To begin with, I was a die hard S&W M&P fan until I picked up the XD-M 5.25 a little over a month ago. I'm accustomed to shooting an M&P 9 Pro with a 4.5# trigger out of the box.
Then, I bought the XD-M 5.25 which claimed to be "Competition Ready" which I soon found to be the farthest thing from the truth.
With the XD-M I went from shooting Bullseyes at 50 feet, with my M&P Pro 9, to shooting all over the board with the XD-M 5.25 'Competition'.
The first thing I noticed about this pistol was the excessive, and very lawyerly 7# trigger that I measured on my Timney Trigger Scale. After firing 6 magazines the trigger did not smooth out at all.
I'm really willing to give the XD-M a chance, but what would your advice be for me as far as the trigger weight goes? Does it ever smooth out, or will I be stuck with a 7# trigger unless I get an action job?
