XD/XDM questions

Hi I am doing some research for my first 40 cal and I am very interested in the XD but I have searched the forum and still have a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with.

1. How do you decock the weapon?

2. To change sights requires a gunsmith (i.e. night sights etc)?

3. Does it come with the rail and ready to install a laser?

Thanks
Greg

I can only answer for the XDm, but you don't de-cock the weapon. You can remove the magazine and rack the slide to remove any ammo from the chamber, but unlike a Sig with a de-cocker...it doesn't have that. It does have an indicater that tells you when there is a round in the chamber, and another one that indicates when it is cocked.

To change the sights...yes, you need a gunsmith to do it right. I've not tried it, but they apparently are wedged in using a press.

The XDm does come with a rail under the front end, but I don't have anything on mine.

Good luck.

I have a light/laser combo (Insight M6x) on my XDm - no problems installing it and taking it off.

I would suggest the XDM amd hurry before Obama gets another gun ban passed. I'd get a 9mm and .40 with about ten mags each.

Decockers are for pistols with hammers. Find a nice guy on a local
gun forum with a sight pusher and offer to buy him lunch to switch
out your sights.
