XDM sights

[Racer Doug14]

Replacing the stock sights. Ordered a set of trijicon HDs. Question is are they a PITA to replace? I'm gonna take them to a GS ,but should I expect an eyeroll? Also, what's a est.of rate $$?

Short answer, YES. I thought I was going to break the rear sight pusher and I had to send mine off to get the front put on. Broke a punch and was afraid I would ruin the slide. Send them to the guy at xdman.com. $25 and he had my slide back in a week from the day I shipped it.

I was basically told send it to Springfield. It's supposed to be a royal pain

They are tough, more because of the wedge shape of the slide than anything else. I had to make a wood jig for my press to do mine.

Well dang thanks guys.

even after watching some youtube videos I didn't want to attempt it on mine

xdman installed my meprolights and I had the slide back in a week or less. Must have been 5 years ago, but it was a great job at reasonable price.

Thanks. I might send it off to Powder river and have their trigger put in too.

+1 on Powder River Precision!

I have their triggers/components in all of my XDs and XD/Ms and they make a huge improvement. Link to PRP.

Freestate did sights for me while I waited a few years ago.

Powder River also did a gun for me including sight change. Good people
