Hi all, I'm new to this forum, but have lurked around a bit. I was hoping you guys can help me with upgrading my XD40 without telling me to go buy a Glock or Smith/Wesson.
I just completed the Rockcastle/AR15.com 3 Gun, and it was very fun; my XD40 (4" service) ran smoothly for the most part. However, I did notice some deficiencies w/ the XD40.
Problem 1 was the trigger, there is just too much creep, and the pull weight feels too stiff for competition use. Everytime I got into a rush, I would end up jerking the trigger and cause a flier.
I am thinking of getting these 2 parts from Brownells to fix up my trigger issue:
Powder River Precision Trigger kit & Springer Precision Reduced Travel Sear
I'm hoping that these two parts will solve my trigger woes:
Does anyone have experience with these, and are they helpful?
Is the Springer Preicision trigger kit better than the Powder River Precision kit?
How tough is it to install these parts? (I've built ARs, but never pistols)
Problem 2 was ammo capacity, holding only 12 rounds per mag was a problem. I'm thinking of getting Arredondo mag extensions for my standard mags; do they work well? Or is there something better that might reliably get me to 16+ round capacity?
Thanks in advance for the help.
