Tinkering with XDM springs

By | December 9, 2013

This week we’re searching for an inexpensive spring for XDM shooters that prefer XDM kitlast-round slide lock over the +1 (but no slide lock) capability of the Grams spring/follower kit.  Turns out the factory XDM spring resembles the Glock spring — but with some important little quirks. Currently if you want the full +3  you’re stuck with the stock spring and its  “iffy” last-round lockback after 50 cycles or so.

Using a 140mm Glock spring gives you +2.5, and locks the slide back positively.
