods yet, but things that I like, I like to mess around with. Here's some pictures of my XDs in its current state! I'll probably get the barrel parkerized so that it'll be able to stand up to the elements ect. Started talking to RDA about it earlier this week, just need to get it done!

I also found a spring kit that changes up the trigger slightly. I'm tempted to try it for kicks. It's like $15, and I can undo it if I don't like it.. Hmm..

Also, I know the grip tape on the mags isn't the prettiest.. I used left overs from the kit just to get it covered. I think it feels pretty darn good. Need to go test it out now!

Ringo, the mods look great. I like the white highlight on the XDs text Thumbs up

Just be careful if this becomes your main CCW. If you become involved in a self defense situation and use your XDs, prosecutors will tear into every mod on your firearm.

Yeah, I was thinking of that... The spring kit is only suppose to clean up the pull just a tiny bit, but I know that doesn't matter in those situations. Everything else so far is just for looks! I like the look of the polished barrel, but since I do want it to be my ccw, I need to get the barrel finished before I carry it

I won't... It sounds like a fun project but it doesn't even sound as desirable as I hoped before. I liked the idea of the project, but the idea fell out of favor after watching a couple videos on it. Still neat, I'll have the idea logged away for if I retired the gun from carrying for any reason. But even then, the stuff it claims to 'fix' don't actually bother me in the first place. So tearing into it that far for something that only comes back with negatives... No thanks.

Nice! Great setup. Looks super comfortable.

Where did you get the Grip tape? I am in need of a small amount to add to some Bi-Pod legs to keep them from slipping around at the range. Although I prefer a nice Black or Camo...

It was from precision river products.. They do everything for Springfield's.. But I'll take a look at the packaging and see if it gives am indication of where else to get the material. I really like the feel of it so far

An attorney will rip you apart whether it's ccw or even a home invasion, of course home invasion is hard to justify.
