And who made that statement? Do a search and you will find that there are very few cases of broken roll pins. That said it is a part that can get a lot of abuse and is easy to change so many competitive shooters carry extras. In addition like any roll pin frequent removal with the wrong tool will create wear and loosen the pin's press fit. So if you plan on tearing your down a lot it would be a good idea to have a spare. I have had 6 or 7 XDs at one time or another and probably 20,000 rounds between them and I have never replaced a roll pin, I pretty sure I don't even have a spare right now.I have read that this has been a design challenge for the XD - they seem to break often.
Does anyone know if they addressed this in the XDm?
As a new XDm owner, should I get some of these as spares? Is it even the same part?
Man, just enjoy the damn gun and stop worrying about some of the BS you read on this (or any other) forum...I have read that this has been a design challenge for the XD - they seem to break often.
