Talked to Bob about some of the things I wanted done, and sent it off yesterday to get it all taken care of. It's a 9mm Tactical, used specifically for USPSA Production shooting, and the plan is to put a Bar-Sto barrel in, low mount Bo-Mar rear sight, fiber optic front sight, and hopefully the new trigger stuff from them.

Also talked to Rich at Canyon Creek about it, but I knew I wanted a Bar-Sto barrel, and I really like the sounds of what they are doing with the new trigger.

So if you read this, Bob, take good care of it! Only bad news is my 1911 holster/mag holders haven't arrived yet, so I'm shooting my HK until one or the other arrives.

I too have gotten an XD-9 tactical, have begun using it in USPSA (one match so far) and am thinking about having some upgrades done. I have Canyon Creek in mind (didn't think of Bar-Sto).

I'm thinking of a trigger job, extended mag release, tungsten guide rod and a Dawson fiber optic sight set with the adjustable fiberoptic rear. I like the Bomar rear but I beleive I have trouble seeing an all black rear sight (I need bifocals now :roll: ) so I'd like to try the fiber optic rear dots. And I think I'll get a paint job (GunKote).

I haven't heard about the Bar-Sto trigger. What are the advantages?

Well, I am sure Bob or Rich can speak to the details much better than I can, as far as the trigger goes.

Main reason I sent mine to Bar-Sto is I've also noticed how soft the metal is on the sear, and I'm very curious to see how the new Bar-Sto part works out. That and I wanted a Bar-Sto barrel anyway, so may as well let those guys do it all at once.

I have something...different...in mind for finishing. Should be interesting to see how that part works out once Bar-Sto is done.
