Needing a smaller package than my Glock 19 and Evolution 9 can. The subcompact Springfield XD pistol will the longer framed pistol fit for threading? Will the longer 15rnd magazines work in the smaller framed gun? |
| I’ve been told (not by the company but buy a dealer who has never sold an XD) that all XDs will accept Beretta mags. So in thery you cold plug in a 20 round M9 mag and go to town at the range. I’ll know for sure when I get one with my tax return, or some on just email Springfield Armory. I bet that would be quicker than the IRS! |
I just tried to stick a Beretta 96 mag in my XD-40. The beretta mag does not have a hole in the right place for it to lock into the mag well. Did it go in all the way? Yes. Could it be used? No. |

The subcompact is capable of taking the 15 round mags that fit the Service and Tactical size XD's. You can buy the 15 rounders, and then buy a sleeve. They will hang out the bottom, but that's where the sleeve is located on the mag then. Check them out here: www.pistol-gear.com/proddetail.php?prod=35PA |
If you cut the hole in the right spot, then they will work, the only issues are cutting the hole correctly for the mag to function, and a slight modification of the follower is needed for the slide not to hang up on it. and David, the 15 rd mags will work in the Sub-frame, there is a sleeve that is currently available to place on the mag to fill the gap between the frame and mag bottom, making it a full length grip. a better place to get these questions answered is definitely here: XD Talk Forum |
I have a full size. Do they make a sleeve for the standard beretta mags. For the little bit that sticks out? Do you know who makes them? I have beretta mags that are cut to fit the XD. They all work fine in my Service model. They are a bit longer and don't fit flush with the bottom of the grip. There was a warning, in the XD Talk forum that you could break the ejector if you smacked them in. |
| the full size 9mm and .40 mags will fit the subcompact. not sure about your other question, might want to try here: www.hs2000talk.com/index.php?sid=257353b9712ec63fc1fe47dc04e3f822 |
you could try this, it might just cover up that little bit on the bottom of the grip, and it's not permanent.. |
It might cover it up, but won't create a positive stop. Thanks for the link tho'.  My wallet is now lighter.
