Springfield XDs 9mm Night Sight ?

[matai]

I just purchased a Springfield XDs 9mm. I was reading online that the Meprolight Tru-Dots for the XD work for the XDs as well. Can anybody verify that? Also, does anybody know any shops that I could send the slide to to have them installed?

Thanks

According to Chris Rumbold at Kimber, the sole importer for Meprolight, you need the ML11420 for the XDS

So Chris sent me this:

"Thanks for contacting us. At this time we do not make night sights for the XDs.

But, when I look at the ML11410 on Amazon, people say it fits the XDS perfectly:

When I look at the ML11420, someone said it didn't fit the XDS:

I sent my XDSC slide to the folks below for installation of Trijicon night sights I already had (pleased with their service / prices):

I shipped in a $4.95 USPS Priority Mail box (2-12-10, but Priority Mail has probably gone up a few bucks?), but paid extra for $200 insurance and confirmation receipt-total shipping around $8.

Total cost for shipping and installation was around $30.

Some XD sights can be a real bear to remove - I had access to a SIG Sight Tool (did it myself on my P229R), but decided not to chance it on the XDSC after eyeballing it in the tool.
