gunner40sw Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I have a new 5.25 9mm XDM and I love it but I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it a tack driver like my custom built STI pistols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg in VA Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) Better trigger and some load development, Mine shoots under 3" at fifty yards. To me it seemed that length was a major thing in better groups. Edited November 3, 2012 by Greg in VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINMAN44 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 In my opinion. Powder River Precision does the sweetest 2.5lb trigger job around. Daniel, the owner is a wonderful man to work with. His extended ejector is by far amazing. Check them out! Robby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teck88 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I recently had Rich at Canyon Creek do a 2# trigger on my XDM and I love it. Honestly I was not to happy with the gun or the trigger until I got it back from Rich. I can't believe the difference the trigger job has made. It use to shoot low left for me and that now totally went away. I have let a few people shoot it and a few others dry fire it and they were also amazed.

Red Ryder Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Better trigger and some load development, Mine shoots under 3" at fifty yards. To me it seemed that length was a major thing in better groups. I had the same experience with OAL. 1.135 sucked. 1.150 to 1.155 was way more accurate. 147 grain MG CMJ with Titegroup grouped high left and wild! My most accurate load for my XDM 9 is 124 Grain MG CMJ with 4.2 grains VV N320 @ 1.155. Springer Precision did my 3lb trigger job perfectly.

gunner40sw Posted November 22, 2012 Author Share Posted November 22, 2012 Red Ryder How is the recoil on your 124 Grain MG CMJ with 4.2 grains VV N320 @ 1.155. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Ryder Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 What recoil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgr2 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I called Powder River last Monday for a full blown 5.25 in 9mm and they called me Friday and told me it was ready to ship. If there is a problem with accuracy I bet it will have more the operator than the pistol if its like the 40 they did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner40sw Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I droped it off with Jasson Chambless at the Springfield custom shop and asked them to do their competition triger job, new fiber optic front sight, new hand fited match grade barrell and a extended mag release.

eric nielsen Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Trigger. In-house trigger job if you can afford it. After being spoiled by a Scott Springer 34oz trigger on my friend's XDm, I picked up an out-of-the-box XDm 5.25 and (best guess) it broke at 6 or 7 pounds. New gun store (loaded with Springfield Armory gear) about 3 minutes from my house. Hmmm - do I need a new M1A just like the M14 i carried in the Navy? Probably not. Want one? Yes.

moonshoxx Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Tungsten guide rod to add some weight. A lighter recoil spring and drop in powder river trigger has made my money on the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdog Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Better trigger and some load development, Mine shoots under 3" at fifty yards. To me it seemed that length was a major thing in better groups. Would you mind telling us your load data for a round that will do 3 inches at 50 yards. That is something I would like to see. zdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdog Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I have a new 5.25 9mm XDM and I love it but I was just wondering if there is anything I can do to make it a tack driver like my custom built STI pistols Check my topic on this board about XDm barrel lock up mystery. There was an attachment on the email I received from Springfield that listed their prices to install a match barrel or refit your existing barrel for better accuracy. I am not happy with the accuracy on my 5.25 9mm. zdog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
