Custom work on your polymer pistol

I was wondering if anyone here has had any work done on their polymer pistols. I came across a website ya'll are probably familiar with called springer precision. I am interested in getting the grip on my XD textured. They can also make the grip SC leingth. I like this idea since the grip is really the only quam I have with the gun. Its a little long and prints in my work attire. Maybe while its getting a face lift I will have night sights and a trigger job done on er. post pics too if you got em. Thanks in advance.

modifications

Check out BowieTacticalConcepts.com I have a Glock being customized as we speak. Takes a little while 3-4 months. But, I think I it will be worth it.

Scott at Springer is highly reccomended on the XD forum.

If you want another option try Canyon Creek Custom - Firearms for the Sportsman Rich is also highly reccomended.

They both do the same things to the XD's and I have heard good things about both.

Make it your own if you plan on keeping it. If you ever want to sell it, the buyer may not want to pay extra for any modifications on a polymer gun, professionally done or not. Most people think custom jobs can only be done on 1911s and Hi-Powers. Don't hammer me, this is only IMHO!

I've been a member over there for 3 or 4 years and there has never been a problem with anything Scott or Rich has done, that I have read about. I check the boards daily and their work is always great. I would send it to either Scott or Rich, period.

I have a Canyon Creek Production Ready XD45 Tac that I bought new from Rich. I would go with Scott if I were you, though you will likely end up with a gun that you love, either way. I am probably biased, though, as I already have a sick XD45 from Rich and now would like to try Scott.

As said before, I will never get my money out of it. But I think it is all it can be and it is sweet.

My XD-40 subcompact is currently with Scott
I"ll let you know how freaking awesome it is when I get it back :) haha. I've only heard great things. Their customer service rocks, they even called me after I shipped it to them to verify exactly what I wanted done. Can't beat that. He even answered every single email I sent him before I decided to ship it to him, no matter how stupid my questions were

I figured I wouldnt get any of my money back on the custom stuff. Its kinda like a custom paint job on a car. it may be what you want but if you ever intend to sell it it may not be the the potential buyers want. I have my XD for sale in the "for sale" section. But I got to looking at all the stuff one can do and I think I may reconsider. I have seen some sweet pistolas with custom work done to em. I like how william wallace left his back strap stock and did the rest. Sweetness!

On my carry piece, too...



Plain old skateboard tape, cut at home in the living room. They have both had the tape for at least 2 years now and it hasn't come off... I'm no operator or anything, but they do get a fair amount of handling. The 40 is handled daily.

so, your grip texture is skateboard tape? If im fallowin you...that looks good! I have heard of guys useing it on their 1911's. Just a small piece on the front strap.
Does anyone know if the XD V-10 slide will fit the XD N/A V-10? I think that slide is pretty sweet. But money permitting it may not seem so sweet after I find out how much it costs.
