be careful
It is well know that some XD rear sight are extremely tight. Mine was very difficult to remove and that did not make the new rear sight easy to install. It started very easy and then began to get very tight when it was about half way in. Because Burris uses aluminum for the new dovetail base, it bent and deformed after the fit became tight. I'm going to try another, but if this base bends, then I'm going to have to try an integral base that does not have a separate dovetail.
