Got pics of your ejector? - Page 3 - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

well, both of my guns are new, oldest one being a dec 07 (the 40 service) and my 40SC is a jan 08.

The 40 service has the fat ejector, and my 40 SC has the little one.

my SC "looks" like it has that same crack but i think its just a releif type cut when the metal gets bent over because i only have ~100-150 rounds through it.

Heres a photo of my XD45 Tactical. I bought this back in January at a gun show. The guy had two of these that were identical. One for $499 and one for $529. Nothing different. His explaination for the price difference was that the cheaper gun (the one I bought) was older stock that he had purchased at a cheaper price. It was all the same to me since they were completely identical. Either way, it may be possible that older models got the beafier ejector manufactured from a machined block of steel, while newer ones were manufactured from a piece of punched sheetmetal to cut down cost. Dont' know, just a guess.

Anyway, here's the photo:

I beleive the "new" version is stamped where the "old" version is either forged or MIM.

Just looked at mine, and it looks like the one on the right. I ordered it from SA, cause I wanted it with the Trijicons. It's only about 6 weeks old.

I have an xd9 service 4 inch. It was manufactured in dec. of 2004 and it looks like the one on the left of the first post of this thread.

Mines a XD9C from Oct 2007, mines looks like the one on the right.

Looks like some cost cutting. Hope it doesnt effect the reliability.

How old is your TACT?

OS

I bought it used. So I don't know for sure. None of the paperwork was in the kit.

That's funny, I have the exact same guns, bought right around the same time too, and mine are exactly the same. .40 service looks like the left, .40sc looks like the right.
