- Simple magazine bottom plate swap to extend your 14 rounds flush magazine to a 16 rounds extended magazine for your Springfield XD-M Elite 3.8 Compact 9mm.
Thanks you Rek. I know it’s been about two years since you did this video but I just purchased the XDM elite and Pearce Grips to extend the mags and you couldn’t have been more helpful. There’s videos on UA-cam showing off the grip extension but not assembling it. Thanks again.
I bought the XDm Elite 3.8 Compact BUILT FOR the 20 round mags. Same 3.8" barrel, but has a grip built for the extended 9mm mags. It's PERFECTION. It fits perfectly in my hand. Great firearm.
Anyone ever tell you that you sound just like Dr. Nick from The Simpsons?? My wife caught it
Thanks for the video! I ordered the 22rd mag to do this, perfect setup!
Excellent! Bought one today and the ONLY thing I didn't like was not having anywhere for my pinky to go. Doing this fixed it! I have the 4.5 as well and just swapped magazine plates with those and now the gun is comfortable and looks awesome. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to know that! You are welcome!
Just add a pierce pinky extension. Looks good field's good. Same thing just swap out the base plate on the mag
looks nice but you forgot to do something important on this video, Load the mags & cycle the rounds to make sure it functions
It definitely cycles and fires. no hiccups. i just dont have caps to show it. and the youtube nazis... you know what i meant.
I’m hoping to get this done this weekend. Looks super cool
Damn that looks good I'm doing this for sure
Good video, thanks. Springfield could have done WWAAYYY better on that back strap and magazine sleeze. There is no reason the straps didn't have a set bottom that matched the same mag sleeve instead of this 1,2,3 stuff.
That’s cool I also have the same issue but I like the back strap like u said but if I want more rounds the 22 round mag will need some modifications, i like the back strap piece with the 19 round mag it feels comfortable that magwell makes me uncomfortable to be honest.
Very informative. Thanks
Hey @rekasky you can buy the mags with grip extension sleeves from Springfield Armory or you can buy the pinky extension plate from Pearce and ithey will both look and fit pretty dang well.
Thank you. I looked at that option, too. But, I already have extra magazines. So far, I'm satisfied with what you see in this video.
I just completed this modification and then took the mag well off for even more comfort. I was concerned that even though the magazine springs look to be the exact length of each other when swapping out. I contacted Springfield and they did not know, or could not tell me if the 13 and 19 round magazines came with he same mag spring.? I just want to make sure that this mod will work without causing a malfunction prior to using as my EDC. They did say there is two different part numbers for the two mag springs, but I believe that is due to the small black metal plate at the bottom which are different sizes on each
Ang galing mo pre...God Bless
Sweet! I’m doing this.
The magwell doesn't bother me, I have long slender fingers. But the mags without the sleeves look weird without the magwell. If you remove the magwell, definitely get the mags with cooresponding sleeves.
Looks good very nice
Very nice 👌🏼
So I’m assuming you can do the same thing with the 10 mm magazines? So all I really need is to buy a 14 round magazine and a 22 round magazine and switch the base plates on them correct? Excellent video and your gun looks awesome.
Seems it should work the same. Please share your video. Thanks.
You should take the mag well flar off and just buy 17,19&22 rd mag and get sleeves for them and it turns the handle in a nice comfortable full size handle and be done with it keep to flush fitting mags so you can carry concealed and the rest with the mag sleeves they just slide on and off no mus no fus
He sound like the count from sesame street when he says the round count on all the mags towards the end😂🤣
I grew up with my friends from Sesame Street.
Haha 😂 thats awesome man. Good sense of humor and good content!
Also have you had any feeding issues with the mag extension on the smaller mag?
@@sebastiancassatt4044 no feeding issue with any of my mags nor types of 9mm ammo, steel brass fmj jhp.
So to clarify. You have a 22 rd spring in a 13 rd magazine body?
The springs are the same. They are interchangeable. Yes, I place the spring from the 22 rd to the 13 rd.
Ayos Bro!
Maraming salamat, Bossing!
why does everyone complain about everything i just bought the 35 round mag i do not even care about no grip on it
Great looking and functional, do you know the height measurement with this modification?
adds about half inch. about a total height of 5.1"
I think most people remove the silly magwell on these.
The magwell does not EDC bother me, and serves me well. To each his own.
Did everything function & cycle properly after the swap?
A stainless steel, double stack magazine… you really don’t need a mag well …
I did removed the magwell. It is way better without it. Thanks.
Hahaha, congratulations on finding a way to get what you wanted.
Was only able to fit 21 rounds in my 22round not 22rounds
Correct. It needs some force because of the spring. Give it a while, the spring needs some "exercise". On the other hand, having a magazine with 1 less round attached to your gun when you store it, is putting less stress on you rail. Making it easier to rack.
What does it look like without the magwell?
I have not tried removing it. I'm keeping it as is.
I found this link, though it's for 10mm, the look should be the same www.xdtalk.com/threads/xd-m-elite-10mm-flush-fit-mags-without-magwell.453095/
Where did you purchase it from?
Try checking out a gunstore near you. Guns.com and the likes are ok too.
They have this for the .45 also?
They should.
Noce!
Do the 35 round mag fit in there
Apparently, the 35 rounds mag is designed for XD-M that accepts double stack 9mm mag. Rumor is that Springfield is cooking a 9mm carbine, hence the 35 rounds mag is a start.
@@rekaksky so it can fit in that then ? Cuz On the website it said it can I was just tryna make sure lol
It is designed for and should fit. XD-M® / XD-M® ELITE 35-ROUND EXTENDED MAGAZINE - 9MM store.springfield-armory.com/Shop/pc/XD-M-XD-M-Elite-35-Round-Extended-Magazine-9mm-p2616.htm
It does fit.
Where can I buy the +3 baseplate or the 23 magazine?
You can either 20 or 22 rounds at store.springfield-armory.com/Shop/pc/9mm-c1304.htm
Apparently, either the xdm or the xdm elite magazine base plate extension for 9mm 40 will fit. You can find them in ebay or other sellers.
@@rekaksky wasn’t able to find any of the baseplate extensions on ebay so if u find some I’d appreciate if you dropped a link. Other than that thanks for your feedback👌🏾
