00bullitt Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Is there any info that anyone can share about doing a trigger job on an XD? I am very capable to do it myself.....just looking for info before I learn how on my own. I know Rich at Canyon Creek does a fantastic job,but I don't want to send it out and want to do it myself. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Not a direct answer but you might try over at the XD Forum (http://www.xdtalk.com), I'm pretty sure I've see this discussed over there more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R/T Performance Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 (edited) Be carefull and good luck. I rather pay I am capible but there is allot risk involved if you damage the trigger bar good luck finding another. I think Loves to shoot aka Spring precsion offer to mod you parts for a drop in trigger job Edited February 15, 2007 by R/T Performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyhunter Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Isn't that the gun you can't buy spare parts for? If they ever start selling parts, I might buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll have sears, sear spring and trigger return springs VERY soon... If they sell, we'll tackle more parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 oooooh; cool! I might have found my next production gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberneck Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Anyone know what happened to the after market parts that Barsto was going to make for the XD. IIRC a couple years ago there was several lengthy threads on the XD forum by someone at Barsto saying that they were due out any day. Frankly, while I love Springfield I think their policy on spare parts is for the birds and one of the main reasons why I haven't bought another since my first one crapped out repeatedly.

Chuck Merriam Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just did my xd9 tactical the other day. It had a 7 to 8 pound pull! I shot it some to get the parts to wear so I could see the spots to polish. I studied how the trigger and parts worked on the frame just pulling the trigger and watching. I took the entire gun apart and polished the parts that touched. I did the sear and striker and even took out the firing pin and polished the outside of it so it would move smooth in the tunnel. I clipped about 1 to 1.5 coils off the striker spring to lessen it a little. Some of the flat parts in the back part of the frame system I sanded flat with 600 grit to mate better. I polished the outside of the trigger bar where it touches the plastic frame. I polished the striker block button on the sides and the top and clipped 1.5 coils off it too. I also polished the top of the trigger bar bump that depresses the striker block button. After everything polished sanded and put back together the pull was smooth and down to about 4.5 lbs. I am going to leave it alone now and see how it shoots in. My next mod will be to drill and tap for a hex screw to get rid of some of the pre-travel. Looks to be easy, right on the frame where the bend on the trigger bar bottoms out on the frame at the back. I will be awaiting the sears from the above post because I am not adjusting the sear angle...as I do not have a mill! The reduced power springs will be nice too...let us know when they are avail.

Loves2Shoot Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 The trigger bar mod is for post travel. The modified sear will take care of the take-up, but won't be the same as a full blown trigger, as there are lots of little things when you take it to that level.

Chuck Merriam Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 That's why I will be forever a customer of people that do things better than I Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 are lots of little things when you take it to that level. Like what, specifically? Feel free to go into detail and take photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturmruger Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think it is is money well spent to have either Rich or Springer work on your XD. Why take the chance of messing it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j2fast Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 For anyone interested here's the results of some testing done using Bob H's new sear and spring (for those that don't know Bob was formerly with Barsto).

Sounds good, but I have spent too many hours on my hands and knees with a flashlight in my mouthing combing the shag rug for a tiny part to ever buy a gun where I can't buy ALL the small pieces.....

Loves2Shoot Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 ROFL!!! I acutally had one spring go down the stupid heater vent a night before a match. I tore apart the WHOLE room. Then Christine said, "what about the vent?", and I'm like no, it wouldn't go there, an hour later before I checked and guess what, it she was right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
