Odd question on the XDm line up….

According to Gemini:

No, the Springfield Armory XDM (and XDM Elite) was never factory-produced in .357 SIG.

While the original, first-generation XD line (specifically the 4-inch Service and 5-inch Tactical models) did come chambered in .357 SIG, Springfield Armory skipped the caliber entirely when they upgraded to the XDM series. The XDM line was strictly limited to 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and later, 10mm Auto.
If you have seen an XDM firing .357 SIG, it was modified. Because the .357 SIG cartridge is based on a necked-down .40 S&W case, shooters frequently buy an XDM chambered in .40 S&W and drop in an aftermarket .357 SIG conversion barrel (made by companies like EFK Fire Dragon or Bar-Sto). Since the rims are identical, the factory .40 S&W slide, extractor, and magazines work seamlessly with the conversion barrel.

FWIW

Kinda thought so. I might get the barrel to go with the XDm 40.

So thank you
 
i'm a fan of the 357sig and convert many 40s/w to that. as far as bar-sto goes i don't believe they offer 1 for the 5.25", but would need to defer to their site. some offering aren't listed like 45acp for p320's and maybe in p250's? bar-sto did confirm they need to update info on their site about some cartridges. on sig's site people were wanting the same (45acp p320 barrels) threaded and/or ported styles in comp and carry lengths. i'm not sure about full size availabilities? if something isn't listed, just call them. some are only run once per year. i have probably 10 barrels from bar-sto and all have been gtg (semi-fit's). i have 3 i haven't fitted yet.
