My department policy requires that the trigger weight on carry guns be 4lbs and above. I noted that on Rich's website it says that his carry trigger is 4lbs. If any of you have had this done, could you measure and let me know how close to 4 it is? I would hate to send the gun in for $135.00 of work and thus make it useless to me. Thanks, MC

Mine is @ 4 1/2 pounds.

I'm sure , if you ask , Rich will make sure everything is good.

He's done 2 of my XDs and no probs.

 

[dolanp]

Yeah just tell him your limitations and I'm sure he will do what you need.

What he told us at the shoot is he actually gages it before it goes out the door factoring in ~ 1/8# for final wear in of parts/springs after a couple hundred rounds.

If your using a stock XD you shouldn't have to worry about the trigger. I think stock comes at least 5lbs up to 7lbs.

Rich scales everything before he ships it out, making sure the trigger is within the proper weight range, as discussed and required.

Yes but rich really smooths the action,overtravel and shortens the reset

 

[impcmonk]

yea, but a LEO wouldn't really need that for duty.

I would think anything that improves accuracy and speed.Would be a benefit
Lets face the facts they have a higher need for quality on target shoots then anyone.
Nobody has to have trigger work but it will give you an edge 8)
Ever felt one of Rich's trigger? one word WOW
I thought mine was awsome till I felt old school's :shock:

Lets face the facts they have a higher need for quality on target shoots then anyone.

Lets face it most people on this board shoot more rounds per year that 90% of the LEO

...but I still would like to have them scoring better quality shots when needed?

Thanks for the replies! While it is embarrasingly true that most LEOs don't shoot anywhere near as much as they should, there are those of us who put a significant amount of time into firearms training and practice (and enjoy the heck out of it). It is also just as true that most officers don't invest properly in physical fitness and unarmed defensive tactics. This doesn't negate the need for these actions.

As far as the trigger job goes, I don't have any problem with the current weight. But I would prefer a better reset, etc. And as R/C said, we have a greater need for quality accurate shots than anyone (Our targets shoot back). So, yes, we do need that for duty use!

Thanks again for the help. I think I'll probably ship it off within the next couple of days.

MC,

Be prepared. When you get your XD back, you won't be able to stop smiling. After a few minutes, your face will start to hurt.

Thats what I hear! I was planning on sending it out tomorrow. Do you know how much I should send to account for return shipping? Rich hasn't replied to my emails yet (probably because he is working on triggers!) and I am unfortunately quite impatient!

 

[NExd]

I would probably have him refinish the slide while it is there.

 

[Mountain Cop]

Good idea, but the slide just got back from SA where it was refinished under warranty (I too now have a OD XD.... but it's upside down! Pics will follow soon. :wink: ). And, as soon as my service gets back from Rich, my Sub will be sent to SA for a refinish.

Tough to say. I know he has a ton of work to get done this week before he leaves for a match. It would be best to give him a call on the phone.
