XD-s sights install
I have a couple of Springfield XD-s handguns and I bought some Trijicon hd sights for them. A local shop near me in Sacramento said they could install them for me. They were mistaken and could not. Doing some research I found that this is a common mistake and these guns are known to be difficult to add or remove the sights on. I called springfield to see if I could send the slides and sights to them to have installed, they said they won’t install them. I have these same sights on all my carry guns and would like to stick with them.
Anyone know of a place local or within an hours drive that can install these sights? I live in Sacramento. Thank you. |
Removing the factory sights is a serious b*#ch on the entire XD series. The trick is to cut the factory sights in half with an abrasive wheel in a Dremel. It’s scary, but it’s not hard and goes pretty quick. Then installing the new sights is pretty straightforward. There are a couple of YouTube videos that cover this.

XD-s sights install
XD-s sights can’t be removed with a sight pusher. I got stumped trying to remove them with a mgw sight pro and punch/hammer on a 4 inch vise. I ended up purchasing a huge 6” milling vise with aluminum soft jaws that holds the slide very firmly allowing the punch/hammer to direct all its energy just to the sight. Purchased this vise just because of xds. Since I got this setup I have only done xd/xdm. Have not had a xds come back thru my shop. Ive been looking forward to another xds but also scared at the same time. If you want to send it my way I can attempt to remove them. If they can’t be removed with my setup then I can bring it to my buddy to have them milled off.
I ended up masking off the sights and cerakoting around it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...930979fd81.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b5db0b15df.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ddf31cda23.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fae9073e02.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...195a2dba91.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2fe79243d6.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
