I went to Sportsmans warehouse and they gave me the number of a gunsmith. I called him and he said he could get my trigger to 4# for 60.00 should I have him do it or should I spend 215.00 to have it done from springer?.. This guy just modifies the current trigger pieces and springer replaces them so please let me know what you think...thanks,curt

Send it to Springer.

HTOWN stunna · 08-06-2007, 05:45 PM

you can do it yourself for about 30 bucks,

jeff221 · 08-06-2007, 05:47 PM

All I can tell you is that after hundreds of guns, Springer has the process down. My XD9 was adjusted, new sights installed, guide rod, etc and I'm COMPLETELY happy with it.

If your smith has as many positive feedback responses as springer I'd say go for it... But, I feel that may be unlikely...

I will be happy to do your trigger job for $20.... I've been meaning to practice and don't want to risk my own guns...

Where did you come up with that kind of price from Springer?

Their Combat carry trigger job is only $125 and shipping is about $50. Thats way less than $215.00. For that price, you could throw in a feed ramp polish.

zazaj43005 · 08-06-2007, 06:44 PM

Here is a copy of the e-mail he sent me:
It would be $175 for the trigger (with Springer precision sear, springs
and trigger bar) and $45 for shipping.

Tally XD · 08-06-2007, 07:03 PM

Then I guess he changed his workorder price list in the past few weeks. Mine, I downloaded on my hard drive, still says $125 for combat trigger.

zazaj43005 · 08-06-2007, 07:19 PM

does springer warranty his work?..and what are the pros and cons of doing it myself rather than sending it to springer besides the cost?..

HTOWN stunna · 08-06-2007, 07:33 PM

with most of the parts available that are modded during a trigger job nothing is really effected beside the striker area that engages the sear face. the difference is that you know that you did it yourself and you can refine it as much as you want, ive been working on my trigger for about 2 years and have refined it to where it is now trying different ways during the process.
