Today I purchased a new XDM .40 two-tone from Cabelas. I get the pistol home to switch out the backstrap before heading to the range. I tapped the role pin out with a punch and lifted off the backstrap. I noticed a crack where the pin is secured to the back of the frame/grip. It appears that the hole may have been two small for the pin -when the pin was first driven in.
This pretty much ruined my day... I took the pistol back to Cabelas. Cabelas was really good about it and offered to exchange for another XDM .40 Two-Tone. Cabelas offered to switch out the backstrap on the new pistol for me. As they tapped the pin out and lifted off the back strap there was a crack. I couldn't believe it.
Cabelas is sending my pistol and the other pistol back to Springfield. Hopefully, SA will repair/replace the frame quickly and correct this problem on future XDMs. I can honestly say I am a little skeptical about he quality going into these new XDMs.
Kudos go out to Cabelas for trying to make things right. For you guys getting new XDMs; check the backstrap pin hole for a crack where the pin is secured to the frame/grip.
