I have an XD .40 that has a stubborn rear sight. I'm trying to replace the factory rear and can't get the old one off. I've tried a sight pusher, brass punches with full size hammer and it won't budge. I've read that using an air chisel works but the gun is already sold so I don't want to damage it. Any ideas or tricks? Would heating it up help?

So I was wondering whats the most you can do in production to your gun, frame cuts, trigger pull, sights, etc. Also Is stippling allowed in production?

Is the extended grip safety, ie gripe safety with the "memory bump" legal to use in Production division? Straight forward question, looking for a straight forward answer. I understand per the rules it says anything external must be offered by the OFM or the Custom Shop, so would the one by PRP be Prod legal, since their trigger kits are?

OK, So a buddy bought a couple mag extensions for his XD .45 and they seemed to be pretty decent so i ordered 6 of them for my xd45 tac that shoot in limited division so i could get a couple more rounds in the gun at a time. They came with heavy springs, so I installed them. I noticed at the first match that they were a BEAR to load with the new springs and had to be downloaded one so i could seat them without having to crush them in place. no biggie, i figured the heavy springs would break in. After the first match I found one was cracked where the magazine slides into the mortise in the extension. I chalked it up to a bad one and went on my way. Last match i drop a partially loaded mag onto the ground during a reload and POP- YARD SALE! The mag body, spring, follower and broken baseplate along with the remaining rounds all decided to spread themselves as far as possible on the range floor. At the end of the course I found a third cracked- all along the same line where its holding onto the magazine. I can only assume that they are NOT strong enough to hold up under regular use with the supplied heavy springs. So I emailed AGP with my issue and my order number. Over 10 days ago, no reply. Even if they have a bad batch or something Id completely understand- stuff happens, but MAKE IT RIGHT. NO RESPONSE is not cool! I hate to say it, but at this time I have to recommend that you avoid using AGP, especially when theres so many other companys out there that will service their product. PS- had my buddy check his extensions- that he carries on duty- one was cracked. They have all been pulled off and is now sitting in the junk box with mine.

Somewhere along the line, I was of the impression Aimpoint Comp and Comp XD sights were REALLY tough, REALLY reliable, and guarenteed. And if they ever did become disabled they could most likely be serviced, within reason. Such is not necessarily the case and i now have two very nice Aimpoints Comps that are $400+ pieces of worthless scrap. (However, they do seem to work as a very clear 1X monocular!) The one Aimpoint Comp XD has been mine since Day 1. NEVER abused. Looks NIB. Near perfect glass/coating. Was mounted on a comped 9mm Springfield and used for Steel Challenge-type plinking (i.e. light loads only). The rheostat switch increasingly developed slop (no, it is not the two knob set screws) and it finally ceased to function. The second Aimpoint Comp had seen moderately more use but appeared fine. Very clean exterior. Near perfect glass. I was working the Shot Show at the time a friend showed up with it and complained of windage/elevation function problems. Thinking all Aimpoints were guarenteed (WRONG), repairable (WRONG), and mistakenly believing they would service their product for a nominal fee, I traded him straight across for one of my new Comp XD's. So ... I have sent 3 emails to Aimpoint inquiring about how to proceed. No reply (to any of them). Next I send them both to Aimpoint for est. repair cost - and I get back a VERY brief note 'they are beyond repair'. Interesting. They build them but they cannot replace a simple switch. They build them but they cannot re-establish windage/elevation function. Does anyone out there know of an independent Aimpoint repair station? ... like the fellas that used to redo/beef-up the old PDP3 sights? ~ one disheartened former Aimpoint supporter
