Trigger for your XD?

[Zspicy]

So birthday is coming up, I have a xd tactical I use for competing currently. I'm looking at upgrading the trigger and could use some input. Anybody have experience or recommendations for anything? I've looked into Springer precision and Powder river precision, about the same price, seem to do the same thing. Any input is appreciated.

Not for competition but I had the Carry Package done by Springfield Custom a few years ago. Springfield also do the competition jobs. Never liked the stock trigger on the XD45. Enjoy shooting the XD45 after the trigger job.

I did the PRP trigger on my XMD and I liked it but it is not as good as a trigger done by Springer. They do great competition triggers IMO.

I can only speak for PR. Powder River Competition trigger is an easy install, improves pull weight and trigger reset. Springfield uses the Powder River Trigger as factory equipment in its 5.25" XD(m) Comp series pistols.

"Our trigger is a Springfield Armory OEM part available on several production XD and XDM pistols from the factory. Springfield part #'s:
XCM9131 "XDM custom competition model"
XC9131 "XD custom competition model"
XCM9121 "XDM production""

PRP seems to be the standard go to. I put a springer precision kit in my xd tactical that I'm pretty happy with. Fitting the trigger bar is a PITA, but if done right you can nearly eliminate over travel. I will probably try a PRP in one of my other XD's though.

So you sent the whole gun and had it installed by springer?

I did the PRP trigger myself and yes, it is a good competition trigger. I had found that after about 2-3000 rounds, I started getting light primer strikes. Normally, you can just replace the springs but I had a hard time getting PRP to answer the phone and direct me toward purchasing the right replacement springs. I ended up ordering a replacement spring kit but it was very difficult to determine what was for competition. After guessing on the springs, I ended up with a heavier trigger and am not too happy about it.

That being said, if I could find the right springs to replace the ones I shot out, I would be a happy customer again.

Sent mine in to Springer for a 3lb w over travel stop on the back end of the shoe. Thing breaks like glass. It's not 1911 clean but it's dam close for a Tupperware piece!

I did a PRP ultimate match trigger kit on my XDM 525 and it is a huge difference from the stock trigger, and the stock one wasn't that bad either.

I want to do another trigger kit on my XD9 as that one feels like mush compared to the PRP 525, but I use the XD9 as a CCW and do not want to make it too nice that I won't want to carry it. For that reason, I don't mind a trigger that takes a little more dedication to make it go bang.

The PRP does take a little bit of reading, and a bit of youtubing, but if you can handle the do-it-yourself kinda stuff, it wasn't that hard. And once you're done, you really know how to strip and assemble your pistol. Just do a little bit at a time until it feels great, then stop. You'll like it

I had Canyon Creek do the triggers in my XD9 Tacticals. Great triggers on both of them.

I put a PRP Ultimate Match Target Trigger Kit into my XD45 Tactical. Half the cost and got me to 85-90% of the feel of a full-blown trigger job by a gunsmith.

Thanks for all the input guys, gonna go with the PRP.

My xd9 has a Powder River and I love it.

PRP.
Its an easy drop in.
You may have to do some filing of the overtravel stop but its an easy work.

I did the PRP on my competition XDM 9mm. Big improvement over the stock trigger. Some fitting required and a little pricey I thought @ 135.00 for the parts kit.

How did it turn out? I plan on sending my xd to them for the same package. Would you do it again?
