What I did was to buy a .22 pistol (Ruger Buck Mark).  The  .22 ammo is much cheaper ($21 for a brick of 500), and it's more enjoyable for the wife to shoot as well.

As far as I know nobody is making one for the XD right now.  Advantage Arms has had one in the works for a while.  It was supposed to be out sring of 2008, but that didn't happen.

I thought i had heard of someone coming out with one last year, but that must have been Advantage arms.

I do have a .22 pistol to practice with in the mean time, but there is a big diffrence between practiceing with Ruger MkIII and practiceing with and XD.

I guess ill have to stick to dry firing drills for now.

There was some talk that Tactical Solutions might be making one.  I don't know if they are or if they are when it might be available.

A TS conversion would be awesome.

I might have to send them a email to see if they are.

Probably cheaper to buy a .22 pistol than get an conversion.
OR better yet buy a reloading press and make your .45 ammo cheaper.. :)

Here is the reply I got from Tactical Solutions when i asked them about the XD .22 conversion...


"Unfortunately, we do not make that at this time. Please check back with
us. We may have those available in the near future."


sounds like promising news to me. ;D
