I am looking to replace the standard sights on my XD .45 with a good set of night sights. Anyone have suggestions on a reliable website to order from? Are they hard to install? Will I have to ship the slide back to Springfield for installation? If not and I use a gunsmith will it void the warranty?

Use the search, I put a Dawson Precision red fiber optic front on my XD9, removing the original was a PITA. Don't plan on doing it yourself without reading that thread first.

And if you can't find them specifically for the XD, keep in mind that Sig P226 sights are the same dovetail as the XD.

I've become a real fan of the XS 24/7 system, especially with advancing age and declining visual acuity. I've never used anything as fast to acquire a usable sight picture with in poor light. There is an option for a smaller "standard" dot for increased precision at longer ranges.
While I'm not real familiar with exactly how the XD's sights are secured, I installed them on my own Para C7.45 LDA with no particular trouble. If your front is pinned in its dovetail, a roll pin punch of the proper diameter would be a must. If you've got a bench vise, are relatively handy, and exercise care it should be a viable DIY.

XD sights come installed two ways. Either normally, or by the 800 lb. Springfield Gorilla. Some pop right out, others have broken sight pushers on them.

I'm fairly sure that the sights are designed to be pressed out only in one direction. (which way that is I am at a momentary loss to remember)
And from what I've heard, even going in the correct direction can be a very exasperating ordeal.

Zeke Menuar,
Thanks so much for the referal to springerprecision. I just contacted Scott and I think I am going to send my XD over to him for night sights and a custom trigger job. I would have never found this info had it not been for you and everyone here at THR. Thanks again!
