xd sights

[patbax2]

Is there any good way to adjust the front sight on a springfield xd? Mine shoots a little to the right and it bugs the crap out of me. I can see where the sight is slid over a little bit further to one side.

Yes, they can be adjusted. There is a tool made just for that reason. You could also tap it over, but I'm not sure I'd attempt that.

If it were me, I'd pay a few bucks for a gunsmith to do it.

[patbax2]

Yeah i don't think I'm ready to get the hammer out on it just yet. I'll just take it to a gunsmith then.

Yeah I wouldn't try that myself with an XD!

I tried to remove the sights on my first XD,and found its true what they say about them being in there tight!

I have noticed that many of the front sights on used xd's are banged up. Even with a gunsmith's experience it is not an easy task.

yeah...I just picked up a XD9 Service and the prev owner had some TFO's installed and I think they are a hair off....not gonna try and move it

you adjust the rear sight to the right to pull the muzzle left

pistolgear.com sells a pusher for the xd for $99.

My XD 40 Tactical was shooting way left when it returned from Tripp Inc. (Slide Matt chromed). I removed slide and put it in vise (rubber faced jaws) and moved it easily (rear sight) with nylon punch - no scars on any surface. It can be done, however, you need to be cautious and somewhat skilled with this approach.

[patbax2]

Don't know if im brave enough to try that. I'll just fork out a little bit of money and take it to a gunsmith. It will only have to be done once anyway
