Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - XD Grip safety started sticking
Posted: 2/13/2006 8:58:32 AM EDT
Got home after shooting this weekend, and my grip safety is catching.  It actually does not feel like a stick, it feels like there is some sort of catch that is not letting it pop back out.  When I push it in, it will stay in unless i use my fingernails to pop it out.
Anyone experienced this before? Suggestions?

Is there still spring tention? If there is then the pin that holds the assembly in place has just been moved to the right or left. When you take the frame apart you have to push the pin in from right to left but only enough where the grip safety spring catches and rides in the pins groove. If you push it too much or not enough it gives the grip safety a sticky or mushy feeling.

Yeah the tension is still there, it just catches.  I am going to take down the back end and clean everything real good, and I think while I am at it I will polish the barrel to a shiny finish
