Trigger Job for XD

[tizzo]

I was wondering if anyone knew of or could recommend someone locally that could perform a trigger work on an XD9.

Thanks

Send it to canyon creek and be done with it.

Buy the kit of your choice and take it to Ryan at Bill's Gun Shop. Quicker and cheaper than sending it out.

I'm trying to remember the name of the guy who used to bring an XD to the steel shoots...friend of Ryan's if I recall. It was the only XD I've ever handled that had a decent trigger. Most of the loooooong reset those guns have was just plain gone. Really nicely done. If I were interested in and had an XD that's the first thing I would do to it.

Paul Grundhauser does a great job and is local. If you shoot USPSA you most likely know Paul. Great guy.

Send it to Canyon Creek. They have custom parts and they know what they are doing. My XD trigger is identical to my open gun.

Powder River Precision and Springer Precision are two of the favorites over on XD Talk. If you are mechanically inclined there are how to videos for the PRP products and both of them have great customer service. You can send it to either as well and both have rave reviews on the board.

You must have an awful trigger on that open gun if your XD feels the same.

I've shot XD's with triggers from Canyon and others, they were all a huge improvement over the stock setup. Alomost as good as an M&P out of the box. But in no way were they ever close to my open gun or even as good as my single stack.

I have both triggers on guns.
Being a HVAC/Major appliance tech, I am reasonably confortable with my mechanical skills, but,
I could not do the installs for the $20/ gun or so I paid to have them done.

And as mmcnx2 posted, the end result with any of the kits is better, much better than stock, but nothing close the '4# glass rod break' of a good 1911.

And as far as 'great customer service': I got one of Powder River's latest kits when they first introduced them in Sept. Shortly thereafter, I attempted to buy a second kit, but they've been " unavailable" every time I've checked since, and my requested notification of availability has yet to occur.

And as a bit of an aside, if anyone is tempted to do business with XD guys, for trigger kits, or whatever- do some research first. It's been a while, maybe they've worked things out, but I had some serious fulfillment issues, dealt with by zero communications from them for several weeks before it got resolved. During that time I believe, XD Talk dropped them as an advertiser as well. Caveat Emptor.

I agree with monschman. Canyon Creek is the way to go for an XD. The 45 I have was done by them and is fantastic.

It's been almost a year since I've been on XD Talk for any length of time. I wasn't aware that Powder River Precision had put out a new kit. The "great customer service" that I was refering to were the numerous posts of the owner talking people through the install on thier firearms. At the time there wern't too many people complaining about either company.

Matt, you have more than 2 pistols?

I don't frequent XDTalk myself. There's far less 'signal-to-noise-ratio' than found here.

I don't intend that Powder River is a bad company, and I too have read great things about them. They do have how-to videos on some stuff, and availed themselves to my pre-purchase questions. And while I haven't contacted them as to why a highly touted, new product suddenly becomes unavailable, it makes me wonder a bit when it's a trigger kit I have on one of my guns. I can't believe my name hasn't got to the top of a waiting list after 3mos.
This came out in early Sept:
PRP ULTIMATE MATCH TARGET XD TRIGGER KIT
I don't believe the (un)availability has changed since I purchased one of the first kits in Sept.

As to XDGuys: on XDTalk, there were numerous postings about non-deliveries, unreturned phone calls, and unanswered emails- none of which I was aware of when I ordered from them, and then pretty much had the same experience for 2 weeks plus. When I finally talked to a women on the phone- I believe the wife of one of the principals, I was told they were experiencing growing pains, by getting too big, too fast. They did ultimately refund what I had been charged, and they too said they'd notify me when the merchandise was again available. (I just double-checked my calendar)- that was on 7 Oct.

For what it's worth, I put a Springer Precision trigger kit in my XD45 and am very happy with the results. It was easy to install as well.
