Robar is right down the street from me, and I'm about ready to have my XD customized a bit. I want to make sure I get my order of operations down correctly though.
I've got a bi-tone XD9 with 4" barrel.
I'm interested in the following services from Robar:
-lighten the trigger
-decrease the reset distance
-install tritium sights of my choice
-grip modification to bring palm up higher into the backstrap, reducing bore height
-barrel feed ramp polishing (though I haven't had any problems so far)
Here's the rub: I want to get a suppressor for this pistol, which means I need a new, longer barrel, that is threaded. Should I get this first before starting with Robar on his customizations? How much longer of a barrel do I need for a suppressor to be properly installed? Will the added barrel length interfere with concealed carry of this pistol, which I currently do about 75% of the time?
Do I have to choose my suppressor before geting the barrel, to match the threading at all?
While my current stock of practice ammo is all FMJ, I will be "economizing" on LRN reloads with the next batch of reloading. Will this be a problem through a suppressed pistol? I also must have a cut-rifled barrel rather than polygonal rifled barrel as a result.
Who do you recommend making good XD barrels for this purpose?
