Last night I picked up a new in box XDM9 4.5 and now I'm trying to learn about the critter. I've only had half a box of ammo down the pipe but that went well. It was late and getting dark.
I've dry fired it a few times, well, less than 100 times and meant to pick up some snap caps on the way home.
So I did a bit of reading to see how well this firearm holds up with dry firing and and ran into a monster retaining pin thread that after 6 pages, I gave up on since it looked like a p*ss*ng contest.
I'm going to get some snap caps tomorrow or set it on the shelf until I have them. The concern now is did I do damage to that roll pin already.
Is there a better roll pin?
Did the factory fix the problem with a stronger roll pin?
How do you replace the pin?
Is a spiral pin better?
If the pin breaks will the gun still shoot?
Thanks,
Szumi
