Review: XD OSP Slide Conversion Kits
- Thread starter Mike H.
- Start date
Awesome article!!! This is "XD OSP Slide" is something I have been hoping Springfield Armoy would offer.
Living "Behind the Lines" in the "People's Democratic Socialist Republic of Commiefornia", we are limited in the choices of Firearms. Sure I would like to own a XDM OSP Elite, but unfortunately its not on the states "CA Approved Handgun Roster."
I have wanted to add a MRDS to my XD9 and XD45 Service 4 " barrel and Tactical 5 25" barrel, but really didn't want to have my original slides modified for a long time now. This will now give me the option of installing a "XD OSP" slide on my XD9 Service 4" barrel. I prefer my Springfield Armoy XD9 and XD45 over my Glocks. The XD's just feel right in my hand. XD's are ergonomically perfect!!!
Awesome deal Springfield Armoy, You hit a home run with this option!!! I'll take an XD's over a Glock anyday!!!
Now if you would just offer a "XD OSP Slide" for both my XD45 Service 4" and Tactical 5.25" "XD OSP Slide in 5.25" I would definitely be a "Happy Camper!!!"

I second the request for a OSP slide for a XDM for my 4.5 inch 45ACP
Right now when on my hip it’s in a SafariLand level 3 which wouldn’t work with a red dot but I know Theres a holster that would work just fine.
Come on Springfield expand that OSP slide option to other models.

Make this the third request for a .45ACP OSP slide. Why leave out the best caliber ??

Any word on SA offering similar OSP kit(s) for XDS Mod 2? Or any 3rd party you'd recommend?Hello all, here is today's article posted on TheArmoryLife.com. It is titled “Review: XD OSP Slide Conversion Kits” and can be found at https://www.thearmorylife.com/xd-osp-slide-conversion-kits-review/.

Just joined the forum to respond and say that I own 5 SA pistols (XDs, XDM, XDM Elites), and would very much like to see the line of available OSP slides expand. I'll happily buy a factory slide rather than send one off to be milled.

Totally agree, I would buy another handgun ready for an optic before I had a slide machined.
In fact I’m planning a trip to a couple LGS’s today and tomorrow to see what’s new and prices.

No it does not.
I also have a EMP3, awesome small concealed carry pistol. I would love to have a MRDS on mine!!!Very good article. Would love to see a slide kit for my Ronin EMP3!
I'll be calling Springfield Armory in the morning to see if it's possible to mill the slide or order a new slide and have it cut for a MRDS.
I just picked up a concealment holster for my XDM OSP 9mm 4.5" barrel. Haven't mounted my Holosun 507C GR X2 on it yet. I was using my Safariland Holster, which isn't compatible with it MRDS.I second the request for a OSP slide for a XDM for my 4.5 inch 45ACP

My new holster from "Tier 1 Concealment" works great and is MRDS compatible. Only issue I had, was I forgot to order the model with weapon mounted light/laser.
Check out Tier 1 Concealed website:
