FeroxDrakenHK Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi, I have had my XDM for a while, a couple of years now. Recently the cycling has been a bit stiff and janky. I would like to upgrade it but not sure where to start other than the metal slide as a friend suggested. I'm looking for recommendations as to which products I should buy to upgrade my pistol, and if there are any internal components or parts I should prioritise please. I don't want anything too flashy or colourful, I use it for stealth work and CQB so the more practical the better. Appreciate the help! Link to post Share on other sites
bladerunner168 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 This is what I did to mine: Shooters Design slide and outer barrel Spring and Spring guide - I think mine was Nine ball, but could have been Shooters Design too Inner barrel - Nine Ball 6.01 Hop Bucking - Nine Ball I love mine, it's my only pistol and I've had it since it first came out.

icolater Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Trigger bar is a must change, to steel or even a WE one. Link to post Share on other sites
stryker20000 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Sorry to hijack this but I thought of this after reading here. I purchased this slide and it's currently on it's way across the ocean: http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=634_223&products_id=15483 When I fit it on will I need to replace the recoil spring? My pistol was an Evike boneyard gun and I have had it for almost 3 years now. Love it and it's my primary. With that slide, is there anything else I may need to change out from stock parts?

ED-SKaR Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 ...a couple of years now. Recently the cycling has been a bit stiff and janky.... You don't need to upgrade it, you need to CLEAN it. Link to post Share on other sites
mimesis Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Look at it this way. With a metal slide and a stiffer spring, you're giving the charge of gas two extra tasks to do on the rearward movement of the slide: propel a heavier slide and compress a stiffer spring. Certainly, a stiffer spring will propel the slide forward faster, but only if it's been suitably compressed first. Definitely keep stock unless you really need to change things.

stryker20000 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Just got it today and it feels lighter than the stock slide. Haven't changed the internals over yet but man, the slide is georgeius Link to post Share on other sites
