gr7070 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) I have a buddy who shots some random matches and will shoot IDPA and USPSA. He wants an FO front and an adjustable rest from Dawson Precision. Do y'all have any recommendations? He also wants a trigger job which of the following options are the way to go: A. Trigger job on factory trigger B. Drop in trigger kit, no trigger job. C. Trigger kit with a trigger job. Lastly will any trigger kits affect being in IDPA SSP? Much thanks.

nitrohuck Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 From what I understand, changing the XDM front sight can be tougher than expected. It is really in there. Many people send their slides over to Dawson to have the job done because it gets pretty easy to mar the crap out of your xdm trying to get those sights out. I have the PRP drop in "extreme" trigger kit for my XDM 5.25" that I use in uspsa, it is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon64 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think that the PRP ultimate trigger kit moves you to ESP if I'm not mistaken. However, it's a super sweet trigger. If I would have known there was a new trigger coming out 2 weeks after I ordered mine, I would have waited because the PRP extreme kit looks awesome. Mainly because of the skeletonized internals.

JohnnyD Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Pretty sure all of the PRP triggers will move you to ESP. The kits include an aftermarket trigger that has a visable stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A and C are the only options for SSP as long as the "kit" uses the factory trigger. The sights are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could gather changing the front sight on an XDm requires a sight pusher due to the tight fit. I ordered the Fisher Solutions unit with all the blocks so I can do other sights in the future.I watched a demo video for the Fisher tool that clearly showed how much tighter the XD sights are. With other makes he held the tool in his hand, to do the XD he had to put the tool in a vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PR trigger will put you in ESP, but there's not much difference between ESP and SSP in terms of time required for classification. JD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikehoncho Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) The site says this. "This trigger is a Springfield Armory OEM part available on production XD and XDM pistols from the factory (see APPENDIX D4 21.6 Production Division Rules)." Is that accurate? Edit: Does this still put the gun in esp? Edited August 20, 2014 by mikehoncho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I remove XDm front sights by cutting 2/3rds the way through with a cutting wheel, in my Dremel. Then, they are easily tapped out with no damage to the slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdlincoln Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 And, you can't use the USPSA rulebook for IDPA. ESP. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
