Springfield Armory XD/XDM Pistols Final Test Quiz Questions

I am semi-retired and I am taking a self-passed and self-taught Armorers course and now I am on the Springfield Armory XD/XDM Pistols. I hope to become a part-time light Gunsmith in the future.

There are over 60 quiz questions covering this firearm and I have answered most of them. During my study and research I am having some problems related to some of the following quiz questions. Either I am not sure of the correct answer or I have conflicting answers.

Can you help me determine the correct answers for these few final 5 quiz questions? Please correct my wrong answers!

Thanks for your help.

#40: I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that a captive spring is one in which the spring and guide rod are one part, and a not-captive spring is one in which the spring and guide rod are separate, where they come apart easily upon breakdown. If this is correct, then the XDm full size models do not have a captive spring, and the XDm 3.8" models do.

#42 and 43 can probably be found by comparing the parts list in the manuals.

Hoppy,

When you, with every forum's help, upon which you have posted, graduate and become a gunsmith, will you then seek the many forum's help in working on guns?

If so, I propose that you cut us all in for a percentage of your profits.

Mike

When you, with every forum's help, upon which you have posted, graduate and become a gunsmith...

Now there is an excellent question that any self-taught self-passed "light gunsmith" will be able to answer without assistance!
