I have had an XD-9 SC for a few years, and the front sight now will move after a few mags through it. I was just wondering if this is common, and if it can be fixed without new sights. Thanks
That is good to know. If that is the the way this forum is, I doubt I want much part of it. Thanks for the input. I will just order some night sights, and try my hand at installing them. If I do screw it up I just got an xdm .45 yesterday so I will still have a shooter.Like you, when I posted my experience on this forum I was a relatively new member, and there was some feedback that I was here only to troll. Unfortunately, my first contribution was partly negative in nature, but, hey, that's the way it goes.
Sorry, I didn't mean to create that impression. In fact, this forum is a clearinghouse for some of the best information from some of the most experienced XD shooters out there. My intent for that comment was to try to run point for you and your comment, as with the significant increase in readership of this forum in recent history, there have been a commensurate number of folks showing up just trying to stir the pot without contributing anything.That is good to know.

I hope my new XD is not the 1 in 1000...at this point, they seem very secure.99.9% of all XD`s have "tight" dovetails. It is possible to have a loose one. About once a month I get one that practically falls out,.....
Thats kinda what I was thinking. Any loctite would probably be a bear to clean out of the dove tail later, I would guess. I was also thinking about center punching each side of the sight ever so slightly. I would think that would expand it enough to keep it in place, as I doubt it would take much.red loctite would be a nogo on firearm applications. The heat required to remove anything that it is used on will destroy the firearms finish.
