Does anyone know how to adjust the rear sights on an XD pistol without buying a 4 billion dollar piece of equipment? I have looked on Google, but you know after the fifth page of search results, you're basically scraping the bottom of the bin. Seems like every thread I find on adjusting the sights, everyone wants to blame the shooter, not the equipment, and the question never gets answered.
Personally Noel I had one set replaced with night sights but that had to be done by Clelands gunsmith. I would recommend you try RJ or Steve at Adco and see what they say. RJ can probably tell you if they can do it for you as he is a member of this forum. IF you REALLY wanna try it yourself a wooden dowel and a hammer are your friends but I would not want to try it myself.
I have shot more than 2,000 rounds out of my XD-40....the sights are fine. You been tossing the thing around? Sight adjust/install tool - Springfield XD - Top Gun Supply Maybe this will help.
Not tossing around, but the darn thing is off. I have my laser bore sighter and it's off to the left no doubt.
Just get night sights installed and it kills 2 birds with one stone. Check out www.xd-hs2000.com - the people on xdtalk say he's the best and cheapest. If you buy the night sights (iirc, about $125-130, cheaper than other places I checked), he installs it for free, takes about a week-10 days to get your barrel back.
I put night sights on my XD-40 I cannot tell you how much they charged me way back when but always worth having a pro take care of it for you.
