Trigger work. - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I have an XD .45 ACP, and I have polished all the trigger components with the good ole dremel tool. Made it feel as though I have put 100,00 round through it. Is there any one that makes a reduced spring for the firing pin. The trigger is great, but a reduced spring would make it PERFECT.

I Contacted a buddy of mine and he said the same thing. I think I'll send it to Canyon Creek instead.

I will say this about that. Polishing aside doing my own trigger work to this gun is scary. I don't like the idea of messing with the trigger on any of my guns unless I am just changing parts. I am not against it but the profesionals are just that profesionals. Canyon Creek and Springer are getting many good reviews for a reason. they know how to do it.

A reduced weight firing pin spring is only going to create problems.

I'm in total agreement with Rich.

Swatkins, when it comes to the XD trigger, I know my limitations. IMHO, it's best to let a pro do the work unless you want to risk screwing up a perfectly good $500 gun. Canyon Creek has performed a 4# carry job on both my XD40 and XD45. They do outstanding work, they are quick, and if there ever is a problem I know they'll take care of it. Having said that, if you truly feel confident working on your trigger, have performed similiar work in the past, and in essence know what the heck you are doing....I say go forth and conquer.

Know your limitations but with proper study and preparation it will be no problem.

I agree. as long as you dont try to grind parts (sear, safeties). its not too difficult to do a trigger job minus the pull weight.
