drysideshooter Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Which company would any of you recommend for a trigger job, Canyon Creek or Springer? One shooter I talked with at a a USPSA event last weekend had a Springer trigger job done on his XD and he said he was going to have his sons done by Canyon Creek. He said that he had shot a XD like his with a Canyon Creek trigger job done and he said he thought it felt better than his Springer. That is only one guys opinion though. I would be interested in knowing what the collective here thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I had Springer do my trigger job on my XDm .40 and am very happy with it. I have also shot an XD .40 with a Canyon Creek trigger job and honestly couldn't tell the difference between the two. Of course, YMMV. I don't know whether time is a consideration or not. Springer helps pay the shipping costs. He received my XDm on a Friday and shipped it back to me on Tuesday-great turnaround time. Others can comment on the turnaround time for Canyon Creek. You probably couldn't go wrong with either one!!! Edited March 23, 2010 by The_Vigilante Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drysideshooter Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Thanks. I think I will let turnaround time be the deciding factor then. It sounds like turnaround might be faster from Springer. I sent an email to Canyon Creek asking about turnaround time but didn't hear anything back. Might be another reason to go with Springer.

RIIID Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 An e-mail would be returned if it was received. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD Niner Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I had Rich do both of my XD's and couldn't be happier. I'm sure that Springer would do a great job too. No matter which way you go, the difference in the XD trigger will be no less than amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I have only dealt with Springer on assorted projects and can honestly state that the customer service is outstanding. Quick turnaround time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Canyon Creek. Wouldn't hesitate if I were you. Scott Springer does magic too. Marty Kolodziej (pronounced Kowagee) at Accuracy Speaks in Mesa, AZ does a kick ass XD trigger according to TGO. But what the heII does he know.

drysideshooter Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 From everything I've read, folks are pleased with both places. I will find out what turnaround time will be and let that be the deciding factor. Thanks for all of the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-man Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Just to throw another name in the mix, check out Powder River Precision. He's got some awesome XD trigger jobs and parts for the XD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drysideshooter Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 I have been to both websites but never paid any attention to where Springer was located. I just realized that they are in Bend, OR. I live in eastern Washington and Bend is only a couple hours away. I am down that way a fair amount. I think I will contact them and see if it would be possible to drop off a gun when I'm down there and pick it up on my way back through or something.

The_Vigilante Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds like a winner-you will avoid the costly overnight shipping charges both ways!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salilus Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I used springer for my trigger job on my XD-40 Tac. He called me the day after I shipped it to him and asked what games I shoot. At the time it was primarily IDPA. He just wanted to let me know that the grip tape I had under the trigger guard would bump me to open if I was shooting USPSA. I was happily surprised and loved the customer service. Oh yea, and the trigger is fantastic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Scott Springer did an awesome job on my XD. I also had him change out the guide. He was fantastic!. Turned my gun around in time to shoot Nationals. I had only shot Production for a total of maybe 300 rounds before Scott's trigger job. And 100 after it, just prior to Nationals. It was amazing how good it was for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hueycrew Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Rich at Canyon Creek. Good turn around time. High quality. I now love my XD9 Tactical. The pistol is so quick its scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdschappell Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I used Powder River Precision target match trigger parts and did it myself. Not difficult to install and much improved over stock. Relatively inexpensive too. Any do-it-yourselfers may want to look in this direction as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bshooter Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Canyon Creek is my vote. I have both XD9 and XD40 tacticals with Rich's trigger work. Outstanding! I have had people tell me they feel like 1911 triggers. Couldn't be happier. Bshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Another vote for Canyon Creek. I have five XD's with Rich's handiwork. All excellent! Rich is a great person,too. Edited March 31, 2010 by Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
