szhttm Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Be sure to perform a "cold" test before you complete the job. After you install it, you can place it in the freezer for 30 minutes or so and then dry fire to test it. The link below has discussions about how the cold could affect it: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=114837 Good Luck And Be Safe!!!

bigdawgbeav Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I went with the drop-in. Never did the freeze test. Didn't have to when one IDPA match was 30 degrees out. No problems with the trigger... can't say the same about my ammo feeding issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howa4au Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've put in 4 PR trigger kits and 2 were the drop in and none of mine passed the freezer test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowsSon683 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 OK so you cant really see the trigger kit (its hidden INSIDE the gun) but imagine that there are 2 more mags with the CC basepads laying there (they are in the mail or will be soon). Also has the Ice magwell. DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE GANGSTA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowsSon683 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 On another note, all im missing is something from Springer Precision to have a Frankenstein gun of the 3 major XDm guys on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidowsSon683 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 The trigger is awesome. I have not yet checked the weight but it breaks clean as glass. I had marked the trigger guard to measure the takeup of the stock trigger, now it takes up, fires and resets in that space. I went to a local range the other day and was doin some double taps and i saw one of the employees coming over and i knew they were gonna bi#%h about my "rapid" fire, so i dumped the whole mag in about 4 seconds just to pi$$ them off and left.

GreenDragon64 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I will be placing an order for that PRP ultimate match target trigger kit in a few weeks. I'm like an addict, I need that trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RescueYou Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I just got my XDm back from PRP and had a 3# Ultimate Match Trigger installed. I'm out banging out some rounds as we speak. What an amazing difference the trigger makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I just purchased my 2nd XDm 525 and sent it right off to Powder River for a Production Division work-up. This will be my gun for the USPSA Nationals this year. Can't wait to start breaking her in :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Put my order in with PRP for the Ultimate Match trigger for my XDM 5.25 9mm. I'm gettin ants in my pants waiting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Trigger came in today, I just put it in. It's a ridiculously short reset, light pull, and crisp break. I don't have enough material sanded off, the trigger breaks oh say about 1/1000th of an inch before the overtravel stop touches the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have enough material sanded off, the trigger breaks oh say about 1/1000th of an inch before the overtravel stop touches the frame. I am also looking pretty hard at this trigger. I have watched the videos numerous times already. How long did it take you to put it in? What sizes punches did you use (can't remember from the video)? My last question and this one is for anyone that has put one of these in. Small, big or huge improvement over the stock trigger? Or is it a must have????? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinc78 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I got a small cheap punch set and file kit from harbor freight. Then some sandpaper. It took me about 1.5-2 hours but I watched the video as I did it step by step and took my time. Don't rush it. I love my trigger, fixing to do another on my old mans gun he just picked up.

Thanks There is a night and day difference between the stock and the PRP Ultimate Match. The trigger sets and resets in a hair less than the space required for the stock trigger to reset. I actually used an Allen wrench to poke the pins out and when the trigger pins came up to bat I used a bigger Allen wrench with a touch of electrician's tape and a multitool as a hammer. I used those and sandpaper. When it worked the first time after installing it, I took the file included in the multitool to sand a little off for some breathing room due to the fact the trigger would be right up next to the frame when it would go off. Overall, it took me about 75-90 minutes all things considered. I'm taking it to the range tomorrow afternoon, will let you know if I turned my 5.25 9mm into a 19rd burst pistol on accident.

Shooter115 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Mine should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out once I get it installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter115 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Well I got my PRP Ultimate match trigger installed. About all I can say is it's only half the trigger it used to be. Half the pull weight, half the pull length and less than half the over-travel. It's pretty friggen sweet! There was some fitting involved, but nothing serious or difficult. My starting pull weight measured on a Lyman digital scale was 6lbs 10oz. Now it's 3lbs 4oz and barely even feels like a striker fired gun. Two thumbs up from this guy!!

swedge58 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) What did you have to do the most work on? Did you use sandpaper or file? If sandpaper what grit were you using? Going to order mine this Thursday did you (or any else above) order any other parts to help reduce the trigger pull weight? I asked this question down on the PRP site but I'm sure they are busy so I will ask it here. On there site is says the Ultimate match trigger comes with the reduced trigger spring but on their site they offer a competition trigger spring for 5.95. Is this the spring that comes in the kit or would this be an upgrade to reduce the trigger weight? Edited April 7, 2013 by swedge58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErichF Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Got my new XDm back from the Powder River Shop yesterday, and shot a Steel match with it today. Luv this new trigger, and this one was put in by PRP (I did my first XDm). 3# pull and it shoots like butter :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I was using 320 grit sandpaper, but I abandoned that in favor for a file after an hour in... The most frustrating part of the trigger install for me was the spring you have to defeat in order to take out and insert the takedown pin in order to access the trigger.

Is this the spring that comes in the kit or would this be an upgrade to reduce the trigger weight? I had to do some fitting on the sear for the grip safety and also take a touch off the side of the sear for it too rotate freely. You also have to fit the over-travel stop on the trigger itself. I used a combination of 180 and 320 sandpaper on an aluminum block and a stone for the work on the sear. I also polished up the sides with a Cratex wheel in the dremel. For the over-travel I just used sandpaper as it's only plastic. Fitting the over-travel took more time than anything. I was careful not to take too much off at once, so I bet I had that thing apart 5 times before I got it right. Then I did the freezer test (which is a must here in MN) and got to do it 2 more times. I was surprised at how much material had to be removed. Once done it was worth it though. Night and day difference from the stock trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
