Hi there ppl, I live in Arizona around the Phoenix area, and was curious if anyone nows where to send a slide to get hard chromed. And perhaps have a trigger job done as well on my xd40. Thanks again sorry if this isn't the right forum for this

The best for hard chrome is trippresearch.com. I do not know if he does triggers but you could e-mail him.

Another plus on Tripp Research for hardchrome.

As far as trigger jobs, there are 2 places that come to mind..

Springer Precision (member Loves2Shoot) and Canyon-Creek (member RIIID)
Both do fastastic work.

im really starting to think about something now. Whenever mike+p+, agalindo. and many others started posting how to do your own trigger work people were very interested here but on TXDPSA.com me and my dad (agalindo) started posting pics and all and all the replies we got were, "oh id send it to rich." (not to involve CC they do awesome trigger work) and now on txdpsa everyone wants a trigger job. sorry if it doesnt seem funny to you but it is to me.

Springfields prices seem to beat everyone else's, I am just curios why I dont see more people using them?

I have used Tripp for a long time, Virgil is a stand up guy and knows his stuff inside and out. There are other good platers out there too, but having someone not let you down in 7+ years and go above and beyond makes me not look elsewhere. His standard of business is something I strive for in mine. ~ Scott
