Broke A Part On My XD-9....

[Rubber_Duck]

Hello everybody!

I celebrated Independence Day by spending an hour at the shooting range with a different kind of fireworks, and after getting home I noticed my 9mm XD was no longer showing whether the striker was cocked via the indicator. I did not have any malfunctions with the gun but after removing the rear tab of the slide and removing the striker spring and guide, it seems the part of the striker indicator the sticks out behind the slide had broken off while firing. Fortunately, the broken piece didn't find it's way into the inner workings of the gun and jam it up.

It's an easy fix, but I'm having a hard time locating a site that has the OEM part for sale. It seems silly to send the pistol back to SA for a small part swap.

Anybody know where I can buy one? The part is circled in the pic below.

And out of curiosity, is this very common? I've never heard of this part breaking.

Thanks in advance for any help.

And you were unable to get one from SA directly?

Call Springfield Armory's customer support at 800-680-6866.

I agree with Walker call Springfields customer service & ask if they will send you the part it's a win win.

 

[Rubber_Duck]

Thanks for the prompt responses, I will call them today (or tomorrow if they aren't open on Sundays) and see what they say.

That gun sure has a lot of springs.

 

[walker944]

Yeah, they are probably closed Sundays. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Call SA, chances are they will send you one for free.

As for the lots of springs, looks like its an all-purpose diagram for the 3" to the 5" model, which all have different recoil springs, and all are represented above.

possum, thanks for the link, I found the part for $6.00. But I will call SA first to see if they will send me one, since a free one would be even better. Thanks a lot!

I just got off the phone with SA, and their customer service is top-shelf. They will be sending me the new part free of charge.
