Gotta admit, not a fan of the 45 trigger - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

My HS2000 has about 5600 rounds through it. The trigger has always been pretty crisp since new but with it wearing in, I have not felt a better factory XD trigger than it.

The XD40SC I bought earlier this year has a bit more creep in the trigger, but it's still decent.

XD45 I just picked up sucks. Totally, absolutely sucks. It feels like a 1st generation Glock trigger, except with a very long reset. It's much worse than my duty Glock 22's trigger (which is suprisingly sweet).

I'm hoping a few thousand rounds will help it smooth out and get rid of the creep. If not, I guess I'm getting it worked on. My friend has a 45 tactical that he got last year and it was just as bad.

the trigger on my xd45 sevice is the sameasmy xd40 service. so im not sure what the dealis with yours

I am up around 1500 rounds through my xd45 and the trigger has definitely changed from a crisp break to a er.. less crisp break. It doesn't bother me, but it is something i noticed.

The trigger on my XD .45ACP Tactical, purchased about 2 years ago, was nasty, much worse than my XDSc 9 and XD .40 Service.

The reset alone made virgins cry.

I got a CC trigger job and now it's one of the smoothest shooting guns I own.

Who did your trigger job?

CC = Canyon Creek. Unless it's something else. Canyon Creek also has products available at Pistol Gear.

Canyon Creek did a beautiful competition trigger on my XD45Tactical.
Springer did a beautiful carry trigger on my XD.40 Service.
My carry 9mm is untouched to keep all the internet-lawyers happy.

Hey Tard, why did you use CC for one trigger job and Springer for the other? Just curious because I need one done bad on my XD45Service and it seems like both places get great reviews.

The XD 45 compact I just got has a horride trigger. Instead of shooting about 1,000 to 2,000 rounds, I just will send it to CC. I have had and XD 40sc and the XD 9 service, both triggers smoothed out after a few hundred rounds. I can just tell that this XD 45 compact will need the trigger job.

I got the competition trigger done by CC before I knew about Springer.
CC's reputation for 'range' triggers was so strong and this is a trigger for Range Competition ONLY, way too light for carry.

I did the Springer trigger job because it seemed people were really strong on his CARRY jobs which was what I wanted and supposedly the CC job replaces a lot of internal parts, NOT what I wanted in my carry trigger job.

Mostly I wanted the reset shortened and the trigger crisped-up a bit, it's at 5#.

So, I don't really have a solid answer here, both jobs were great and I'd go back to either again.
