Custom Shop told me the same thing about tapping it hard,,I explained it would crack the tritium insert and my (glow in the dark would leak out) Well I did ,,It did, and they told me I was on my own after they told me to go ahead and tap it they would stand behind replacement if it leaked out.
So I was out of the XD business by end of day. Just my experience I did like the gun other than that.

Springfield XD's have a reputation of being very hard to move the rear sight. I know of a few a few shops that have ruined there tool trying to move them or refuse to change sights on XD's. Just talked with someone from B & J tool and he gave me a tip they use with their sight adjuster tool(is an awesome sight tool). They recomend getting the pin right on the rear sight with alittle pressure then hitting it with a good weight hammer to break it loose.

Shipping costs would be all I would ask (reply)

I do need to see if I have them lined up laterally but that will take some shooting to figure out. The sight is noticeably taller even just looking down the sights.

No expert but from what I have read XDMs are a lot harder to (reply)

Depending on what Springfield tells me on my XDs, I might want to rent that sight pusher from you...if you are willing.

Sight pusher worked like a charm. I had no trouble at all switching out sights. I think the key is they push right to left as you look down the sights. Most are the opposite. I used the one from www.sightpusher.com. Cost me around $60 but it was well worth it.
