Well, apparently after search a few XD forums, this is not such an uncommon thing, but after cleaning my XD, I suppose I was a little careless in putting the spring/guide rod back in, and it was off center by a hair. It is stupidly easy to do this.
Well, after pulling the slide back to push the locking pin into place, it just stuck there. It will not budge from it's position mid-way back. It will not go forward either.
Well, I emailed SA and got a call the next morning. they are eastern time, so I am at work while they are open, but he told me to try using a crescent wrench to budge it. no go. Even with he guide rod end in my vise, it is as stuck as a brink. I hate to send it back to them and deal with that.
Has anyone here had this happen before? Does anyone know of a smith CLOSER than SA to have look at it, maybe in so cal? Quite honestly, if this is a regular issue, the XD is not ready for prime time. I have never seen this in glock or HK. I can take some pics if anyone is interested.
Thanks!
