PistolGear "Slam Pads" for XD

Yeah thats what I thought too, so I tried that a few times, loosing the screws and tapping it down flush with a plastic mallet then tighten the screws back, but everytime I tightened the screws down it would creep back up so after doing that 3 times I said screw it and grinded the clips down. I do believe though that you are right, if it was closer to the gun the clearance would not be much of any issue. But I really like the part and hats off to the R&D that went into it.

Keep in mind that the plug will cam therefore you don't need to torque down the screws. Only turn them until the magwell is snug, before the magwell backs off the frame. Another trick is to put the gun on a table, resting it on te top of the slide. Push the magwell down onto the gun while turning the screws.

Once tight, you will be happier.
