    Need help! Need a new front sight for XDm

    So I got a custom slide made for my XDm because I didn't want to cut into the original slide. The front sight cut is larger in the custom slide compared to the factory slide. The maker of the slide suggested I use red Loctite. He will get a over sized front sight to me in a few weeks but I'm trying to shoot this new gun. Are there any sights that can be shaved down that I can use? Also any RMR plates I can use? I have a cut for that.


    Thanks!
    The liberal see's the glass as half full and tries to take more.
    The conservative see's glass as half empty and tries to keep it that way.
    I'm with the people on the side just pouring water in the glass trying to get a drink!

      Why not just shoot the gun with your factory slide until the new slide has the rmr on it?

        I already moved the internals over and getting that dang extractor out is a PITA. Plus it just looks to dang cool! I just ordered PRP plate for my RMR. That should be here no later then Monday and then Ill just shoot with the optic till I get a sight.

            No slamming them cause I LOVE the slide work and they will be sending a sight. I just want something in the meantime.

                It looks better in person and they really hooked me up. I just need to get a front sight now.

                  mlevans66,

                  What is the intent of your XDm? Will it be for target shooting or concealed carry?

                  For concealed carry guns, large sights might become a detriment.
