I'm trying to remove the roll pin that holds the striker assembly in my XD9 Mod.2 Sub-Compact and it just won't come out. I am using a 3/32" roll pin punch, as prescribed everywhere I've read and been told. I have a set of new pins, so I don't care about breaking the factory pin, just concerned with damaging anything else. I can get the pin ~1/16" clear of the top of the slide and the punch feels like it forces its way into the center of the pin and gets stuck. I'm too hard headed to take it to a gunsmith, just extremely frustrated because every video shows the pin coming out just like every other pin in the XD.... Any advice is greatly appreciated!
