I have a piece left over! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I sent all the hard parts except for the barrel from my XD-9SC off for hard chroming. I left the slide assembled, but disassembled everything else myself. Everything came back today and I reassembled the gun. And now I have a small roll pin sitting there and have no idea where it's supposed to go.

Here are two pictures so you can get an idea of the size. Help???

Oh, and by the way; I was DREADING reassembling the magazine catch. Turned out to be no big deal. It did take me a few tries, but I had it together in about five minutes. Maybe I just got lucky though.

Roll pin for the striker in the top of the slide. Look at the top of the slide behind the ejection port and you should see a hole for a roll pin and it goes there.

If your mag release and grip safety work , then my vote is the pin that goes through the ejector to the face of the striker safety lever. Waaay too small to be the firing pin roll pin. Otherwise, I can't think of anything that tiny off the top of my head and without mine infront of me.

that looks like a roll pin, take better pics. no way it is the pin that holds the ejector and tensions the spring.

Ya good point. Ignore what I said.

Yes. It's definitely a roll pin. Upon closer inspection, I'm wondering if the original roll pin broke on disassembly and somehow I got half of it back. The roll pin that retains the striker was the first place I looked, but it's there.

HTOWN stunna · 11-06-2007, 05:04 PM

probably broken.

any4xx · 11-06-2007, 06:04 PM

Well shoot. I just examined it more closely and took a few measurements. It is a coiled roll pin instead of the split pin used for the striker retainer. And it's NOT a broken piece. It's 2.5mm in diameter and 8mm long. Ringing any bells here? Not for me. I'm wondering if it might be to another gun and the re-finisher put it in my pile by mistake.
