XDS PRP trigger kit vs. spring kit

[TWN495]

Anyone out there have the full trigger kit from PRP installed in their XDS? I've been waiting for it to come back in stock, but the kit with just the springs is in stock and I've read good things about them. I'm just trying to figure out if the new sear is worth buying or if I'd be happy with just the springs. My XDS is for carrying, so I don't think I'd want a real light hair trigger so if that's what the new sear would give me then maybe I should avoid it....

I'm interested too, galloway also sells a sear and spring kit. What are the differences? I thought the sear was just supposed to lighten the trigger a tad, and make the pull slightly shorter?

I just installed the kit with the sear on my XDS, haven't shot it yet, hard to find time right now, hopefully will get to the range with it in mid January. Dry firing it I can say that the takeup still feels a bit spungy although better, but the break is much crisper now. Hoping it will get even better with use.

Very curious, keep us posted

was the take-up as long? I've fired mine and the first pull seemed long and heavy. After that first shot when working the reset it wasn't that bad, but still seemed heavy. I'd like to see a couple lbs taken off the pull and a shortened take-up. I wasn't too disappointed otherwise with the trigger for a carry gun...

Just a FYI, I see you are in OC and if you were planning on putting this on your CCW, I was advised by my class instructor NOT to modify the trigger on a carry gun. He refused to qualify anyone with trigger modifications. His reasoning was mostly legal implications for the person carrying the modified gun should it have to be used.

[TWN495]

another reason why I might lean toward just swapping the springs out. I know it's a gray area and there hasn't been a case deciding one way or another on what is acceptable. The way I read OC's rules was that the gun should not be altered AFTER being qualified. My instructor didn't make mention of it at all, and I would tend to think that a good shoot is a good shoot. In fact, a trigger that makes my gun easier to handle and more accurate should make for a safer scenario if I am less likely to miss my intended target. You're probably right though, and definitely erring on the side of safety...

Well it is not illegal to carry a gun with a modified trigger. The way my instructor explained it, is that a prosecutor may use the fact that you modified the trigger against you. A civil attorney will definitely use it against you, and yes it was explained to me that even if a prosecutor drops all charges against you, the family or the person who may have survived your good shoot can still take you to civil court.

BS

Some counties prohibit modifying your CCW gun beyond sights or grips and state that in the application. There aren't any legal ramifications to modifying your gun though. A good shot is a good shot whether you have a 3.5lb trigger or a 8lb trigger.

[TWN495]

that is true, and probably likely that I or anyone else would be sued in civil court no matter what. I would be willing to bet that they would not only sue for a modified trigger, but also the fact that I have HP's in my gun which are designed to be more effective at injuring/killing people too.

Not too clear on what jonzer is calling bs on but its not that you would be sued for the trigger, it is something that could be used against you if they proceeded with a case.

How to minimize the chances of getting into a case was a whole other topic.

Your entire statement is BS. Please cite actual cases were modifying a gun was used against that person.

No case law exists for this scenario.

This is an Internet myth started by M. Ayoob.

Back to topic. I love my PRP spring kit. Trigger drastically improved over stock. I also polished the internals as well.

OK, sorry guys my intent was to share what I learned in one of our county's (mine and OP) approved classes, which sounded like it made sense to me. I wasn't trying make it up or spread stuff or repeat internet rumors. So no I can't cite anything.

Sorry for de railing your thread...just genuinely trying to be helpful.

So don't tell him it is modified? This kit isn't going to drop the trigger from 7 to 2 lbs...
