JerZSquid Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have an XDm 5.25 .40 cal and would like to improve its mushy trigger. I have previously owned the 4.5 XDm and don't remember it being as bad as my 5.25. Is there anywhere I can send my gun to improve this that has a decent turnaround time. I don't need this gun tomorrow or anything but I don't like sending my guns off somewhere for 6-8 months either. I'm not a high speed, low drag operator wannabe or someone who will be competing for a living either. I just appreciate a good trigger and like to maximize my firearms potential. Any suggestions or personal experiences are welcomed. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dover0020 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Send it to Canyon Creek. Richard Dettelhouser does amazing trigger work on 5.25. You won't be disappointed. http://www.canyoncreekcustom.com/Home_Page.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naka16 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Springer precision does good work as well, and his customer service is great. I'm sure all 3 of the xd experts do good work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I recently sent my 5.25 .45 ACP to Scott at Springer Precision and had gun back in around 10 days. Recommend highly-great trigger job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnapper Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Powder River Precision drop-in trigger is a great upgrade for $125.00 dollars. I've done all 3 of my XDm's and the kit functions flawlessly. Self install (easy) if you have basic mechanical ability and the proper tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
practical_man Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Another vote for Springer Precision. Scott did mine with a short turn around and it turned out great! I normally do my own work but have zero experience with the XDm platform and am unlikely to buy more than one so I hired a professional. Easier and cheaper than fussing with one of the aftermarket kits, at least this time. If I ever feel the need for another XDm I might take the plunge and try it myself with Springer precision or another parts kit. I am very happy with the springer precision work and would use them again. Great work and great customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerZSquid Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks for all the advice guys. I'll probably be in contact with SP before the end of next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon64 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Powder River has great trigger kits. I put in the ultimate match in my 5.25 and love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonandMichelle Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I recently installed the Powder River Ultimate Match Trigger Kit. I love it. I don't know anything different, but it made a huge difference! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdawgbeav Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 PRP Drop-in. Installed in 30 minutes. Still using the stock striker spring, down to 3.5lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdmjohn Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I put the PRP ultimate match in both of my 5.25s and love them.Having said that I could only imagine how good the big 3 could do if i sent them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What's the lightest custom trigger that CC or SP can crank out without changing the striker and recoil spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpeltier Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What's the lightest custom trigger that CC or SP can crank out without changing the striker and recoil spring? Not sure how low CC or SP would get it for you but I used the Ultimate trigger kit with a bit of my own careful polishing and tweaking and my XDM 5.25 is right at 2.75lbs. It retains the factory striker and recoil spring. The striker spring however is I believe a slightly reduced power spring but have not had a soft primer hit even with some wolf primers I have in some old practice ammo I used up.

I have 4 PRP triggers that I put in myself. The lightest of the 3 is around 3lbs. I was just wondering how a custom CC or SP compared.

Dacsoft Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I have guns with trigger work from Powder River Precision and Springer Precision, and both are fantastic. To find out more give them a call or email. They are both great at communication. I have also installed 3 of the PRP a ultimate Trigger kits with great results. It just depends how low you want to go and if you want to do it yourself. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 What's the lightest custom trigger that CC or SP can crank out without changing the striker and recoil spring? 2.5#'s, or a tad lighter. We use the factory striker spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
