XD-M trigger reset better than regular XD?

I have an HS2000 (forerunner of the XD) and like it a lot, except for the LOOOOONG trigger reset. A trip to Rich at Canyon Creek took care of it.

SA claims that the XD-M has a shorter reset than the normal XD's. Can anyone confirm/deny that? Any comments welcome. Thx.

The Trigger on the XDM is an improvement over the XD but as stated it is not all that it can be. The biggest difference is in the amount of take up (the take up on the XD is longer). The reset on the XDM is more consistent then the XD however it still has some "re-take up" ie the trigger resets and then you have to pull it back slightly to prep for the next shot. Over all the XDM is an improvement and a grate pistol.

I've been shooting my XDm for about 4 months in Production and have to say that the factory trigger isn't much to write home about. Spend the money on the Springer Precision trigger kit, read the forums here and on XDtalk.com about how to install or just send it to Scott at Springer Precision. Night and day difference. Now, it's very consistent on reset and much lighter trigger pull.

I just had a XDM in the shop and while the trigger was a little better than the standard XD, as stated, it is nothing to write home about.

If you want a really nice XD or XDm send your gun to Daniel Bachelor at Powder River Precision. Personally I think his parts are the best I have seen for the XD pistols and he can do really nice work on them (I have handled his personal XDm and it is sweet). His parts change the break point on the trigger pull so that the trigger breaks much sooner. The trigger will break when it is still in an almost vertical position, not when it has been rotated around to where it is almost touching the frame. In the end you get a much sooner break- so much less pretravel, a nice hard fitted overtravel stop that is very positive and a really smooth and much shorter trigger pull.

I,too,have both XD's and an XDM. I had mine worked by Rich at Canyon Creek Custom. He does wonderful work,fast turnaround,and a gentleman,too. I find that now the biggest difference between them is the replaceable backstraps on the XDM. Additional M's are on my list. My 2 cents.
