ironb Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 My Gf is shooting my XDM in production. what changes would you guys recommend (other than a trigger job) I have done to the gun for her and still keep it production legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PINMAN44 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Dude I personally love the way it feels right out of the box. Depends on the individual dude. She might like fiber optics sights and textured grips. I just like shooting my guns out of the box. The only thing I might do is put some springs in it and thats it for myself.

Chris Keen Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sights. The factory sights are better than the original XD, but they still leave a little bit to be desired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM262 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I am using the factory rear sight and a Dawson fiber optic front sight that work very well together. I did not like the white dots on the factory rear sight, so I blacked them out. Beware, I had a very hard time getting the front sight off. I was able to get the job done after a little research, but it was the hardest one I have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That along with a trigger job should be a nice setup for my better half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hello: I use the Warren rear sight and the Dawson fiber front sight. Next install the trigger kit from Powder River and it works great. Lastly a lighter recoil spring if you are reloading. That should do it and make it a great shooter. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironb Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 How does the powder river trigger compare with the Springer Precision trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCIE21715 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 How does the powder river trigger compare with the Springer Precision trigger? I'd highly recommend Springer Precision. The've done work on two of my Xds and I'm very happy with the results. Fiber optic sights, extended mag release, and triggers. Good turnaround and customer service.

fayetteflash Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Springer Precision gear is incredible. I just finished getting mine all setup and it rocks. I popped in the Springer trigger kit, extended mag release, solid guide rod and Dawson fiber front and adjustable rear sights. I did a little polishing on the striker and was all set. You can send it to Springer or have someone you trust work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperAWE Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 The powder river trigger is very nice also. I had an issue with installing it and they stayed on the phone and walked me through the entire process. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loves2Shoot Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 wait.....you can have an extended mag release on the xdm and it is still legal for production? Yes, just like you can put the mag release from the G34 in a G17. You must install one that matched the factory extended mag release profile (like ours.)
