Is the chamber indicator giving you any problem? I sent my slide to have it refinished, and the guy who is doing it told me that the chamber indicator was lighty bent, Is that possible, I did not notice that before, and haven´t had any problems with the gun before.
Do you know where can I get one....?

Call Springfield, they will probably send you one for free.

Lightly bended? How? It would take a LOT of force to bend it.

I have no idea.. that´s is what the guy said when he took it apart.

 

[The DRis]

You mean bent?

If you can't get one from SA, you can buy the Indicator (and spring and pin of necessary) here: PISTOLGEAR | XD HOLSTER, MAGAZINES AND MORE

 

[Joeywhat]

Was there anything wrong with it to begin with?

Sounds like the guy ether doesn't know what he's doing, or he bent it himself. Just ask him to put it all back together just like it came and see if it's still "bent".

My 45acp tactical's indicator was sticking in the loaded position after it's 500rnd break in. I pulled it apart and cleaned all the gunk that had accumulated on it, under it and around it, reassembled and it works fine now. After seeing the assembly I can't hardly imagine how it would get bent.

I can't imagine how it would get bent without a lot of force on it. I would rather think it needs cleaned well, or the guy that is refinishing it messed something up. I would want to see the slide and indicator before I did anything else to verify for myself.

yeah its such a small peice I would think it would take some pretty serious trying to bend that thing.

 

[sourpatch45]

you might be able to bend it with a punch and a hammer but dang . i cant think of one way for that to happen on accident.

 

[gunsaddict]

I straightened things up with him.....it is not the loaded chamber indicator, it is the striker indicator.

 

[Reborn]

Even the striker indicator would not bend on its own through normal use. That guy had to have done it.

Possible it happened during shipping ...

Having shipped thousands of XD's, I'd say no, and they can break of the base, but bending IS an odd one, as they ride in a plastic bushing and simply go forward and back, so there is no pressure to bend it when installed.

 

[ThumperMX113]

Maybe the thing isn't even bent and he's just trying to exploit more money out of his customer. :lol:

 

[gunsaddict]

I do not know exactly what or how it happened I'm not a gunsmith but it sounded weird to me too,the gun is three months old, how it happened????.........is he making it ?...but yesterday after 20 days and nothing done on the gun I told him to send me the gun back and refund the money..
