Not a big deal. I have a XD Tactical that has different number Slide/Barrel serial from the frame. My x-wife has a compact that is the same but reversed. When I acquired the Tactical it was one of those models that had the 5 inch slide kit on a compact frame, with full capacity mags and grip extensions. The reason behind this model was market it to SWAT units, so that they may use both compact mags and full capacity mags should they find themselves in a jam (at least that is what I read). I think it was a poor plan and poor marketing ploy.
Anyway, I had a standard service model and it made more sense to me to put the frame of the Service Model on the Tactical making it a full size Tactical and the making the other a full time compact. Both guns do what they are designed to do and I reckon my ex wife and I will always share that......................... since I couldn't get it back from her.
