PowderRiver Trigger mod (video)

[Hooz]

Hmm... I'm assuming it fits all models? 9/40 and 45ACP? I might have to try one or two of them.

Time to try drilling and tapping a few trigger bars I guess. What size screw does everyone use? Damn. I wish Tony lived closer.

One of these levers, a (self) drilled/tapped trigger bar and a $20 spring kit would be a pretty sweet, and extremely cheap home-made trigger job.

I used a 4-40 on mine. You can drill it with a regular drill press if your CAREFUL. I'll warn you though, I have done 4 of them so far and some of those trigger bars are freak hard!

I use a #4-40 set screw, the drill size is a #43. some people use a 3MM screw. I think that it's a little big.
I will drill your trigger bar and install a screw for $15.00+sh
on the 9mm and 40cal's, I like to put the screw in the frame and offer this service for $25.00+sh

I've never handled a gun with the Springer drop in parts so I can't say.

Are the two kits compatable? Yes and No

Yes you can use the Springer trigger bar with this part.

No you can't use the Springer sear.

That's what I've used also. I've done 3 trigger bars and all 3 where a bear to drill. That metal is really hard.

CARBIDE drill and a good tap I can include them as a kit for an additional
$10.00
+$32.25
$42.25

Drilling the trigger bar was a PAIN IN THE ASS!!! Tapping was a piece of cake that literally took minutes. I used a 4-40 screw and they can be had for pennies at a hardware store.

I used a cordless drill, not a press, and it sucked. If you're going to do it, make sure you use drilling/cutting oil. Trust me, it will take some time to get through the trigger bar.

Is there a list of mods available from PowderRiver somewhere - their website at www.powderriverprecision.com doesn't seem to have much listed.

This looks like a good mod!

Not that Im aware of but you can contact him directly and ask... he is a gunsmith so he is able to do anything you could want done on your XD or other firearms. I REALLY like his aftermarked trigger mod though. Like I said before, I dont get overly excited about something very often but this is really hard to beat for function and price.
