I'm looking for some suggestions. I had wanted an XDM 9 for a while now so I sold another 9mm and replaced it with a new 4.5"XDM. First of all I love the gun it is well behaved, and fits all of the criteria that I desired. Except one. While I was waiting for the salesman to help with my purchase I reached for my desired weapon and my hand was for some inexplicable reason was drawn to the one with the stainless slide.
Normally I am not given to impulse decisions but it just happened. After a day or two I began to have shiny remorse. Now I realize that maybe I am just not cool enough to flash the bling so to say. First of all I want to replace the sights, and I don't want to do it on a weapon that I may not want to keep for a long time.
So my question is what is the best way to replace it with a black one without loosing what little buttocks I have (sorry that you had to know that much about me.)
It has only 72 rounds through it and I think that a dealer might look at it just as they would another more experienced gun, if I ask for a trade. The only other choice that I see is to buy another one, and sell this one outright. If so I am not sure how much to ask, given it's low mileage.
My wife says not to sell any more guns do to the annoying whinny sound that it seems to cause around the house. But I can't justify owning both of them. I would thank you guys for any input.

I thought that a slide coating might be too expensive, but I will check it out.
