    The original barrel has alot of wear on the exterior. I want chrome plated or stainless exterior.

    Actual wear or just where the finish has worn ?

    If you want to switch out due to looks, thats fine. Looks will be about the only thing you will change. If you were talking about Glocks, you might be gaining a little additional chamber support and going with traditional rifling, rather than polygonal. Being you are asking about an XD, the only benefit I see would be appearances.
