The pins on my .40 service all red.the grip safety pin 9mm tactical is red also.

You can get OEM pins and other parts at the online store at xdguys.com for no more than a few dollars. I've also seen OEM parts at pistolgear.com. To keep them from rusting, you can punch them out, clean them well, and lube with oil.

Quite easy. All you really need is a punch set to punch out the pins, and maybe the guides from xd-hs2000.com.

Well brass punches were hard for me to find locally so I got a set of steel punches from a local auto store. For the guides, check the FAQ subforum with a lot of stickies.
