That’s how I feel about mags…..

Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Is this a temporary measure? XD9 mags are not that expensive, especially when somebody has them "on sale". I'd recommend using the proper factory mags, especially for defensive purposes.
Example: $22 at gunmagwarehouse.com for XD9, 16 round.
Thank you for your indulgence,
BassCliff

I would think the lips would be too wide to hold 9 mm rounds. The .40 mags can also be used with .357 Sig ammunition, but I don't think it will hold the 9mm. I say this without a .40 to try this with.

They aren’t.
In fact, quite often on a lot of magazines, if you measure the lips, 9mm and .40 are identical. Sometimes the follower is different, though.
During the 94AWB, a “work around” the 10rd mag cap was to use a .40 magazine in your 9mm; you could usually fit 12-14 rounds of 9 in a ten round .40 mag.
Of course, you had to test to make sure it was reliable, but…it usually was.
I’ve done it with USP’s. It works.

Thanks Hans! I have never owned a .40 and I learned something today. It is my goal to learn at least one thing a day, and since it is 8:06 in Missouri and I have already met my goal, I am going back to bed!
