I just purchased a Mod 3 9mm over Thanksgiving, and I purchased a Springfield Armory XD-M Replacement Barrel 4.50" Threaded 9mm Luger, Black Melonite from Buds Gunshop. I also purchased a compensator. Installed, the threaded barrel sticks out further than I expected. Does this seem right or did I purchase the wrong equipment. Thanks for the help.

The XD Mod 3 is a different gun then the XDm that’s why the barrel sticks out like it does, was at the Springfield web site store, don’t see a threaded barrel for the XD mod 3……so I would say your barrel is the wrong one
 
Hi @The_Rev920,

Welcome to the forum from the frosty Wild Wild Upper Midwest. :D

That's a very interesting contraption you have there. Does it function properly? Have you put live rounds through it yet? The XD9 Mod.3 has a stock 4" barrel and matching slide, hence the extra 1/2 in plus threads you have hanging out. I'm curious if the barrel/frame linkage is the same between the XD9 and the XDM models. Does the XDM barrel fit in the XD9 frame/slide to allow proper operation? I have one or two of each but never tried swapping barrels. "Close enough" might not be good enough and could cause problems. I'll bet @xdman might have a thought on this.

You might be surprised how often this question comes up re: threaded barrel for the XD9 Mod.3. Springfield does not offer one. I haven't found an aftermarket part yet. But maybe Bar-Sto Precision or other manufacturer will decide that they can sell enough to make it worth their while.

In the meantime, if that clever contraption of yours works properly, you could have the barrel cut down, crowned, and threaded to fit the comp with the stock slide. But I'm sure that would blow your budget. Just a thought.

Really, this is interesting. Keep us informed. I'd like to see what you work out.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it. I contacted Springfield Armory and you are correct they done offer a threaded barrel for the Mod 3. As of now, I am planning on returning the threaded barrel I purchased through Buds Gunshop and returning the compensator to Springer Precision. I was stoked to get both, and I did think about cutting the barrel down but I don't want to use or potentially damage it and be out of luck on all fronts.

There's not much recoil to a 9mm.

You are correct there isn't but it also looked awesome in my mind. Sad to say I'll be returning it so, once returned and money sent back, all is good.

Sounds like you need another gun to put them on… just a thought 🤔
