xd recoil spring assembly

[45 ACP]

hi everyone, I just got an xd pistol and i'm wondering if there is a way to disassemble the recoil spring assembly, is it captive, non-captive?, I really dont need to change the springs right now since the gun is brand new but the info will be needed in the future. thanks in advance.

Which one. The 4" service model is captive.
Do not disassemble it.

I have a service and a subcompact, they are all captive as far as I know.

yeah, it's the 4" model 9 mm bi-tone and if the assembly is captive that means I'm screwed because I dont think there is a site on the web where I could get one of those or, is there a place you guys know of where I can get one? the reason why I'm insisting on this matter is because i plan to use the gun a lot so sooner or later I'll need to change the recoil spring

Call Springfield. tell them it's broke. they will send you one free. they did for me.

why do you need to disasemble it anyway ?

that sounds like a plan, but won't they ask you to return the broken one?

thats the only way to change the recoil spring or if I could buy the whole assembly.
