ah141nj 0 Posted June 11, 2012 Took my XD 45 apart. Having trouble getting it back together. The slide is stuck open & the trigger doesn't dry fire. Cant release the slide. Any recommendation for a gunsmith. Live in the Bridgewater area, work in the Nutley area if that helps. Glocks are so much easier! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
siderman 1,138 Posted June 11, 2012 maybe the guide rod got jambed. do a google search i remember seeing do it yourself fixes for it. but by all means take to a smith if you dont feel its something you are comfortable with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted June 11, 2012 The grip safety needs to be depressed for the slide to be moved rearwards. It looks like you left it out and installed the slide anyway. I'll give you $100 for the broken piece of crap Service model Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ah141nj 0 Posted June 11, 2012 I pulled out al the pins including the grip safety afterwoods. Now its really stuck. Why would you want a piece of shit like an xd? i was looking for help...not insults. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeyboyeee 66 Posted June 11, 2012 I dont think he was insulting you. I think he was being sarcastic with the piece of crap line and goofing u into selling a gun he likes for dirt cheap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hd2000fxdl 422 Posted June 11, 2012 Lol. It was a joke as I see it and don't see how anyone would take it otherwise. Don't know the answer to your problem but have you looked at any YouTube videos of full tear downs and how to put it back together. A lot of times there is a simple trick to make things go back together and in their right position for the next part. Think of MK III field strip and reassembly.
