matteekay Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Hey all, I just installed a Springer Precision trigger kit and aluminum trigger in my 5.25" XDM. I fit the kit per the guidelines in their video and it passed all function checks while unloaded. I took it to the range for the first time tonight and was having intermittent striker reset issues. The gun would cycle and strip a new round every time but, about 20-30% of the time, the striker wouldn't reset and lock into place. I could correct it by partially racking the slide. I'm certain there's something I didn't fit or install right but I'm not sure what I should be looking at. Any thoughts are appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Check the roll pin, firing pin retaining pin, If you dry fire alot they will break,, also can get crudded up. After market solid pins are available. Might as well change it now anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteekay Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 Quick update: I talked to someone from Springer today (nice folks). The thought is either the sear is binding slightly or the trigger bar is dragging on the sear, preventing it from returning consistently and catching the striker. I don't think it's the former as the sear rattles freely when all springs are removed. The trigger bar idea might hold water, though. I checked the replacement bar against the factory one and the "hook" section that interfaces with the sear sits significantly prouder than factory bar when laid side-by-side. I thinned this area with a file and reinstalled the bar. I also put the factory weight sear spring back in - I can barely notice a difference when running the trigger and I'll take a little extra reliability wherever I can find it. I should be able to get back to the range in the next few days and I'll test it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteekay Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Further update: thinned out the trigger bar where it engages the sear and shot a few matches without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
